It Grinds My Gears...

A) Cilantro in lasagna? GTFO! NO!

I finally perfected my cannoli recipe (the filling) and had 4 extras, so I brought them to my parents. When I informed my Mom, she responded with "Oh, you and I both need to diet." Oh no, I did not let that one go quietly. You do not tell me when I need to diet. There is no rule that says a bride-to-be has to diet/lose weight. Besides, if I do decide to diet, that's on me and you keep quiet. (PS, she asked me later if she could have one.... that's what I thought!)

Sorry, raging/ranting over.

My mom brought me some Smarties from her last trip to Canada. Seriously, they are taunting me.

I used to buy my youngest son Smarties to help him pass his exams. That's his favorite candy.

My pre wedding diet and exercise plan did not go well. Photoshop is a beautiful thing- not for making one look ridiculous, but for smoothing out certain areas like arms just a tiny bit.

Now dieting/exercising to be healthy and dh and I are discussing ttc in a few years- baby deserves healthy pregnancy. The health nut in my office was harping over me indulging in a soda on Tuesday. I finally glared and said " I have not slept since getting up sunday morning because my in laws just got the autopsy report for my 27 yr old BIL yesterday and ive been helping them and dh make sense of it. Please stfu and let me injest some caffeine in peace."

I am confused by those smarties. I'm used to these ones:

GTFO with cilantro lasagna. DAFAQ.

I ate about 10 smores last night. I regret nothing.

SMARTIES!!!!! I love those. The chocolately kind, not the pure sugar eeny weeny crappy things. You guys..... you guys. I went to a shower this past weekend and had awful cake. AWFUL. I couldn't finish it. I, like many others here, love cake. Love it. This was a travesty. It's "that time of the month" and I was dying for some shower-cake and nope, craving not satisfied. Also, I saw Andrew Zimmern give a talk about how he eats so many weird things. Long story short, he said, "You never know what may be your next Root Beer Float." Meaning, if you don't try something, you may miss out on the most amazing thing ever. I respect if something has ingredients you know you hate, but something totally new... I go for it.

@loveislouder, thank you. It has been rough and there are still questions/issues to be dealt with that are of no concern for my colleagues.

Side note: I am one of those folks who will have a craving, and if ignored, I will eat everything BUT that item, ultimately consuming more calories. I had a huge craving for buffalo wings today. Health nut came by, and I can honestly say I was very proud of my take out wings at my desk and sauce on my face while she looked in horror at my non organic/non natural/non healthy drummies and flappers.

(I did clean up with wet wipes, etc as soon as I finished, but damn if that wasn't satisfying)

Am I the only one who is baffled at the fact that you had ONE oreo?

I had some serious eating issues through late high school and early college and I totally know what you mean. Now that I am healthy and balanced, I can not deny myself because it only backfires. I'll eat everything but the item (generally some sort of sweet/carb) and then binge on the actual item after.

No, the devil's weed is worse. Everything tastes like fucking laundry detergent. Even a tiny amount ruins everything. It's all detergent. It even smells bad. Then people try to sneak the damn coriander seeds in - just because it's a different name does not mean it's not detergent! Yes, I seriously hate cilantro.

She made lasagna, but she put CILANTRO IN IT. CILANTRO IN LASAGNA. WHAT EVEN.

Maybe she got confused at the grocery store and thought she was buying parsley? I mean, I love cilantro (it doesn't taste like soap to me), but in LASAGNA? Aw, hell to the no. It does not go in there.

Same here and still having pretty bad binge problems. Every time I'm like good, just made a healthy choice, going to stick with that. As soon as I turn around I'm like EAT ALL THE SUGARY THIIIIIIINGS. It's a really bad uphill battle.

I thought that. I mean, who eats just one? Maybe OP meant one box. It'd be an honest mistake.

I can't believe I didn't open this post earlier.

I do nothing but stuff my face all day- doctor's orders. Fuck anyone who tries to tell me that I'm eating too much or put on too much weight. I admit I have put on 10lbs since mid May, so I should probably slow down, but I'm enjoying every second of unrestricted eating.
