In the past week, alone, I can count about 3 food items I saw on my news feed that resulted in me saying, "Oh, I want that... now." Usually, if I can't satisfy the craving, it goes away in a short amount of time. Now, however, it's not like that... I guess these hormones are very decisive, and nothing slides!
For example, the other night, peas spontaneously popped in my head, and I wanted it... badly. We didn't have any, so I grabbed a can of vegetable beef soup that had about a handful of peas in it. I thought it was enough to do the trick... until I devoured 2 whole cans of lightly seasoned peas within the next couple of days.
Today, I saw banh xeo (Vietnamese savory/sizzling crepe) on my news feed, and you guessed it... I wanted it! Lucky for me, An was already out at the Asian market, so he was able to pick some up for me. However, I can't say it was as satisfying as the peas. Sometimes, these cravings can be deceitful... or maybe they're just extremely specific. Unfortunately, I took a couple bites, and I was done. *shrugs* I guess you can never compare anything to grandma's cooking! Next time I crave something Asian, I'll just go back to Facebook to find something with little variation possibilities! ;)
