Since getting my appetite back, I’ve been overjoyed with the novelty of being able to eat such a wider variety of food. For the first time in a while, I look forward to the prospect of food shopping on a Friday after work, taking in all the different food, looking at what looks nice or sniffing the freshly baked bread and actually enjoying it, whereas before the smell churned my stomach.
My latest craving is cheese and pickle sandwiches – on multi-seed
bread. I just can’t get enough of them. That and an occasional love of peanut
butter sandwiches – for some reason I just adore them. Or rather, the baby
does. I can’t help what the baby wants to eat, can I. One night it was a big
piece of battered cod that I wanted – I just
couldn’t get it out of my head. And when I ate it, it was the most scrumptious
piece of cod I’d ever had. Next day, and a few weeks after that, I couldn’t even
bear the thought of cod. The latest fad became hard boiled eggs with salad
cream…then it was scrambled eggs with pasta. Then came hot cross buns. Ah yes, the magic of toasted hot cross buns
with a bit of butter. Next it was vegetarian burgers and jacket potatoes. But
the current fad is cheese and pickle sandwiches – oh – and I started making my
own soup. Sweet potato and butternut squash being my favourite at the moment.
Everytime I get a sniff of it, I get this almost irresistible urge just to
shove it all into my mouth and slurp it down. Erm, think I’d better remember my
etiquette as a well-mannered lady…Who knows what I might want to chomp on next?
I just count myself lucky that I haven’t been one of those women who’ve wanted
to eat something completely random like slugs or bars of soap. Yet. But I’ll
keep you posted.
