Current craving list.

1. The sun.

2. Spaghetti.

3. Hot chocolate and/or cider. (I don't even like cider).

4. Skim milk.

5. Central heating.

6. Grilled cheese and tomato soup. Lots of cheese.

In China, these desires are not easily satiated. I attempt to solve my food cravings with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, a method that is surprisingly effective. Yet some linger still longer, however; last summer, for instance, I had a craving for a corndog for two months while in Harbin.

Although, when I made it back to the States, I never ate one, and still have not to this day consumed one -- odd considering the ravings about corndogs I was prone to. So clearly, then, my mind is simply playing tricks on me, and I need be strong and persevere.
