Craving

Someone asked me what food I was most looking forward to having again when I get back to the US, and I couldn't even narrow it to a top 10. So I figure food is as good a place as any to start in looking on the bright side of getting back to Chicago.  Here's what I plan to eat, but not necessarily in this order (and in some cases it will take multiple trips to the same place):

1) Indie Cafe - panang curry, sweet potato tempura maki

2) Kopi Cafe - egg sandwich supreme (hard boiled egg, horseradish, tomato, greens, on mini baguette), baked nachos, blueberry white tea, chocolate malt

3) Hopleaf - any beer, blueberry mead, CB&J (grilled cashew butter, fig jam, and morbiere cheese) sandwich

4) Icosium Kafe - Carthage crepe (feta, roasted veggies, walnuts), mint tea with honey

5) Tweet - veg biscuits & gravy

6) Coffee Studio - cappuccino, mini goat cheese quiche

7) In Fine Spirits - some kind of awesome gin cocktail

8) Apart Pizza - vegetarian (4 quarters, one of which is corn)

9) M. Henry - breakfast bread pudding

10) Hannah's Bretzel - any sandwich on bretzel, white cheddar & watercress sandwich

11) Bleeding Heart Bakery - veruca salt (salted caramel) cupcake

I'm also looking forward to fall baking, pumpkins, apple cider, and other festive foods (birthdays, Thanksgiving, etc.)  Mmm...
