Where’s the JOC?

Jump to Comments

By now you think I’m one of those one-and-done bloggers who is very excited about his or her project for about a week, but then it flames out only to be lost in cyber space.  Nine times out of 10 you would be right — but, I have a very good reason for my recent kitchen avoidance.

Now, nine weeks pregnant, I don’t want to cook.  Some times I don’t even want to eat — imagine that — and when I do eat it has been confined to eggs, spaghetti (with added veggies), cheese and Golden Grahams®.  Today I expanded my menu to include microwave popcorn — which, by the way was absolutely delicious.

None of these fine foods, however, lend themselves to the soups section of the JOC.  They really don’t lend themselves to any section of the JOC, except maybe the how-to-create-a-cheese-plate chapter.  Or the make-your-own-pasta chapter — but I ask you, who has the patience for that?!

And while this might sounds like a convenient excuse, I am assured by every pregnancy book and Web site available that the food aversions are replaced by cravings in the coming weeks.  That can only mean one thing … I’ll be back in the kitchen messing things up and not following recipes properly in no time.
