Kraut and Weenies?

Now that I am well past my morning sickness, I have noticed some strange foods appealing to my palate. This is not to say that I have been eating alot; so far I've still not gained any weight. At least I am still not losing weight! Pregnant women are supposed to eat weird things, right?

Here are some of my latest cravings:

• Oranges: I eat them constantly! Jackson has become a master and quickly peeling them for me and we all enjoy them. If I have to drink juice instead, I prefer Tropicana to Minute Maid.
• Water: I can't seem to get enough of this either. This is a positive thing! I hope it continues.
• Caramel, pickles, and cheddar cheese. This was just a one time craving!
• Pickles, cheetos, and fudge. Another one time craving.

My latest strange entrée came today. Let me preface this by saying I hated kraut and weenies growing up. Gross. Today, though, I went to lunch with a few ladies from work (students come back tomorrow). We decided to go to Kathy's, a local eatery that offers real home cooking. When you go to Kathy's you typically pick a meat and two vegetables. The meat options today were fried chicken (which they do a great job with), roast (I think), and kraut and weenies. I felt sure I was going to only get vegetables, or maybe the fried chicken. As I stood there looking at my choices I felt a nagging desire for the kraut. I went for it! It went famously with my mashed potatoes and green beans. Looking back I just don't know if I would do it again, but it satisfied a craving at the time. Who knows what food tomorrow might bring!
