Yesterday after eating at Seoul Garden Shelby haaad to have some 'nana pudding. We looked up a few places and finally found that Papadeaux's had some for take out. We made the call and zig-zagged our way through Houston traffic to pick up the goods and headed home. To say the least, it was yummy and I have a happy wife, which is all that matters.
Today we had been planning to eat some steaks that have been marinating overnight and some left over veggies in the fridge, but to my luck Shelby suggests that we eat chinese. I of course had no problem to this because it's not too often that both of us are down for some good chinese/oriental food. As we're heading out to the car though Shelby all of a sudden says, "Let's go to Red Robin." - - "Hmm," I think to myself - why and what could have made her change her mind that quickly? It must be the cravings.
So that lead me to think and look around to what exactly causes cravings. After a few quick google queries I learned or say I didn't learn what actually causes cravings. It's one of those topics that people spend a lifetime trying to research and understand and by default the Ph.D. that has more publishings and seniority than the others is accepted as fact. Basically is seems it boils down to hormones (the classic answer) and a "wisdom theory." This theory postulates that the body, in all it's infinite wisdom and glory has developed a way to signal the mind to desire certain nutrients that it's needing. Like a craving for ice cream, to properly ensure sufficient calcium intake is being established. Or fruit, when more Vitamin C is needed. Other ideas come from the side that the baby is the root of all the cravings, and that he/she is responsible for those midnight runs to McDonalds, (or making homemade sugar cookies at midnight).
Anyways, it's been interesting to observe all of this and just wonder how it all works. I'm always excited to learn new things about Shelby with her goofy cravings. I guess that's just what comes with being a husband.
