I know the key isn't too think about the things you can't have anymore, but to think of the things you can. I get that. But that cuts out the mourning part. The pity party part. I think I deserve a little pity party. So, I'm going to throw it right here, right now. Then later, I'll think about how I can still have a good life. (And some of these things I know can be made at home with substitutions. Assume I mean the convenience of a restaurant, take-out, or grocery store processed food.)
I will miss:
Cheese on my pizza.
Cheese on everything Italian.
Ice cream, frozen yogurt, and sherbert of all varieties.
Ice cream cakes.
My favorite soup in the world: Tomato Basil from Le Madeleine's.
Creme brulee.
Most desserts that come from a restaurant. Especially the ones at Shelley's Bakery.
Candy bars that you can buy at the checkout lane.
Cheeseburgers.
Frijoles/queso.
Cheese samples from Dr. Gregory's stand at the Farmer's Market.
Dianne's cheese soup with a big dash of cayenne.
Chicken and dumplings.
Alfredo sauce.
Zupa Tuscano from Olive Garden.
Bread sticks from Olive Garden.
Beth's Chicken Spaghetti.
Nachos.
Chips and Queso.
Half-n-half in my coffee.
Yogurt. Especially Greek yogurt.
Curse you lactose!
