tasty tuesday - no recipe for you

i've been super busy the last week and didn't really have a chance to make anything fun or exciting so i thought i would do a quick recap of the sea monkey's favorites.


here's a top ten list of the cravings i've had:

1. steamed broccoli

2. grilled zucchini

3. corn on the cob

4. asparagus sauteed with garlic and black pepper

5. cucumbers

6. cilantro and hot sauce mixed on rice

7. a dish of pickles (mixed varieties - usually some dill, some sweet, maybe some olives or bean pickles)

8. sate chicken sub from the vietnamese sub place by my work.

9. poutine

10. plain waffle cones (not with ice cream)


i feel like i've had the most ridiculous cravings ever. this is supposed to be when i want to eat crazy junk food and random weird things. i don't. none of this is new. these are all things that i would eat before i was pregnant on a pretty regular basis. only change is that i eat larger/more portions of vegetables now.

take last night...

for dinner i had a small potato, a big pile of asparagus (about half a bunch) and a cob of corn. that was what i felt like.

i guess i should be grateful since i'm guessing my rabbit tendencies are a big factor in me not gaining huge amounts of weight.

a few more fun cravings thrown in would have been nice though.

i should learn to keep my mouth shut.

yesterday i announced that i haven't been wanting anything sweet.
BAD IDEA!
about halfway through the afternoon yesterday i started fixating on cheesecake.
last night i almost went out in my ugly plaid pants to get some.
i'm not joking about the ugliness of these pants.
let me paint you a picture here...
i got them from Santa in about grade 8. they are small men's flannel PJ pants. probably purchased at costco made by elves at the north pole. navy blue and jade green plaid (i know... you all must be jealous). they are too short by a couple inches if i wear them really low. they seem to be indestructible... these things are a good 15 years old and not even getting close to being threadbare. they are comfortable though so i just keep wearing them.

i still want cheesecake.
i may have to stop and get one on my way home. this will prevent me from considering going out in public in the ugly pants.
