It's amazing how much a little taste of home can make you happy. Even when it's as small as a cucumber. A while ago Pin and I were grocery shopping together (randomly) and talking about vegetables. For some reason I remembered one of my favorite childhood snacks: sliced cucumbers soaked in vinegar. My mom always put them in a bowl in the refrigerator with ice cubes so I could eat them when I got home from school. I'm not really sure what purpose the ice cubes served since they were in the refrigerator, but I always thought it was a nice touch. Pin thought it sounded disgusting, but I've been scouring the stores for vinegar ever since. Eating them today after work was just about the best thing ever.

Sadly, there was more I wanted to say, but I've forgotten it after spending 2 hours on the phone with Sarah, aka the Mistress.
