My Planned Re-Entry Into American Food

I've been in Africa for about 9 1/2 months now, and that's just a pretty darn long time to be away from home. I find myself thinking about home from time to time, and one of the things I'm planning immediately upon arriving in the States is a blitzkrieg on all of my favorite American foods. The following, in no particular order, are some of the foods that I will be dominating upon my re-entry into American society:

1. Giordano's Pizza in Chicago. I have yet to have anything close to good American pizza in Africa.
2. A burrito from Chipotle.
3. Fajitas from Mazatlan.
4. Chips and salsa. I seriously miss Mexican food on a regular basis here.
5. Anything from Taco Bell. I even miss fake Mexican food!
6. A big juicy steak from Outback Steakhouse.
7. My dad's spaghetti.
8. Chinese food from Empire Express (which my friends and I affectionately refer to as "5/10 mini" because when you ask the waitress how long it will take to get your food, without fail she answers "About 5/10 mini").
   
9. Our family's "chicken in a pot" Sunday dinner.
10. Bruno's Pizza.
11. Miriam Wertz' homemade chili.
    
12. The Grand Empire Chinese Buffet.
    
13. My dad's grilled chicken.
14. Wendy's dollar menu.
15. A foot-long sub from Subway.
    
16. My homemade Chinese food.
17. Dairy Queen ice cream. I know it'll be cold when I get back, but I don't care!
    
18. Fruity Pebbles.
19. Jack's frozen pizza.
20. Thai food.
21. A big juicy hamburger. For some reason, they just taste different here.
22. Frosted Mini-Wheats.
23. Wings from BW3.
24. Papa John's Pizza. Seriously, I need pizza!
25. My mom's hot deli sandwiches. Luckily, these are a Christmas Eve tradition!
    

I'm sure this list will be expanding, but these were the first 25 things that popped into my head. With this game-plan in place, there's a good chance that I'll gain about 50 pounds my first week back home, but it'll be so worth it. My mouth is totally watering right now!
