Turkey Bacon

Yes, I am craving turkey bacon. I would love to have a BLT... or a Krystal burger. I know, I know, not the most nutritious things to eat. Lucky for me I can't get either in China. Isn't it funny the things your mind tells your mouth that you want and need when you're pregnant. I mean Taco Bell Taco Salad of all things... oh I would love that right now. Unfortunately I can't think of a single thing in this city that would make my mouth say "yum". Maybe I can find some avacodos at the foreign market when I go later today... then I can have quacamole and potato chips... since there aren't ever any nachos around. Can I please want something that I can actually get here!!!!

For the past 2 weeks I wondered if I'd ever eat again. For several days I didn't eat more than a roll or a small bowl of corn flakes. Being sick all day is not fun - especially when you are actually in a place with more Western food choices. We went to Hard Rock cafe and I just looked over the menu knowing I would long for most of the things I saw at any other time, but couldn't make a choice. I ended up eating about 5 nachos and calling it dinner. Matt chowed on a B-B-Q sandwich which did smell exceptionally good. If I could go there today I'd get chicken wings, onion rings, a big ole burger with jalapenos, more nachos and actually eat them all, and a great big salad!!!! Oh well. No use crying over lost delicacies.
