I new my vacation was going to be all about the food. There are so many things I miss being in Paris. Don't get me wrong, the food is amazing there - and much better for me - but for five months, I've had cravings like crazy.

Here's just a peek at what I've been eating:

• Blueberries, blackberries, huckleberries, and golden raspberries
• Carne asada tacos
• Mom's chocolate chip cookies
• A thick chocolate milkshake
• Corn on the cob
• Pancakes and bacon
• Goat cheese and pancetta strata
• Smores
  
• Grilled peaches wrapped in prosciutto drizzled with a balsamic reduction
• Fresh peaches
• Watermelon
• Crab

Yeah, it's been a good vacation. And Americans wonder why we have weight issues! I'm sure I'll gain a couple pounds on this trip, but compared to the 20 I lost in Paris, I'm in fairly good shape. Imagine that - going to cooking school in France actually helps you lose weight. Have I discovered a new diet fad?

I will be taking a few things back with my on the plane. I'm sure this sounds like a rather odd list, but hey, I'm excited: Starbucks Awake tea, mac and cheese, and Best Foods mayonnaise. Vive la France!
