Do you guys ever just outta the blue get strange cravings? I'm not talking about dirt or nonfood substances. I forget what that is called, but..........I was craving a hamburger this morning with pickles and mustard. So I had four little White Castle cheeseburgers and dipped them in mustard and ate them with dill pickles. Yum-O. Now I am craving hamburger, veggie soup, and mustard. Notice a theme here? What's with the mustard shit? If I am pregnant, I will shoot myself. Can't do that again. We have been so careful. SIGH.

Love & Big Hugs,
Me.

Yeah I crave vinegary stuff like pasta salad or italian dressing on a salad. I found out not too long ago my mom used to wash my mouth out with vinegar when I was a kid....guess the punishment didn't work because I loved it. Now I have some weird obsession with it. Also crave other stuff but vinegar seems to be what I do most. Someone told me that we crave what our bodies need. I hear ya on the prego stuff, I couldn't imagine having another one. I love babies, just know I'm not cut out for all the work.

I have a three year old that has recently been diagnosed with and started therapy for autism. I cannot imagine in any remote sense having a newborn along with keeping up with Dillon.

think dirt craving is called something like pica?

Um, have specific difficult to satiate frozen yogurt & vanilla pannacotta cravings. Savoury ones: miso soup, vegemite
