There's a half of a Sara Lee cheesecake in the fridge that's been screaming my name all day. (May my NY relatives forgive me for finding this tempting...)

I usually don't get a 'hankerin' for sweets....but I go get cravings for meat. Any meat. I'm being really bad tonight and cooking (then BBQing) beef ribs. Yum yum.
Two things we haven't been able to enjoy,locally, is a good pizza (like Numero Uno, Angelo's, or even Round Table Pizza) which my husband gets a 'hankerin' for weekly. And we miss Tony Roma's for their BBQd beef ribs. The restaurants here only serve pork ribs.

Jalapeno bagels, I'll get 'a hankerin' for those frequently. One of the worst things about living here in the south I am is not being able to get the high quality fresh bagels and scones like I could in the north. A biscuit just doesn't satisfy like a fresh bagel.

LindaK: I know just what you mean! I was helpless to resist the lure of a package of marinated & peppered beef strips this past weekend! I cut the strips in half (they were about 10 inches long each, & 2 inches thick) and over the three days I would pop a couple of strips into my George Foreman cooker for 2 or 3 minutes--then devour them!  Didn't even fix anything else, the meat was enough.
I'm starting another craving just talking about it...

I was helpless.....boy can I identify with that. One of our friends here is the same way you and I are in our love of meat. His doctor is only allowing him to eat red meat once a week, for one meal and only 4 ozs. Think he wants it more now than he did before. Poor guy. We tease him that we've caught him on camera (at the grocery store) 'fondling' the prime rib roasts.  He says he's just remembering 'when'.

Bunnicula,
You may want to do what you can to find details of a report cited by Dr. Dean Edell which has found that middle aged people with low cholestoral counts (he specified "under 200" are more likely to die sooner than people with high counts who have attained those ages.
He noted that the findings flew in the face of years of previous research and recommended that listeners ask their doctors about their interpretation of the report.
He was serious, and so am I in telling you about this.

Fava beans? No. But there's nothing wrong with a fine Chianti, I'm sure.
I prefer a good glass of Johannasberg Reisling myself. Or white zin will do nicely.
Come on Spaz....share with us what you get an occassional 'hankerin' for.

I eat 3 or 4 eggs every morning as that is a major crave for me. But no milk and little other dairy stuff. And we eat red meat almost every other day but my cholesterol is low. Drives my Doctor batty as he has a strict diet takes drugs exercises like a mad man and can't get his as low as mine.
One thing they found is that morbidity does not decrease when you use these cholesterol lowering drugs - you have fewer heart attacks but deaths from other causes increase.

Hey Hep, a donut, bagels, how about a plate of spaghetti, then when you are all carbo loaded you can run to Mass and we'll do Brimfield.
I'm just hoping the weather holds, since I am not going to be selling there this time I have to have good weather or NO GO! I've done my time with floods, hi winds, freezing temps (and never in season)
Sorry to hear you won't be there this time Spaz...I wonder if Godzilla (Barry) he must be there by now! I hope he gets some great clock or watches!
Jumpin brought the Heinie...no chianti we are saved!!

Linda - Suicide and an increase in deaths from accident and injury from other people.
Apparently there are changes that effect one mentally to increase risky behavior.
That metabolic disease that makes the muscles waste away is not statistically significant. It is just so rare from any other cause it was easy to tie it to use of multiple cholesterol lowering drugs. It only kills you if the breakdown is so severe it overloads the kidneys. I don't understand how a person could ignore the pain level that they would be experiencing in the muscles if that were so.

Jodi got a look at the script and bowed out, explaining she had "another commitment." Smart woman. Hannibal remains one of the worst novels I've ever read.
I haven't seen the movie yet, but from what I understand it deviates sharply from the novel, particularly the ending.

I want chocolate or M & M's. Large quantities, right now. Very badly.
There's none in the house, but now I can't get it out of my mind, thanks Hep!

Real popcorn with a little hot real butter on it and a little salt.
And a real total body massage including my hands and feet while I'm listening to the latest Enya cd and have some nice lavender candles burning!

A huge bag of Wise potato chips. The greasier the better.
But, my gall bladder says no no!

Thanks gravid - Suicide and risky behavior? Here I thought they were only concerned with whether or not one's liver count was increasing. I'll have to ask him about this.
Our doctor's a trim young man who firmly believes that people who tend to have high triglycerides and high cholesterol have inherited it. He says he could eat a pound of bacon every day and his cholesterol count would never go above 100.
Guess the movie Hannibal Lechter
doesn't make reference to his cholesterol count though.

Hmm, speaking of bacon--yes! Potato chips and crisp fried bacon and then---
think about it--a stupendous fresh salad from the yard or grocery store. It's crunchy munchy--such varied tastes and textures. And with a lemon and olive oil.Now I have myself salivating!!
Forget the chips, I'll opt for a salad and I mean it! Honest.
And my gall bladder says, Thank you, Thanks !
And it is the time of the year to think Pesto!! The basil is ready for cultivating and fresh pesto is bound for the freezer.
What a delight to pull out a container in January and have this summers sweet taste on pasta! Hmmm--forget grease and think.
Now I know why I don't do potato chips and bacon anymore, besides from my finniky gall bladder, fresh tastes best!!
