(Yours Truly, in 1992, visiting grandparents in Seattle and already rocking the one pant-leg up situation) I will always be a city girl at heart, and I do get home sick.

Not any belief thing this or that, we just cooked a lot more veggies and other protein sources. Anyway, I keep going back to Green Kitchen, and Thug Kitc
