I also crave a dessert called Baby Huey (or Bambino Huey) -- indescribable really, but some sort of gooey something that melts in your mouth. On the savory side, in Boerne and Gruene you can get Fickle Pickles -- sweet, zesty, and crunchy. Save the juice for use as a marinade. I also love to fix roasted red peppers (just add olive oil) and roasted sliced cauliflower (just add pepper). My grandmother was a fantastic cook and I loved her applesauce stack cake.

Then I roast them at 400 degrees for around 15 minutes (you've got to keep an eye on them). So good! <BR/><BR/>But be sure to get a small can of beans. I once made a whole can and proceeded to eat the whole can. Only after did I look at the calorie info and noticed that an entire can of beans had about as many calories as a Big Mac.Michelle@Life with Threehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02770928322306445408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14774195.post-76329335626480789582008-06-11T10:04:00.000-05:002008-06-11T10:04:00.000-05:00Once a month, I MUST have a Runza (local fast food...Once a month, I MUST have a Runza (local fast food chain) cheeseburger with mustard and pickles and LARGE french fries, extra salt and dipped in more mustard (or mayo on some months); an XL Mountain Dew to wash it all down. <BR/><BR/>Also coffee- creamed & sweetened.<BR/><BR/>DARK chocolate<BR/><BR/>Good crusty bread & butter<BR/>Mashed potatoes w/ butter<BR/>Bacon or sausage, waffles with butter<BR/>(are you seeing a trend here?)<BR/>Steak, baked potato with... you know.<BR/><BR/>Basically the 4 PMS food groups- Grease, SALT, Chocolate and Caffeine.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing your Turkish cravings.

Why? Because I'm insatiably hungry! ALL THE TIME! What do I crave? What DON'T I crave. The hunger strikes pretty much whenever my eyes are open and I'm upright and even a few times when I'm not. Lately, I've had a ginormous hankerin' for my momma's fabulous apple pie. And of course chocolate.... lots of chocolate. And cereal with raw milk. (SO delicious.) And a burger. And pancakes. And cookies and cream ice cream. And raspberry scones with a yummy cup of coffee. Is that all? Probably not, but I'm running out of room.

For those of you whom do not know what In-n-Out is, well, the french fries are made from whole potatoes. Yep, you can watch them put them in the potato chopper thingie and then throw them into the hot oil to fry, take them out and salt them. I don't even need a burger to go with them, but usually have one with grilled chopped onions, special sauce, fresh tomato and lettuce. Mmmmm <BR/><BR/>Healthy cravings...yes, I do have them too...homemade chicken soup, especially with dumplings, or grilled chicken breast on fresh organic greens.
