1. Taking in some green. I love St. George, but I do miss the farm fields and many trees of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. I think no matter where I live, Lancaster will always have my heart. I just love it!
2. Rita's Water Ice. It's hard to explain to anyone who has never had water ice what exactly it is. To say it is like a sno cone, but better is just an insult to water ice. One day I should open up a Rita's here because it would be a hit. They are soooo good.
3. I love Oregon Dairy. A little fact is that it was built the same year I was born. It's a local grocery store, but they have the best ice cream and macaroni salad. I know that sounds just odd. I am not a big fan of macaroni salad, but I would commit all sorts of crimes to get my hands on Oregon Dairy's salad when I am pregnant. It's just that good. They must put some addictive ingredient in it.
4. Some good Italian food. If you want good Mexican, come out West. But we lack good Italian. I miss "hole in the wall" pizza and pasta joints. Only back East do they know how to make a cannoli. I can't wait to put back some of that divine goodness.
Hmmm, should I be concerned that most of my excitement revolves around food? Nah! I only get it every coupple of years. Pennsylvania here I come!

I'll trade you any Italian restaurant you want for one Cafe Rio.
Did I tell you the Rita's next to our house in VA closed? We are so sad!
Oh, Sue, I am so with you on this subject although I've never tasted Oregon Dairy mac salad, I do have rememberances of other delicacies such as Italian Hoagies, and I don't mean Subway, and cheese steaks, and yes, cannolis and the best pizza ever! My kids hardly ever think of family when they go back East. It's always the food! When David came back from Philly a couple of weeks ago he brought me one! Heaven in the mouth. :-) I also love scrapple too. I hear it's an aquired taste, but if we make a visit again I plan on stocking up!
I am so excited for you that you get to head home for a week. There is nothing as great as being home! I love the green of Oregon. I think I may not head back! :D And my obsession revolves around food as well. There are just somethings you can't get anywhere but there. Although, I agree with Bonnie. I could not give up my Cafe Rio in Vegas. Too yummy! Have so much fun!
