The first one was for Stove Top dressing. Obviously, this is of no culinary significance, but that's really what I wanted, and I wanted it really, really badly. I gave in and picked up a package, and eased my pain.
The next craving that came was for vanilla ice cream (Blue Bell, of course) with cooled left-over morning coffee poured over it. Those little icy crystals are such a treat for the tongue. However, one has to really spread those portions out over a lengthy period of time, or one makes oneself sick to the tummy. I speak from experience.
The next craving that came was for cantaloupe; no doubt that was driven by May's warming weather and their appearance in the grocery stores. But I know that they appear much earlier than when they are actually in season, so I gritted my teeth and avoided them. One point for me!
Once the house was finally on the market (June 2) I was ready to celebrate. The downside is that once one gets everything "Ready", one doesn't want to mess anything up, and that includes cooking anything that might make odors in the house or mess up the range. So, what was I craving then? My fabulous sauteed liver and onions, of course! (If you haven't tried mine, don't knock it. Mine are wonderful.) Well, after a week, I said, "To heck with it." Bought the liver and cooked up this yumola treat.
Next I gave in to the lingering craving for cantaloupe. The one I bought is o.k.; the flavor is almost there, and the texture has a little farther to go as well. It was not a waste of money, but I'm glad I waited.
What is the latest craving? I gave in to it today, and for supper I had a BLT sandwich. Of course, that meant frying bacon and tonight or tomorrow morning I will have to clean the stove top because the photographer to do the virtual tour for the on-line ad for the house will be here at 10:00 a.m. Maybe I'm beginning to take this high exposure in stride. Or maybe it's dementia. Either way, I'm covered.
