i miss good ole turkey slices so i can make a turkey sandwich. is it truly so impossible to find here? maybe at costco? other than that, everything i miss is super bad for me. like zebra cakes. and yes i miss not having an oven. i've been making the same stir fried style dinner for months now. i miss bagel bites, pizza bites, lean cuisine meals (who knew???), but mostly the turkey. on a side note, anyone else make dinner out of their rice cooker? i'm going to attempt a rice casserole my mom whips up. the cake i might try as well. do they have real frosting here? maybe costco. damn i definitely need to make that costco trip soon! i've never been. TURKEY!!!! why do you haunt me so!!

I was missing real Cheetos for the longest time but then i found them at M department store in the grocery for 5,000 for a medium size bag. Lets just say i paid it.

There's Cheetos in the corner store at my work.

I miss Hickory Sticks, Cheezies, and ketchup chips.

Denny's for the breakfasts.
Arbies
Wendy's
Deli food from the supermarkets.
greek, italian and middle eastern restaurants.
chocolate bars
7-11 stores - they're not the same here, but at least they sell beer!!!

depending on what city you're in, you can find some of this stuff in Asia like Bangkok or Tokyo.

chuncheon dukalbi: the place on Geoje Island switched its menu when the bird flu scare happened and the one in Jinju closed down though I hear there's one more somewhere there (if anyone knows of a place in Busan or Gyeongsangnamdo let me know!)

soondae guk: with the clear angel noodles in the sauce, only one place I've ever had it and its on Geoje and the last two times I've gone back to the island I've had other cuisine (so many choices). time to go again.

lasagna: quality made, hard enough to find back home, impossible here unless you fiddle around to try and make it, even then: no cottage cheese, need an oven, etc

old fashioned apple pie: is there any place in this country that makes a great apple pie?

mexican chocolate chicken: don't you dare criticize this dish unless you've had it. I had it in Winnipeg several times at a fancy hotel restaurant which imports (literally) a new cook every six months from a different country each time: the chef was from mexico city and his dishes were amazing but none more so than this one
