Food cravings
I have a yearning for a piece of American Cherry Pie.
American choc chip cookies, chocolate (and other flavour) muffins, though we can buy the latter in Carrefour they aren´t a good as following an American recipe. Am I punishing myself, I should say so!
Bit it´s the pies. A Patriotic Pie recipe I found on the web and baked for the family just before coming to Spain, the Peach Pie – extremely delicious. I no longer have access to these recipes (deleted the link in error) the deep dish apple pie by an American lady who could trace her roots back to “the old country”. Blueberry pie too! This is absolute agony as I have lost all but the cherry pie recipe, though I could search online and find a replacement, will they be as good? Can´t find my breakfast muffins either, yet another link deleted. I do this every so often, thinking “won´t use that again”, then realise what I have done when I get “the craving”.
Amazing, last week I didn´t want muffins or pies, just chocky buns, this week I do.
We did have a hot dog yesterday, a rare treat, with some American mustard, as good as the French Dijon in its own way. I just fancy another one, but am only allowed this treat very very occasionally. Today is all things American are GOOD, tomorrow it will probably be Yorkshire treats, then Italian. I get cravings you see, strong cravings that spoil my healthy eating plans. And today … it is fruit pies and hot dogs! Can´t have either, the pie cos I don´t have an oven.
