Cravings

They (whomever "they" may be) seem to be able to come up with all kinds of solutions to hunger, but why not "cure" my cravings? This is where I really have a problem. Or boredom. I know a lot of people tend to eat out of boredom, and I confess that I seem to have that problem myself.
If I am out and about and BUSY, I don't even think about food. But plop me down in my house with nothing to do and I immediately start thinking about food. The funny thing is that I tend to think of how NOTHING sounds appealing. Stranger still, it then becomes a quest to find something "good" that will satisfy this driving need that I have. Usually this starts at the refrigerator. Then it moves on to the pantry. Possibly then to the freezer. If my fave ice cream is in there the search may be over. I try NOT to keep ice cream for this reason. It goes very quickly. Goes.....straight to my butt, that is. So no ice cream... open the fridge (something may have materialized since I last looked). And back to the pantry. This cycle could go for a while.
Tonight I opened a jar of manzanilla olives thinking the salty tang might cure the desire. Nope.
I merely determined that the pimentos were too soft. I thought this strange, as I usually prefer my veggies on the softer side. Which made me think of the crisp asparagus I recently enjoyed at my brother-in-law's restaurant. I then thought of the zucchini in the fridge and decided not to cook it, but to slice it and bag it in individual baggies with some onions for an easy veggie for meals. After slicing the onions I washed my hands but decided they were still onion-y and wanted to try a trick I had read about. So I opened the bag of lemons we recently purchased and discovered that 3 of them were already moldy. GROSS!!! And so not fair! I just bought the frickin' things. So I dumped the gross ones, got out the Veggie Wash and cleaned and dried the others. Then I sliced one in half and rubbed it on my palms to get the onion smell off. It worked! Yippee! Then, since I was preparing things ahead of time for future meals, I decided to boil some eggs. The eggs are boiling and I made a cup of tea. The good news is I stopped looking for something to eat (even though I wasn't hungry to begin with). ADHD is so much fun.
