what do you crave when you come back home?

When I come home from anyplace I want to go have a margarita at the Miracle Grill here in NYC, which is my favorite drink on the planet. (And--I can't drink much of anything alcoholic except tequila, so often if I've been travelling I won't have had a cocktail in weeks. So it's nice to have one to mark the end of the trip.)

I don't crave anything when I travel domestically. But when I leave the country I crave belonging. I love traveling and discovering feeling like a memember of the international community. When we land again in the U.S. I always am so glad to see the custom people like they are family welcoming me home. I know I will not get some antagonistic question about the U.S. I know people will just accept me for me at least this is how I feel until some caby in NYC flips me the bird.

When I come back to Long Island after being away a while, I want a good bagel and a good slice of pizza. Everyone has these things, but not many can compare to here. All three daughters, when away at college, had requests to bring up these things when we visited, or when they came home for breaks, it was always on the list of things to get.

When I come home from anywhere abroad, I crave very cold skim milk. I know that you can find skim milk throughout Europe, but it doesn't seem to be as readily available as whole milk, and it's never cold enough for me. I can only enjoy it when it's very, very cold.

Elizabeth - In & Out Burgers is a California chain - the best fast food burgers around! Be sure to try a double double when you're out here visiting. Order it "animal style" like a local. That includes extra sauce and grilled onions. When I get back from international travels, the first stop on the way home from the airport is an In & Out Burger stand.

I think it depends on the destination I've returned FROM....I just got back to Honolulu from Atlanta last night and the first thing I wanted to eat was some nice, fresh, reasonably priced sushi. not that I know much about sushi in Atlanta, but I was only eating Southern fare all week.
When I come home from San Francisco, which is culinarily like Hawaii, then I simply crave anything my mom makes.
When I come home from Europe, for some reason I crave Vietnamese food!

I must say (I hope this doesn't sound like I'm bragging!), I crave my own cooking! Although one of the highlights of vacationing is eating in restaurants (and not having to do the dishes!), I do miss "my" food. Upon returning home, I usually make some of my favorite meals. Chinese take-out from my favorite neighborhood restaurant is a close second! ;-)
