TOTALLY GEEKED!

Heck, I'm to the age were I don't give a damn what I eat. It all goes in and down. Then right to my hips.

I do know I cook foods my mom never heard of back in her day. Like taco's and pizza.

And, I have never liked seafood.

I use to not be able to have any of my food touch. My mom indulged this by serving my food in a bunch of small bowls and ramekins. I would eat each thing separately. I had to finish one at a time. It wasn't until I got to college that this behavior stopped.

 My Dad & his sister were both like this.  Not the extreme of it being in separate dishes but not touching on the plate & eating one thing at a time.  My Dad always ate his least favorite first & saved his favorite for last.

I generally like to mix them together on a forkful.  Like a bite of meat & potatoes & gravy on a forkful together.

 I still am like that. I only put one item on my plate at a time until I finish it. If gravy touches something it doesn't "go" with (besides stuffing and meat) I won't eat that part. Gross. 

But yeah, I never had separate dishes or anything. I just put one item on my plate at a time.

DH likes to make spaghetti & meat sauce, but he mixes it all together. I like my pasta separate, with sauce on top.

He also crushes saltines in tomato soup, which makes me gag.

 You should see him eat a hamburger (at home).

No bun, just tons of relish & olives on top...

I tend to eat the same types of food and am not an adventurous eater.  My food preferences have not really changed much.  I like a lot of sweet-sour food (like orange or lemon chicken), and love foods cooked with soy sauce.  I do not eat a lot of red meat, mostly chicken.  I like to eat veggies, but usually in tossed salad form (a 2-lb bag at Sam's Club is only $2.89).  Other kinds of veggies are quite expensive at the market.   Once in awhile I will crave bread, but a 1.5-lb loaf will go bad before I can finish it all.  I love orange juice, but it is rather pricy (even at Costco or Sam's, it is close to $7.00 a gallon).  I get these cravings for certain foods, and once I have it, I can go quite awhile without eating it again.  My diet depends on how much money I have to spend on groceries, which is not much ($60-80 a month), so I do not have much wiggle room.  I do, however, get really tired of eating ramen, and I usually put various sauces in it to perk up the taste. 

What I have found is that I eat a lot less now than I used to.  I get full very quickly, and sometimes I am just not hungry so I don't eat.  This upsets my MD, as at my last visit in January, I had lost 5 lbs.  Three meals a day is rare.  Two meals a day and a few snacks is more like it.  I have to eat something for breakfast so I can take my medication.  I have to eat lunch Monday through Friday at work to "keep up appearances".  Dinner is optional.   I find that I do need to snack during the day because I have blood sugar issues. 

Gone are the days of eating at a buffet.  I would just be wasting my money.

 Have you ever though of going to a food pantry to supplement your groceries?  There are many churches that would be helpful.
