Stuffing.

Every Thanksgiving I eat stuffing and remember:

1. This stuff is great
2. There is nothing stopping me from making this year round

and then i immediately forget

Perhaps a bit of a tangent: I'm pegnant and have been craving something all day but couldn't work out what I wanted. I tried pico de gallo, bacon, mango. No luck. Eventually I realised: it was tap water with ice. That's all I've wanted all day

Fruits. I don't have the habit of eating any fruit. It's super unhealthy and when I do remember to buy fruit when grocery shopping, I am always surprised how good it tastes, only to forget about it for a couple more months...

Pulled pork. And then I wonder why I don't do it more often, and then remember that I prefer homemade one, and then I realise :::: spoiler ain't nobody got time for that :(

Brie. I never buy it on my own free will, but I am an absolute goblin when I see it at a party

Cottage cheese. It just looks wrong, and there’s all different qualities of it like - no, I don’t want any . . . Oh well I’ll just have a small, tiny bite. Mmh. Not bad. Probably just a little salt here and . . Mmh. Mm hmm. Yeah. Oh. Oh! now I get the whole ‘cottage cheese’ thing . . Ooh pineapple you say . . Oh man okay yes. Yes, absolutely this is awesome. Must remember to get some more next time.

(Spoiler: does not remember to get more next time.)

Indian food mostly, but only because the best places are a drive away.

Sweet potatoes. So yummy, just baked with butter and salt. I'm not sure why we don't have them as a side more often.

Green olives. None of my cooking use them as an ingredient, so once in a blue moon I remember that I like them, so I eat an entire jar with a toothpick.

So there's this amazing Chinese deli in San Francisco. We eat there like twice a year and every time we say we need to eat there more. It's not like we forget, it's just that we're busy. They were our main course Thursday. And then leftovers until yesterday. Godsdamn amazing char siu pork. Best I've ever had. I gotta order their bacon and their ribs next time.

Falafel

I don't strictly forget about them, but I never think to buy them myself. Brussels sprouts.

I love egg nog, looked into how to make it. It's takes over an hour to make, so definitely won't get it out of season

Just this year I would say:

• salmon steak
• unagi (vacuum sealed and frozen)
• potato salad
• dace with salted black bean (and canned fish in general)
• banh mi
• sweet and sour pork
• deli cuts from the deli counter of the grocery store (been getting boar's head chipotle chicken breast)
• roasted peanuts (honey, spicy or Japanese style)
• melona

Idk what it's called but my wife makes this chicken and pasta that uses parm garlic sauce and its 10/10. I know my issue is we make it then I over eat it which results in me hating it for a while and then the cycle repeats

Unfrosted Blueberry pop tarts

Red cabbage!

Eggnog. Probably best for my health that it's only readily available for a few weeks of the year. We make our own but still, we don't do that but til we're reminded it's eggnog season.

Spinach puffs. 20 minutes in the oven for a quick and dirty not unhealthy meal. It’s delicious. It’s filling. It’s relatively cheap…. And for some reason I only make it once a month despite having some laying around in my freezer pretty much at all times.

@IonAddis honeydew melon.
