I know this has happened to you - out of nowhere, you get the feeling that you want something to eat, something specific, but for the life of you, you can’t think of what it is you want. Standing in front of the open fridge doesn’t help. Rummaging thru the pantry doesn’t help. Thumbing thru your stash of carry-out menus doesn’t help. I know this board draws many intelligent people and some others who have their occasional moments… So tell me - what is it that I want?? ---

Well, if I’m PMSing, it’s something fatty and salty like a bacon cheeseburger. Otherwise ice cream is always the answer. I am also addicted to pickles these days. My husband is upset that he’ll never be able to determine whether I’m pregnant by using the “pickles and ice cream craving” criterion. Perhaps when I am pregnant I will crave liver. Ewwww. Anyway–go with the ice cream. It’s always a winner. ---

#12 from Tau Bay, the Vietnamese place down the street. It’s some kind of soup, I have no idea what but it’s so yummy… Don’t forget #2, Vietnamese egg rolls. You have to wrap them in lettuce with mint and cilantro. You better hurry, they close at ten. 🙂
