weird food cravings

Ever have those times when you crave something totally odd? Yesterday I was craving an apricot fried pie and today I am craving a deviled ham and miracle whip sandwich made with cheap white bread.

You people who don't know what an apricot fried pie is are obviously not from the south.

OMG !!! How in the world can you not know what an apricot fried pie is ??? The next thing you are going to tell me is that you have never had doughnuts made out of biscuits !!!

Um ... negative on the preggers ... the hubby has been snipped ... although it would be just my luck for those little buggers to grow back together now.

I've seen Paula Dean make doughnuts that way, but can't say I've ever had them! Never had fried pie before either...except if you consider the little apple pie thingys at McD's!?!

Re: weird food cravings

You silly Canadian - you don't eat ice cream and olives with biscuits. You eat them after you have already polished off a whole bag of Nacho Cheese Doritos, four slices of pepperoni pizza, and a whole tub of chocolate icing.

Ok, I've never had or heard of apricot fried pie either. But, we use to eat deviled ham when I was a kid only with mustard on white bread!

I love apricots, most anything fried, and pie!

I guess that means I would love apricot fried pie.

Can I give you my address also??

Sounds as healthy as the deep friend twinkies and deep fried oreos. I can't believe people actually eat that stuff - and they wonder why heart disease is so rampant!
