Foodities

Why does everything smell like hot dogs?  I’m not kidding all day – at least 4 times today I’ve smelled hot dogs. On the street, in my doctor’s office, at my client. I mean there cannot be that many people eating hot dogs. I think I’m craving hot dogs, but am I allowed to eat hot dogs? I bet that is on the naughty list…do you think the chicken hot dogs from trader joe’s are on the bad list ?  Those things are delicious!
Other random food-ities moments I’ve been having:

1.  Egg MCMuffins – I have not eaten one of these since 1999 and all the sudden yesterday I NEEDED one!  I ate it in the restaurant so quickly I bet the guy next to me was thinking I hadn’t eaten in days….oops.  I’d like to note Lee Farrar’s favorite breakfast is Egg McMuffins, so I think the baby takes after her !
2. Chips – I used to say this was a food group I could most definitively give up for 10 years. Now I can barely make it 2 days without chips. What is up with that?  Yesterday at pita pit – yet another establishment I found myself at that I had no idea I liked – I couldn’t decide between baked bbq and baked cheddar and onion. I wanted baked Doritos. Kacie and I used to inhale Baked Doritos when we went to camp in 2004. I bet Burr wondered why I always smelled like doritios when he first met me. He also might have wondered why I weighed 40 pounds more than I do now….apparently Doritos baked or not….not so  calorie- free.  Now I would probably say I’d give up ice cream before chips….does that mean  I’m having a boy b/ c I love salt.  Last week I ate potato chips for dessert at night instead of an actual dessert. Then I had to throw away our leftover chips from the BBQ because I was chowing down on them way too quickly.  Then, yesterday we went to Jason’s deli and we got the salad bar, except I ordered mine with a side of Baked Lays…Burr looked at me like I had 3 heads “Hey Mister…when a girl wants chips, she wants Chips!! If it was acceptable to only eat that for lunch I would!”
3. Cottage cheese –  I didn’t even like the taste of cottage cheese before I got pregnant. Thought it tasted like rotten milk, funny since it really is old milk essentially. Now I love it! Perhaps because its soooo salty. Yum.  
4. Peanut Butter – No I am NOT craving this or getting near it. But if Burr eats it I can smell it for hours in the house. Thankfully he usually eats it for breakfast so I can leave the house for hours, but I swear I can smell it 100 yards away….oh you want a kiss goodbye??? – you’ll have to brush your teeth, floss, rinse with mouthwash and REPEAT. TWICE. Love ya!
5. Bagels and cream cheese – Yes, Ms. Healthy is in love with them! Thankfully there are such fun things as bagel thins that I’ve been loving but still.  The very first week I was pregnant. I ate breakfast (I’d say 1.5 bowls of cereal) went to jazzercise, met a friend for coffee and somehow ended up with a bagel and cream cheese in front of me…hell breakfast number 2!
6. Pizza – Last night I was craving pizza, and of course since I give in to every pregnancy craving….I take that back – I have not gone to get my Chik-fil-a sandwhich or milkshake yet, nor has anyone delivered me fresh La Duree macroons (HINT HINT)….but anyway last night I wanted Pizza so we had a 30 minute conversation about where I wanted it from…finally we decided to try  a new place and I convinced Burr to walk there, it’s about a mile. This was a feat considering we had already walked about 3.5 miles before church and ran errands most of the day.  But we walked and shared a pizza. And it was just liked the ones we used to heart in Lodnon. DELISH. I will definitely be returning quite soon.

Well there is plenty more to add to this list but I might as well save that for another day. My favorite quote about food so far, or Burr’s favorite. I was maybe 7 weeks pregnant and we have Carmel Delights (or Samoas as some of you call them) in our freezer. One night I went to go get one and they were just GONE!!  I looked in the trash and there was the box……WHAT?!  I mean this isn’t a cookie I can just run down the street I buy.  I swiftly found the culprit (aka: Husband) and stated “You have to ASK your pregnant wife before you EAT all the BABIES’ COOKIES?!  That is just NOT right!”
