UJ: vegetarian confession....

So, I have been a vegetarian for a few years now...and for the most part, I don't miss meat. I enjoy the food I eat and most of the time, just the smell of meat makes me cringe. Like the smell of BBQ...ewww....couldn't think of anything worse.

But...every once in a while, I will want something that is meat related. It is never anything fancy, but I will get a little craving. Now mind you...I don't eat meat, but sometimes I will get little cravings and wish that I could.

So...today I was running some errands. And I went to the grocery store and bought some yummy pasta and then I headed to another part of town. I parked in the Blockbuster parking lot to return a video...and right next to it, there was a KFC. Usually the smell of the fried chicken is not attractive at all, but today....mmm...it smelled good. I don't know why.....but something in me wanted some chicken. I didn't eat it...and I can justify it that it was 2:30pm and i hadn't eaten yet today, so my stomach and brain just wanted any kind of food, etc...

I have had these craving before...and it is always for some trashy fast food king of thing. Like...the 3/4 pounder with cheese from McDonalds. Some days....if I see a commercial, I will really want one.

So...today my vegetarian self was craving KFC....ick....boggles the mind!
