<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/FONT>Food has had its way with me lately. <\/font>Each day it seems as if I have a taste for something that sometimes I can\u2019t put my finger on and other times I can\u2019t put enough of my fingers on. <\/font>Last week I had dairy-riddled cake that was a brief moment in heaven as I ate it. <\/font>I ogled a bottle of cream-based Amarula liqueur in the grocery store a day or two later. I followed this by throwing EVERY restriction to the wind by having a large caf\u00e9 mocha with whole milk and whipped cream yesterday. <\/font>Dairy is my biggest avoidance but yesterday I took shelter in fatty dairy as if a storm were raging and it was my salvation. <\/font><\/p>\n <\/FONT><\/FONT><\/FONT>This has even extended to cooking. <\/font>Sunday, I went in the kitchen and experimented\/cooked. <\/font>The result: chicken baked <\/font>with sweet potatoes and onions with a side of cabbage saut\u00e9ed with apples and ginger. <\/font>Yesterday I made tuna with olives, artichoke hearts, scallions and basil. <\/font>What makes it worse is that I\u2019m a picky eater. <\/font>So I\u2019m not craving generic things, I\u2019m craving specific flavors and textures (thus the tuna with all the added flavors). Yesterday<\/font>, I wanted a fresh slice of cake. <\/font>Not pie. <\/font>Not a cookie. <\/font>Just a slice of cake that was baked within the past two days. <\/p>\n <\/FONT><\/FONT><\/FONT>Even at this hour, I am thinking of food. <\/font>I don\u2019t go through periods like this often but I will definitely be happy when this period is over.<\/p>\n <\/font><\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Food has had its way with me lately.
