Did you ever wake up feeling like you have a hangover when you had absolutely nothing to drink the night before? This happens to me from time to time, like this morning, when I double-checked my day yesterday just to make sure I didn't drink a pitcher of martinis that I've totally forgotten about.

Nope, not a drop to drink, so I guess this hangover is from allergies or some other unknown reason.

As anyone who reads my blog knows, I often have food cravings. When I don't I worry about myself. How do people know what to eat if they don't have cravings? Or maybe people gain weight if they don't have cravings. I crave, covet and pine for something, and then I eat it because nothing else will do. If I'm craving avocados, a chocolate milkshake won't do nor will a cheeseburger nor a hunk of fudge.

When I wake up with a no-reason-for hangover and without a craving I feel asea, focusless and odd. On days like today I could eat anything or nothing, depending upon my boredom level, access to goodies and what I'm doing that day.

I always feel more alert, more optimistic and more motivated when I have some kind of craving. So I'm going to think about food now and see if I can come up with a true craving for some something, then I'll call husband and with a sweet voice make my request.

How about you, craving any particular food or drink right now? Maybe I can catch your craving and call it my own.

I'm not craving anything. Isn't that horrid? Maybe its something in the weather that makes us like this. Sometimes I crave a food that I desire so much, anything else I put into my mouth tastes like cardboard. Other times, like now, I just don't know what I want. *shrug* I'm a twist ice cream girl, indecisive.

Nicole, you are definitely a craving type of girl. So now there are two of us with no idea what we want to eat.

It was so bad this morning, I ate a banana. I eat one about every 6 years. UGHK

Jeni, I felt a craving twitch when I read artichokes, mmmm, haven't had them in a while and now it sounds like a marvelous idea, thanks!

I will sometimes crave something specific - usually because my body needs something. And it will be a cycle - like i'll drink milk non stop for 2 weeks and then not touch it for a while.

Or tuna for a few weeks then nothing. I get in food moods. :)

Right now i'm not craving anything in particular but I think part of that is the fact that i did 60 ab crunches on the exercise ball and i've got that vaguely nauseous overworked tummy feeling. :)

Gavin Elster -working late
Baked pear. cut the top off a nice big pear. Core out the center with a melon baller. Fill the center with honey and a splash of white wine. Top it with cinnamon. Wrap it in parchment paper and throw it on a cookie sheet and into the oven. Bake for as long as you can stand it and eat hot hot hot!
I could eat 20 of 'em right now!

Baked pears sounds wonderful too...I am pearless now although not peerless.

Hi Mary,
I might be weird, but when I don't eat a vegetable all day, the next morning I have what feels exactly like a hangover! I should just drink! Maybe you are developing something like that.

Thanks Nicole, you understand how bad it is when you actually eat a banana without being forced to.

Gavin, as you once posted, Satan is responsible for something like 10 deaths in the bible, while god is killing off thousands in one clip. I am more inclined to hang out with Satan. I'm more inclinded to invite Satan for dinner than god, with those statistics. Marshmallows yummy, gummy mallowy - I want one on a stick roasted over a fire. Then I will do my marshmallow trick which is to remove the crispy top while leaving hot tongue-burning white lava on the stick to drip down on my naked thigh...(I am in shorts in this memory.)

The no-veggie hangover, good one Lori. Perhaps that's the reason, I do have the worst diet in the world. I like veggies, if impeccably fresh, then covered in something tasty like cheese or garlic, butter and lemon, drizzles of honey and specks of red pepper.

Ilanna, missed you some how, I have that same milk thing going on...only it's seasonal...I drink milk in the winter but never the summer, I wonder why?

CROCKPOT PORK CHOPS

8 pork chops (1/2" thick)
Salt & pepper
2 onions, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 lg. green pepper, cut in strips
1/4 c. water
1/2 c. catsup
2 tbsp. vinegar
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp. brown sugar

Place all ingredients in a crockpot and cook on low for 6 hours. Good for a busy day.

This is pretty good for crockpot fare...I added wine and soy sauce.
