So as most of you know I am pregnant with my third child. (Second pregnancy)  
I haven’t been craving anything in particular for very long, but I have had waves of cravings such as:  
Milk. Mmmmm, tall glass of cold milk.  
Peanut butter toast (With a tall glass of cold milk of course)  
Orange juice  
String cheese  
Microwave green chili and beef burritos

I haven’t been craving sweets very much this pregnancy. I also get intense cravings for meat sometimes, and other times it makes my stomach curdle.

So what do you crave?

I didn’t have pregnancy cravings, but I have a serious sweet tooth and I always want a little something pastry-like with my breakfast. Muffins are good. And, of course, chocolate is always good.

I was going to post this in the last thread, but \*\*Apes \*\*snuck the new one in on me so:

Back from a yummerrific dining experience. Our chef was very low key and, frankly, not too with it. He cooked up and distributed to scallops to everyone who ordered them except for me. So he had to send for more scallops, and I ended up getting a larger portion, so other than having to wait, I can’t complain. Daughter is feeling much better, so yay for that.

\*\*FCD \*\*has decided he’s not going into work tomorrow since he has to spend the rest of the week in Johnstown. Must be nice… I’ve got too much to do to blow it off, so I’m gonna be a dedicated professional and all that. Go me! 😃

I guess that’s all for now. I think I’ll knit till my eyes start closing.

_ **MWAH!!** _

Carbs, mostly. I’m a big tortilla chip & salsa fan. Chocolate’s also good. As a kid, I’d eat an entire sleeve of saltines at a sitting. I’d also make bread sandwiches, with nothing on them. Basically, if it’s anything they use to make sugar, booze, bread or oil, I’m a big fan.

Now that I’m a diabetic, this is all a bit of a problem.

I crave chocolate a lot of the time.

I’ve heard that depressed people eat more chocolate.

Where the hell I am supposed to post at eight Post Meridian on Sunday night?

How the hell can your third child be a second pregnancy?

I really don’t understand this girl stuff.

Best $400.00 I ever spent.

Rosie! Is Essohel Yiddish or Hebrew?

I was just mentioning this on the way home tonight as we passed the donut shop that sometimes makes chocolate filled chocolate cremesticks. Yum yum yum yum yum! I dare not stop and see if they are part of the current rotation.

Right now, I’m craving pain meds that work and that I’m not allergic to.

Food-wise, my craving was for cheesy poofs, and a quick run to the panty solved it.

That’s funny - I did actually have chicken for dinner last night at a restaurant called St. Hubert. It’s expensive, but I really like it.

**flytrap** - Esso-what? I don’t recognicize that word. Therefore it’s probably Greek. FTR - you’re better off asking **Lunch** those language questions. He’s cute, too.

I crave - - - money. And I’m never sated. 😉

I wonder if it’s similar to the Polish Osiul?

When sah-guy is being good I call him Misiu (Mishu), and when he’s being obstinate I call him Osiul (Oshul).

I sure thought it was Yiddish, her being a Jewish Princess and all.  
She always said, “You’re Essohel”.
