How often do you get a true craving for.....

something?   For some reason I really, really want potato salad or macaroni salad.  I know you can eat whatever you want in any season you choose but I usually make those salads in the summer.

 

I didn't even make mac salad this year.  DD doesn't like it and with DH gone it seemed like a lot of work for a couple of servings for me to eat.  Store bought usually isn't that good. Same with potato salad. I tried some from Wegmans and didn't care for it.

 

I might have to break down and make some anyway.   I don't think DS is crazy about it either.

@CrazyKittyLvr2; I say...make the potato salad if you have a craving. If no one else wants it, just make enough for yourself.  

 

I usually make potato salad if I'm having family or friends over for dinner. But, every now and then, I get a craving. So, I make just enough for myself by using only one medium potato. I can get a couple of servings out of it. Try it!

I get cravings for a lot of foods. The most recent craving was for Pepperidge Farms coconut layer cake. We celebrated 3 family birthdays without cake, so I know why I had the craving. I bought the coconut cake, ate one slice, and I'm good now. Teacher daughter took the rest to her boyfriend.

@CrazyKittyLvr2   I tend to eat a lot of the same things, so I don't get a lot of cravings unless I see something on TV.  You know, how they show the food really close so you can almost taste it.

 

Now that you've mentioned potato salad, I think I want some too.  You don't think we both could be pregnant, do you?   Cat LOL

@2blonde  I can't speak for you but I only have 1 ovary and can say without a doubt, my eggs are fossils by now.

 

As an aside, my other ovary is gone due to an ectopic pregnancy when I was 37.  Surprise, I had my tubes tied at 26.

 

Drs. were shocked it happened 10 yrs. later. although not as shocked as I was.  DD was a senior in high school and DS was 14.

@CrazyKittyLvr2   Wow, I guess that WAS a surprise!  I still have all my original parts, but have never used them, so they're probably a bit rusty by now.  I also had my tubes tied when I was 31.  Since I was single, it's a good thing it worked for me!

There is a prepared food store in a local casino.  On my way home, I pop in there to buy food, and my most recent craving was for a tuna pasta salad.  It is delicious!

@2blonde  The kicker was my tubes weren't just tied they were cut and cauterized.

 

The Drs. who did my partial hysterectomy told me to by a lottery ticket.  Had no idea how it happened so long after it was done.

I would have eaten the whole cake! It's my favorite.
