just a few things i really miss from home... (other than my friends/family)
- listening to KCRW from any room in my apartment (ok - my last place really had only one room... but taking my computer around from room to room is not practical.
- American Honey (by wild turkey).
- really great cocktails in general... i could use an old fashioned after tonight.
- the lightly/unscented body lotions that I had... the ones here conflict with my perfume.
- my favorite Bath & Bodyworks liquid hand soap.
- Mrs. Meyer's cleaning products.
- fresh market greens! they've never heard of kale, they don't bring pea shoots to the market though they're in season now... seriously, the produce is just totally sucking in general. i don't get how everyone says there's such great food here... not a fan. and what is the big deal about white asparagus? they make it out like it's a delicacy. i like my asparagus green, thanks.
- being able to get anything i need from some 24 hr market somewhere nearby.
- researching things online and actually finding answers.
- mexican food
- my electric kettle (though i can get one here - but haven't yet)
- yogi tea - green antioxidant (i don't care about antioxidant - it was just my favorite flavor)
- forget all the tapas - give me tacos al carbon! taco zone? mariela's? BFTE?
- being able to Yelp! about stuff.
but just for balance - some things i welcome about Barcelona (again, other than friends/family)
- not having to drive.
- relatively cheap wine/cava/beer
- finding my favorite hair care product cheaper here
- great art nouveau architecture
- listening to KCRW traffic reports and being happy i'm not sitting in traffic
