I'm happy to report that for two days I have been feeling pretty good, and almost normal. So good that today I ventured out to the gym for the first time in over two weeks. It was nice to get my blood flowing again.
As I mentioned before I've been craving meat like crazy since I've been pregnant, which is quite strange, because I'm very content being a vegetarian, or more accurately a pescatarian. Today I couldn't take it any more, a co-worker brought in several leftover hamburgers that they had grilled the night before, and I decided that I HAD to have one... no bun, no cheese, just a big 'ole burger on a plate... and it was good! My stomach gurgled like crazy for the two hours following, I'm sure as a result of not being used to the grease, hormones etc. that are in meat, it had been well over a year since I last had a hamburger. It was worth it though, and I'd do it all over again, in fact I may do it all over again and have a cheese burger at a cookout that we're going to this Friday night.
Since I was feeling better I decided to venture into the kitchen and attempt to cook something small after resorting to eating leftovers and canned food for days since I've been feeling ill. I had a pineapple that I had bought on sale this week, and leftover ice cream from my birthday and decided that would be the perfect dessert.
I broiled the pineapple until it started to soften and brown (about 5-10 minutes)
And then plopped a nice scoop of ice cream on top... YUM! This would be great having grilled the pineapple also, but I don't have a grill, or grill pan.
Jeremy ended up not being a big fan of this dessert, but I should have know, he's not really a fan of melted ice cream. Me on the other hand, I love melted ice cream, and will let my ice cream sit out for 10 minutes before I eat it just so that it starts to melt. My favorite desserts are usually the ones that combine a hot element with ice cream so that it melts, like brownie a la mode, bananas foster, apple pie a la mode and so on.
Do you like your ice cream melted, or frozen solid? If you've had children, what types of foods did you crave while you were pregnant?

that sounds yummm!!! I craved fresh tomatoes and fresh bananas a lot when I was pregnant (but not at the same time!)
