PMS: Tell it Like It Is. Your cravings, Babe (Part 2)

[lilsouthernhottie]

too much info, but.....

I'm taking seasonale (4 periods per year) and it isn't working very well.  Apparently I am getting my period like every 2-3 weeks now.

FYI on the TMI... Same thing happened to me. Evens out after a bit.

[MelissaH]

Bag of pretzels, with salt. Jar of Nutella. Can of Vanilla Coke Zero. Bottle of Advil. For breakfast.

For dinner: A batch of oven fries. IOW, I ate three Yukon Gold potatoes all on my lonesome.

Salt, starch and grease...

[jess mebane]

chicken liver curry, like an itch on my foot.

[petite tête de chou]

A whole can of sliced beets (not pickled) sprinkled with blue cheese and sunflower seeds. And a glass of diet soda with a shot of Chivas. I need a long nap.

edited to add I also cracked open a can of teriyaki oysters (Perfect Menstrual Seafood) and layered the last slices of beets with said oysters on Ryvita. *now* I need a nap.

Beef rendang. With rice. More beef than anything else, actually.

But at least this *is* explainable, right?

[hummingbirdkiss]

fried won ton skins dipped in whipped cream flavored with vanilla cinnamon and sugar

[LindsayAnn]

Frozen watermelon....So cook - I love it non-frozen (standard), but thought a while back to freeze some. Yum - the texture of watermelon so so great for freezing with the water-filled texture...

Also - cheese - lots and lots of cheese.

today I have eaten blue cheese, Brie, Raw milk white cheddar, about 5 different varieties of goat (two of them aged), and provolone... What can I say I love my cheese.

Oh - almost forgot - corned beef and salami. Yum

[Lilija]

Cheese popcorn. The oranger the better.

Cherry hard candy. I've been eating cherry hard candies, for a week, before I thought to eat a cherry Jolly Rancher. It is THE perfect, the epitome of all fake-cherry flavors, the absolute realization of that craving, as soon as it began to dissolve on my tounge, I just about saw God.

yesterday -

hot and sour soup with extra rice wine vinegar....

and a whopper junior heavy on the pickles, discard the bottom of the bun and smear with ketchup.

sigh. when will it end?!

dang, lilija....now i want that cheesy popcorn and a mug of hot cocoa

[Lilija]

That's the single best way to eat it. I know it's July, and all, but I know what I'm having for breakfast, tomorrow...

[petite tête de chou]

Even if I happily chow the fatty-too-happy blue and goat cheeses, sweet butter-smeared breads, calf livers, salmon bellies, a half dozen Dungeness crabs, oysters and a half-case of Oregon wines..in a hemp hammock..on the coast....I'd *still* be a lady with PMS. Interesting to win...and then not.

Oh sisters, I am in trouble.

This morning I slow-baked a pound of bacon, after sprinkling it with granulated onion, garlic, and maple crunchies, until it was crisp and unctious. I sat down with the whole panful, a MUG of espresso, and warm butter milk bisquits with cream gravy.

I am now halfway through a box of Thin Mints, while watching Top Chef.

After which I plan to molest my husband.

I have it BAD.

My last bash was a large (party sized) bag and a half of salt n pepper potato chips, 3 kahlua and milks, most of a pint of haagen dazs dulce de leche, a large plate of pasta with butter, parmesan and black pepper - and that was just after work. I refuse to describe what I ate during the day. I didnt stop til I got too sleepy to keep eating, an hour past my usual bedtime.

[MomOfLittleFoodies]

My last round of PMS involved BLTs from a local dive... tomato, applewood smoked bacon, half an avocado, mayo and lettuce on a nice crusty roll. Served with fresh cut french fries. Heaven on a bun.

[SheenaGreena]

lets see....it was last week so I decided to roast a nice chicken. I brined it and rubbed it with lots and lots of plugra butter, salt, garlic, and thyme, and put a lot of that mixture under the skin as well. I made sure to add tons of yukon potatoes next to the chicken so that they would roast in the fat. Oh my god was my chicken delicious. I kid you not, I took the entire chicken and ate it in bed ): Well I didn't eat the whole chicken, but who eats a whole chicken (un cut) in bed? I also made sure to save as much chicken fat as possible so I could drizzle it on some arugula......omg.

Oh and on some other foodie webpage I was reading, someone mentioned dipping pork rinds in siracha. I will definitely try that again in 28 days or so

what i am craving is red meat but it's too late for me to eat.

tomorrow ......

edit to add - i want that crispy chicken skin.

Miso soup with no tofu in it, but lots of green onions sliced in. Mmmm.

[jgarner53]

I just want sugar. Cookies, cakes, ice cream, and because it's the season, candy corn by the huge, teeth-aching handful. Topped off with some Coke Zero, and if I had it, red vines.

Good lord, how is it I'm not reeling from diabetes?

I wish my PMS cravings were so virtuous ....

I get serious salt cravings. Parmesan fricos. Grilled cheese. (Or, if there's no bread, a chunk of melted cheese will do just fine!) French fries. Fried chicken with Sriracha or Marie Sharp's.

Sometimes, for variety, I throw in a salty-sweet combo. Salty caramel. Chocolate-dipped pretzels. Blue cheese with fruit chutney on crackers. But the salt must remain present.

I think my most unreal PMS-driven indulgence has been the gribenes from an ENTIRE duck. Eaten in 1 night. Oy.

ETA: Oh yes, and I certainly didn't dilute the cracklins' by sprinkling them on salad or something equally healthy. Straight up.

Bad? Gracious lady, I'd say you've got it beautiful. I certainly intend to try bacon done that way some time soon, and I may do it in that quantity, too. I wouldn't surrender a blood sample for a cholesterol count for a while...but beyond that minor quibble, I think this sounds like heaven, right down to Top Chef and an amiable spouse.

You go, ma'am!

[Bernaise]

juicy wedges of tortiere with siracha & ketchup combo. And then two small chicken pot pies. And right now I am fantasizing about those little mini quiches lorraine and extra cheesy. i'd settle for a dinner plate sized quiche however!

[Verjuice]

Greatest meal ever:

Kansas City New York Striploin, medium rare. Sides of Maytag bue cheese and bearnaise for smearing.

Rosti. Creamed spinach. Corn custard. All divine.

And for dessert, brie en croute with apple compote, port reduction, fried sage.

Tarte Tatin with vanilla ice cream.

Bonus: Sucking on the bone from the steak while playing Scrabble.

This is going to become a ritual, I say.
