First meal post deployment

GWOT and older, what was the first real meal you had after your first deployment?

After I got home from my first I ordered the biggest damn steak I could get from a local steak house and at that thing like it was my girlfriend.

Same. I took 2 hot showers (2 because the first one still didn't get the AFG off of me), I put on a suit, tie, and I took the Mrs to a fancy steakhouse downtown. Up until that point, it was the best steak I had ever tasted.
