Talking Sudden food cravings

I just got hit with a serious craving for old-fashioned oven-baked scalloped potatoes and ham.

I get that craving about 10 times a day. Probably why i've gained 30 lbs over the last year and a half.

I get cravings like that once in a while (and no, I'm not with child either). There was one time in college where three of us were sitting around and someone said "pecan pie". Suddenly, we all had a craving. We went down the local drag (Thayer Street in Providence, Rhode Island), stopping at each restaurant:
"Table for three?"
"Do you have pecan pie?"
"No"
"Never mind"

We finally found a place... "no, we don't need menus, just three slices of pecan pie".

Hmm, close to something we would have pulled, except woulda gone something like:
Quote:
"Table for three?"
"Do you have pecan pie*?"
"Yes we do"
"Then nevermind"
* We probably would have said something more common, like mustard or salt.

I can't eat anything--it's too hot down here in DC.

You sound like my kind of person, definitely!

If demolishing an entire bowl of assorted fresh fruit without realizing it until there are only cores, stems and peels scattered about is any indication [me, 20 years ago], you're right.

Oh yeah. Fellow potato fiend here! Can't think of any potato dish I don't like. My husband always gets after me; carbs, keep my weight down.

Don't forget to add a load of butter and some cream to the mash!

My fave pots are roasties, Parboiled, soaked in olive oil and then put on the shelf in the oven under the roast.

It's that poor woman's most famous line, actually. It's how she announced her pregnancy to the court--"Such an incredible fierce desire to eat apples. The King says it means I am with child." Whether she actually craved apples or not, history does not record.

Carbs are good for you! You need way more carbs than fat; it's one of the reasons Atkins is a bad idea. (I love potatoes, too. One of the--many--things I really miss with Graham being gone is his fried potatoes. Yum!)
