When I visit my homeland of Texas, I always begin craving Mexican food. I get excited a few weeks before, waiting for some delicious Tacos Norteños. The anticipation is almost as great as the experience itself. Sometimes, during the week, I crave bacon. I really really like bacon. Sure enough, I have to satisfy that craving on the weekend with some toast and eggs. Mmmmmm.
The most difficult cravings are those that occur during the day. As I mentioned before, we're Americans, so we have no patience, especially with food. During the day, I can rarely satisfy those cravings, so I have to wait. Other times, there's no chance of satisfying those cravings. Do you know how many places in Denver serve escargot? (The answer is not many). There is nothing worse than craving something that seems far away. A meal you had long ago in a small town in France. Or the meal you used to always eat at your favorite restaurant, but they've since shut down. Or my craving for Mexican food that cannot be quenched within Colorado.
I guess the question is, is it better to crave and not satisfy than to never crave at all?
What are your cravings?

Is all this talk about Cravings your way of telling us your pregnant?
Have you tried any of the taco places along Colfax? The authentic Mexican ones were everyone of the employees speaks Spanish and you are the only gringo in the place? I wanted to know what you thought of them. Angie and I really like a place called Tacos Y Salsa near her office.
