Are You Hungry?
I'm really weird with food. I usually get stuck on one thing for a long time. Usually it's decently healthy, easy to make, and tastes good (to me.) And so I make it over and over and over until... no I never get tired of it, I just find something else. And I can only focus on one food at a time ;)
For awhile it was these large, delicious salads. I'll try to do a blog post on them this summer. It's seriously the yummiest salad ever, and not that hard to make.
Then bananas and peanut butter.
Then it was Greek yogurt, stevia, and whatever I could find to add.
Then sourdough bread and peanut butter.Â
For awhile I did spoonfuls of coconut oil.
And then anything with peanut butter or nutritional yeast.
Normally these food obsessions originate with hunger.Â
I'M HUNGRY!! NO, I'M STARVING!!!!!!! WHERE IS THE FOOD???? IMAGINATION, MAKE ME FOOD. EAT WHATEVER YOU CAN FIND, BE SATISFIED.
And, this is just what I do. I eat what I can find.
I've discovered that I liked things I always thought I didn't like during times like these. Such as:
mushrooms
grapefruit
avacados
raw banana peppers
eggs
mustardÂ
Some days I try things that are nasty, though. Such as...

It looks like a carrot stick dipped in snot... just saying.
...sweet potato fry dipped in guacamole. It tasted like two splendid distinct flavors clashing for superiority. Basically, I did not like it.
Another time I tried corn chips dipped in peanut butter. That wasn't so bad.Â
On one of these starving days all I could find was some of my sourdough bread, some Monterrey jack cheese, and some crunchy peanut butter.
I was so hungry I couldn't decide whether to make a cheese sandwich or a peanut butter sandwich. So, I put it all together... and it was quite good.
Awhile later, while babysitting, the kids were hungry.
My mind came up with a clever idea:

Havarti Cheese:

Peanut Butter:

Put them together:

Yummy!!!
I told the kid, "Now this looks nasty! But it doesn't taste nasty!"
I tried a bite first just to show him so. Then he tried it.
"You're right!" he said. And then he ate it all. And has asked for it again. And again. And again. Yummy.
I've recommended this yummy snack to several of my friends.
They think it sounds gross. I told one friend, "You can't vomit until you try it."
And of course once you try it, you won't vomit :D But that didn't seem to convince her ;D
What do you think? Will you try this out? What are some weird food ideas you've tried that turned out to be tasty? Even some nasty ones, just for laughs! I'd love to hear your stories :)Â
