This is great, you guys!
The spicy pork rinds thing...oh, man! I went through that one back in college. I was poor, oh it was rough! But every time I'd get some extra spending cash, I'd run out and buy some of those bad boys! Whooo!
I can't stand them today, they're way too hot. And I've tried to eat Atomic Fireballs here just recently and I can't keep it in my mouth long enough to enjoy it, my eyes were watering!
But back when I first came in the forum, I was crunching on those things like they were nothing at all.
I know what you mean - I sometimes think our bodies send us signals on what is needed and our minds react to those by demanding certain foods. I saw my doctor last night in the grocery store and mentioned this to him just out of curiosity. I told him how I was craving sunflower seeds very badly. He asked if I'd been exercising as much as I used to. Yes, I have. When I exercise, I sweat...a lot. He said with the temperatures soaring like they've been, we lose a lot of our body salt through sweat. He suggested upping my take of electrolytes rather than chawing on sunflower seeds.
But that's the thing. It has to be sunflower seeds. Cracking them open. Chewing on the little seed inside. It can't be a bottle of gatorade. It can't be pickles or some salty fries. It can't be a salt-lick. It has to be sunflower seeds. No options. I have to have them. Now.
I feel the shapes of a story here somewhere...hmmm.
