Day 19: Comfort food.

I have a problem.

I have a lot of comfort foods..

There are some foods that invoke memories..

Like my Mom's meatloaf..

Dad's Shepherd's pie..

Pinto Beans and Cornbread

Poutine (it's this)

Foods that are so bad for me it's delicious

Hamburgers

FRENCH FRIES

Poutines

Foods that I craved when I was pregnant.

Apple Pie.

Poutines.

Foods you want when you are sick..

Chicken Soup..

Beef Stew..

and you guessed it

Poutine..

Comfort food is warm and hearty..

It makes whatever negative emotion you feel fade..

at least for that moment you are savoring the taste of that food..

Whatever you are going through..

Comfort food

reminds you of someone or someplace you love..

It reminds you of home

This is one of my favorite verses

It's kind of like Comfort food for the soul..

(someone should title a book that.. oh wait.. Chicken Soup for the Soul.. darn)

Actually, I don’t have a sense of needing anything personally. I’ve learned by now to be quite content whatever my circumstances. I’m just as happy with little as with much, with much as with little. I’ve found the recipe for being happy whether full or hungry, hands full or hands empty. Whatever I have, wherever I am, I can make it through anything in the One who makes me who I am.

Philippians 4:11-13

(the message)

True motive

We went to Old Orchard Beach last weekend..

I would like to tell you the sole reason was to spend time with my lovely fam,

I would like to tell you that,

But lets be honest..

It had to do with the deliciousness that I am holding in the picture..

A poutine..

My friend told me that they had them there..

I may have mentioned it to Court..

And voila

because I have the best husband..

we took and hour and 15 minute ride for a pregnancy craving.

( Court, this is starting to make up for the time you didn't drive 7 hours to Rochester to get me a garbage plate during my first pregnancy)

(key word starting)

The weirdest thing..

I had a Baby Hercules appointment today..

When the Dr told me how much weight I gained since
my last visit..

I was shocked..

I will not post my weight here because..

lets just be honest..

I don't want to..

Court and I were perplexed..

We couldn't figure out how come I was gaining so much...

so quickly..

Court was also very gracious and insist I was underweight
before I got pregnant..

and now my body is just being normal..

love him..

But still I was shocked..

Then I stumbled across this photo of me on facebook..

eating an ice cream sandwich..

and looking about 12 months pregnant..

Something started to click..

As I started typing this post

I polished off a Swiss cake roll..

something else clicked..

I tried to clear my thoughts of

what I will eat for dinner..

How I want a nutter butter..

a chocolate milkshake..

Pizza with bacon..

Actually anything with bacon..

and the finally click occurred..

It all made sense..

I am actually a little embarrassed that I didn't see it
before..

The Dr's scale is wrong..

Duh..

That is the only possible reason..

Whew

glad that mystery is solved..

I think I will go have a congratulatory

Swiss cake roll.

Or Bacon..
