Oh Helene, I feel your pain! Whenever there is cheese in the house, it

calls me like a magnet. I get serious cheese cravings.

Wow...that whole thought process is utterly foreign to me! I scrape

cheese off of everything except pizzas, won't order anything with a

creamy or Alfredo sauce for fear that it contains cheese, gag when I

think of mac and cheese, and actually want to throw up after one bite

of cheesecake.

Am I weird?

Of course you're not weird! You're just you. :-) (And that's a good thing)

Me too I was doing really well, hadn't had real cheese in the

house in years. But then when we thought my dad was coming to live

with us instead of going to the hospital, we needed high cal foods

he would eat: cheese and nuts are his favorite. Well he ended up

going to the hospital and we had all this food in the house

that " had " to be eaten. Gee, couldn't throw it away or just let

hubby eat it! Now I do have it on free day, big thick slices of

sharp cheddar cheese, cashews, grape tomatoes and nectarines. Don't

know what that particular combo works for me, but it is heaven!
