Happiness is...
Cosmo en español.
That is, assuming I can still read in the language.

Bananas
Happiness is...
Eating my bananas without feeling self-conscious. Yes, I am that girl who has to turn the other way so you don't watch the act. Bananas, hot dogs, popsicles, they make me feel awkward automatically.
Is that weird? Am I alone in this world?
Or did the movies really just screw me up that much?
Drives me bananas sometimes... ;)

Thai food
Happiness is...
Thai food. Any foreign food really.
Every time I go to another country I try to experience something new. Unfortunately, I can't afford to go to another country for a while. Instead, I settle for little restaurants in the city. I love foreign food because it gives a flavor beyond my normal pallet and it gives me the tiniest glimpse into another life.
We got thai. And I had enough leftovers to enjoy it for 2 days! Incredible.

Foreign Food
Happiness is...
Thai Food.
In fact, I love all foreign food. But up there in my priorities is a good pad thai or pad see yew. Mmmm. Today we got some, and then we had the leftovers for dinner. What could be better than twice in a day?
A very relaxing weekend, I must tell you. You should try it sometime.

Travelers.
Happiness is...
People from around the world. We are all travelers, you see. And you can find a place like home at my table.
At least that way I can quiz you about your food and culture, talk about your language (and your kicking accent), and everything else that's onmy mind... Like last night, when a german businessman stopped by for a drink, and we learned about all things Germany. He sounded like a young Schwarzenegger! If that doesn't make you happy I don't know what will.

Chickpeas
Happiness is...
Everything the chickpea can make. I love it all.
Salad toppings.
Hummus.
Falafel.
Curry.
Stew.
Socca.
Flour.
Falafel. (Oh, did I say that already?)
Alcohol? Betcha never knew.
Just plain chickpeas.
Chickpeas belong to many cultures, so I think we all agree they're awesome.

Hummus!
Happiness is...
Hummus. There are a million varieties. And now you can make it from sweet potatoes! Happiness is hummus because I'm always in the mood for it and I never feel guilty for eating it. Put it on a pita, on crackers, on celery or carrots, or just dip your finger in it and savor the chickpea and garlic.
Why was I born White? I am convinced I should have come from another country, because everything that I think is bland or annoying is American. Go figure. For now, I am happy eating our wonderful foreign food mock-ups or imports. When I'm rich and famous (not if!) I will spend extra time walking the Incan trail. I will head to Australia to go bungee jumping. I will hang out in Moscow for the afternoon. I will fly down to Jordan or Lebanon or something and sit on my camel and chow down on some real hummus, tabouli, lamb, what have you. As for now, I am content.
