New neighbors finally moved in

August 2, 2008 by Tricia

Well our new neighbors, the one that bought the house from our Karaoke neighbors and officially took ownership of the home sometime in May finally moved into their home last week.

They must have rented a small moving van, but I think that wasn’t enough as I saw several of their friends vans and cars loaded with moving boxes after their moving van was gone.

They still aren’t finished their renovations though. They currently have no ceiling in their living room, dining room and kitchen! They are waiting for their contractor to come and get the work done. It will be nice when it’s done though because they are putting pot lights in the ceiling. It will have a very nice modern look. Chris and I feel bad that their renovations are finished because it was us that suggested that they tear out their ceiling! Oh well … it will look nice when it’s done.

One of our other neighbors moved out of her house about two weeks ago and we’ve seen some people going inside the house a few times in the last day or two, so maybe the new people are about to move into that house soon too. Maybe they’ll be like T and C next door and renovate first before they move in.

Last Tuesday when T and C officially moved into their house Chris and I dropped by and gave them a box of deserts from a local bakery as a house warming gift. They were taking a break when we visited so we ended up talking with them for at least an hour. We both really like our new neighbors. Hopefully we’ll become friends as time goes by.

Change of heart: I suddenly like peanut butter after hating it all my life

August 1, 2008 by Tricia

It’s four in the morning? What am I still doing up?

If I was asleep I wouldn’t have just had a snack disaster! Well … it was a disaster for my taste buds at the very least.

I’ve hated peanut butter all my life. I’ve even written posts about how much I hate peanut butter, but much to my surprise, about two months ago I suddenly got a craving for peanut butter. Why … I’m not sure. No, I’m not pregnant, but I did wonder if I was when these strange yearnings to eat peanut butter started.

The only thing I’ll eat peanut butter on is soda crackers. You know those little crackers you buy to crumble into your soup? The thought of eating a peanut butter cookie or peanut butter or just about anything with peanut butter still disgusts me … but I’ll eat it on crackers it seems.

Usually when I buy a box of soda crackers I get the unsalted kind. We usually only use them in soup. My husbands favorite soup is Chicken noodle and mine is Vegetable and both are way too high in sodium (well unless I make a homemade soup that is) so why add even more salt by using salted crackers.

We ran out of crackers last week and on Sunday when we were grocery shopping the store only had salted crackers. I decided to buy them just in case my peanut butter craving hit again.

Big Mistake!

It tastes horrible! I know because I just had a snack and ughh … that was gross! If I had spread peanut butter on salted soda crackers when I first had my peanut butter craving two month ago my desire to eat peanut butter would have ended right then and there. Absolutely disgusting I tell ‘ya.

Isn’t that weird though? I suddenly got a craving to eat a food that I’ve avoided and hated my whole life for no apparent reason.

My craving really startled my husband. He can still remember me telling him to get away from me or to go and brush his teeth after he’d eaten peanut butter just because I couldn’t stand the smell of it on his breath, so imagine his surprise when I wanted to buy a big jar of the stuff?

Perhaps using peanut butter on my puppies toys (as a treat and to keep her occupied and out of my hair for a while) might have helped trigger this craving?

Have you ever had a sudden change in taste? Craved a food that you hated? If so, what was it?
