Cravings

My cravings with this pregnancy have been different than those when I was pregnant with the boys. With both Gabe and Israel, I craved coffee, black tea, and jalapeƱos. With this one, the thought or smell of coffee makes me feel nauseous, and I feel highly ambivalent about black tea and jalapeƱos. Cilantro still makes me have a slight nose wrinkle.

I have, on the other hand, been wolfing down pasta. WalMart's "Shells and Cheese" has a new avidly drooling admirer. I have also been craving hard salami recently. My eyes lit up tonight when I saw hard salami sandwiches with mayonnaise, cheese and lettuce at the fellowship finger foods we had tonight after church (dreamy sigh...I could speak here of my obsessive love for all things fellowship meals and finger foods, especially from Mennonite cooks, but I shall save that for another lengthy post), and I was fleet of foot as I dove in for the sandwich salvage. It slid down the gullet right well. Right now I would pay a WHOLE lot of money for another one. And I do mean a WHOLE lot. Audible swallow. Swipe of saliva.

Or maybe some Vienna Sausages.

Mmmmmmm.......

Ah, the fond memories I have of you scarfing down food at fellowship meals- especially blueberry delight. So, do you think the different cravings mean a girl this time??? Hmmmm. Well, I crave all things bland- pasta, chicken rice soup (Thai style, cheese pizza, cheese and crackers,fried rice. Anything rich or spicey makes me go...bleeeeeeeeeeeeeh. Candice

I'm with you on the carbs. I've been craving pasta, any kind of pastries and potatoes. I was craving scallopped potatoes last week and thanks to my wonderful husband who pealed and scallopped all the potatoes, I was able to satisfy that craving. I even added bacon bits to the top, which made them even more delectible. I agree with you Candice on the spicey. Can't handle it right now. Love you two, Carmen

Food....yum.

I made a turkey-cheese-scrambled egg sandwich the other day. Which might sound awful to some ears, but was absolutely awesome to me.
