Odd cravings
Kasia January 24th, 2008
I get the weirdest cravings sometimes. Like once, when I was at a concert at Orchestra Hall with my mother, I got horribly thirsty after the intermission (when you can’t get anything to drink anymore), and spent the whole second part of the concert fantasizing about orange juice. I HATE orange juice! But nothing, absolutely nothing, sounded as good to me as a frosty glass of OJ.
Well, about thirty minutes ago I suddenly realized I had a craving for egg nog. Usually my mother has it for Christmas Eve, and I have a glass or maybe two, and that’s it for the year. However, my mother picked up and moved to New Mexico last March. Which isn’t a bad thing, really; I get to appreciate her more when I do talk to her, and she gets to be retired in the Southwest. Win-win.
It didn’t even occur to me this year that I might miss the egg nog, so I didn’t buy any. Now, of course, it’s out of season and probably not available at stores. So note to self: next Christmas, buy a pint of egg nog. It’ll be well worth it to avoid the weird cravings for the next eleven months or so.
I don’t want to freak you out or anything, but egg nog can be made at
home…from scratch!
TBS
Ooooh! TBS stole my comment!
I know it can be, but who really wants to drink a whole batch of egg nog?
The other day I was craving pork rinds. I ended up giving the whole family a craving for pork rinds.
I’m taking pork rinds in my lunch tomarrow
There’s still egg nog around the Detroit Metro area, Kasia. The C.F. Burger Creamery (in Detroit) is still distributing it through February, I believe. Check Kroger or your local Spartan store. I just picked some up this past weekend.
