Dreams and Food

Okay, last night was awesome and I will definitely post more after I'm out of work, but for now...

Last night I had a weird dream that I was eating plain yogurt with bananas. I loved it. I was just eating it all up and loving every bite. I thought this was peculiar because in real life I usually eat a snack of one cup of plain yogurt with 17 grapes in it. Why grapes? Because it's the only way I can eat plain yogurt.

Usually plain yogurt's bitterness grosses me out and the only way it tastes remotely appealing is if I balance it off with the sweetness of grapes. The two flavors just work and I can get the benefits of yogurt without the added sugar. Only just barely, though. I tried plain yogurt with bananas once before but the bananas were too mild. I swallowed that snack down very reluctantly and was glad to have finished.

So tonight I just ate my usual yogurt snack and the yogurt didn't bother me at all. The usual distaste for the bitter flavor didn't strike me at all, which I also found peculiar. All I can figure is that my body decided it wanted or needed something in the yogurt so it used my dreams to tell me to start eating it again. It had been a few days since I last had this snack. Curiouser and curiouser...

Have you tried eating the plain yogurt with cut up cucumbers, finely minced onions, a bit of garlic and salt and pepper? (ie: tziki?) I love it this way, when my mind's not trying to tell me yogurt should be sweet.

Also, a sprinkling of sugar-free jello (Assuming you're not trying to cut out aspartame) is very cool. You only need maybe 1/4 teaspoon or so to 1 cup of plain yogurt.

Ooooh, those ideas sound good! I shall have to try those. Thanks!

One of my other snacks, usually my last "meal" of the day, is one cup of sugar free jello with a dallop of whipped cream and a serving of fruit, so jello is definitely a possibility. It's also considered a free food, so I don't have to count it as an exchange!
