I hate cravings

windandwaterI want to eat a black&white cookie so bad.
When I was in MUN and we went on our trip to New York (twice), I picked one up at the nearby deli during lunch to see what the fuss was about. I fell in love. It was unlike any other cookie I had ever had, and after that, I pretty nearly ate a cookie every day from that deli. Then when I went back to NYC the second time, one of the first things I did (after sleeping off the jetlag) was to buy a black&white cookie and eat it. It makes me sad that it's a New York or East coast thing. I can't find the cookie anywhere here where I live, and... well, I'm too lazy to bake them myself (even if I could find a perfect recipe). And there's no way I'd pay like $40 for a dozen of them from a company that does such things.
I guess it's how I only eat rambutan when I'm in South East Asia. I got hooked on them in the Philippines and noshed on them while in Thailand. I think they'd be my favorite fruit, but I only like them fresh. Or, as one of my uncles pointed out once to me, when they're stolen (we were on a family trip and apparently he filched a bag of rambutan from a street stall while we we stopped; he gave them to me and my cousins, and I devoured most of them and told him they were the best ones I'd ever had -- they were). XD! The stuff that you can get here in the US is in cans with syrup (like canned peaches or pears) and just tastes wrong. Unfortunately, rambutan doesn't grow around here. T__T
Why must tasty food always be such a trial to get ahold of?
