I had one of my friends Anna bring me back a few packets of Ranch Dressing over the Christmas break from the States. So I mix it up with some yogurt because sour cream doesn't really exist here and I dip a chip in it...and...WHAM...I realize how much I missed the stuff. I actually had forgotten what it tasted like already.
It's not like I ate the stuff every day but I did have on a frequent basis as the kids grew up and enjoyed dipping my pizza in it. I was so shocked at how much I actually missed the taste. I think it also has something to do with the fact that I'm a huge chip and dip fan...
So now I'm rationing my Ranch Dip and have it all figured out to last me at least a couple of months. Sad but true...some things like Ranch Dip and Green Tea just don't have foreign equivalents here in Italy.
So the things I miss slowly fade away and I realize that when I leave here I will have a whole lot more to miss...the cappuccinos here are really fantastic btw.
