Freshman Fifteen

Anytime we're with other Americans in Prague, reminiscing about our home country, the conversation always comes back to food (...and Target, but that's another post). There are just some things you can't replicate.
Some of the favorites we enjoyed during our trip to the States:

The obvious: Chick-fil-A.


Revolution Pizza. Best pizza in Charlotte, hands down.


Home-style Barbecue.
[It was at this Edisto Island event that we saw her. But, again, that's another post.]


Shrimp.
Grits.
Shrimp and Grits.


You've already seen this shot from the Kulps' house, but just the brands represented here made us swoon: Trader Joe's, Peperidge Farm, Reese's... oh!


Oooh-la-la & Grampa (re)introduced the boys to s'mores.


I made up for missing these by consuming more in 3 weeks than I had in the previous 32 years total. I mean, they're oatmeal... right?


Nothing like a good-sized Solo cup.


Taco Bell has added green salsa?!? Yesssss!


Good, creamy mint chocolate chip ice cream. Ohhhhh....


Okay, we have beef in Prague... this was just a good food picture.


We left the States feeling like this, and with several extra chins as evidence.
