I don't miss the ice and snow and cold. I thought that I might miss it around Christmas but I didn't.
The only thing I miss is black dirt, Oak Trees, and the smell of the air after a rain. I don't play golf but I do love to get out and walk.
Cooking here in the SW is totally different than the Midwest and it took me sometime to get use it. I find that with the heat you like your foods much more spicy.
I found a cookbook that I love "Aprovecho" A Mexican-American Border Cookbook - Teresa Cordero-Cordell and Robert Cordell.
I have a new appreciation for SW food, nothing like you get in the Midwest.
What new experiences have you had?
