I have eaten 3 very large cookies today. Lunch meeting at work- did well by only eating a small sub sandwich, no chips. But the COOKIES! No self control at all.

You don't have to ask me twice!! Oh wow!! YUM
I really wish I knew more people just so I can bake and dump my baked goods on them. *sigh* But Eid is coming and I'm totally making a HUGE peanut butter pie and totally eating a ton of it. Calories don't count in Eid, after all.
Yum! What's your favorite thing to bake? You could make some blondies & make some peanut butter cookie dough to go on top of them.
Everything!
Cookies, mostly, and blondies. 
I'm really not a big fan of most cakes (blasphemy, I know), so I almost never make cakes unless someone else is going to do most of the eating (like for family parties and such). I'm really thinking of baking the chocolate chip cookie cheesecake bars that I posted a link for yesterday along with the peanut butter pie, but I'm thinking that it might be too much--there are only two of us, after all! I REALLY want to bake it, though. Sigh.
In case you missed that link, it's this one: http://prettysimplesweet.com/chocolate-chip-cookie-cheesecake-bars/
I'm not a fan of chocolate with my cheesecake, but I am willing to give these a try.
Alright, I'll send them to you and @LBuehrle8 then... Half for you and half for her! 0 -

I remove the whole thing but have eaten bananas like that in the past. Ohh, debate!
Oy, I don't eat bananas either way! There's very few foods that I just plain won't eat, but bananas top that list - I can't stand the smell or the taste or the texture, none of it! Right now peanut butter is also on the list (the smell has been making me nauseous lately), and eggplant... plus any kind of dried fish or shrimp like used in Asian cuisines (fresh fish and shrimp are perfectly fine), and caviar. That's about it.0 -

Anyone ever make these?

Yikes. I have to admit that those would probably make me nauseous after just a few bites--imagine the crazy richness! I haven't tried them, but I remember reading a similar recipe by Ree Drummond from The Pioneer Woman Cooks and thinking that they sounded a bit too much for me.0 -

On another note, I keep hearing some weird sound coming from my kitchen and I'm not sure what it could be. I told my boyfriend our apartment must be haunted or something. It almost sounds like some water is splashing on the floor violently, but I can't find anything wrong. We recently had an ant infestation so maybe a big ant is making noise in our wall as revenge for our ant murder.
Creepy. I hope you can figure out what it is. If you do, let us know.
Back in about 2009 or 2010, we had a few months were my whole family was experiencing weird things (in different locations) that I've never been able to explain to this day. It was really weird... I felt like we were all haunted for a while too.
Had a whole post on this but it got eaten, so here's myCliffNotes:
*cue creepy music and/or men in white coats to take me away, whichever you prefer*
I don't think you are crazy. Like I said it was the weirdest thing that for a couple years my whole family was experiencing weird things. Loud bangs and tapping noises, things would move on their own etc. Nothing before or since.
A lot of different things happened but here are a couple examples:
~I had a glass candle holder that was sitting behind a couple other items on a shelf. When I got home from work one day the holder was on the floor and the glass was shattered all over the carpet. For this to happen it would have had to have been picked up and moved over the other items in front of it and slammed against the soft carpet.
~I was at work and I worked at the front desk. I heard the elevator chime as I usually did when someone came up them. I heard and saw the door handle jiggle which used to happen a lot (we had glass on the sides and then a locked wooden door). I went to the door to help let the person in but no one was there. I checked the cameras for that time and couldn't see anyone pass by any of the glass windows.
I love hearing stories like this and the others that were posted...but if they happened to me? I'd cry in a corner forever.
If you get scared easily maybe avoid this haha. I don't want to give anyone nightmares.
It was scary. The worst though was just the feeling of being watched at night. I haven't had any problems with this before or since as I said (just for a while during that time period). So people will probably think I'm crazy but I would be trying to sleep and I felt like if I opened my eyes I would see something evil sitting in front of me staring into my face so I NEVER opened my eyes when I felt like that because I didn't want to see anything.
I have tons of stories like that from growing up. TONS. As Muslims, we believe in the existence of Jinn (as I mentioned before), and many of these things are attributed to the actions of the jinn. We've had knives fly across our kitchen by themselves before, along with non-existent children's voices and running sounds, lamps moving across tables and crashing to the floor by themselves, and a whole bunch of other things.
The one you mentioned about trying to sleep has happened to me and to my sister. A friend of my mother's who is knowledgeable in the ways of the jinn told us to go into the room after dark and ask the jinn politely to please leave because the house is occupied, and my mom did that; it didn't happen again afterwards. It was weird. Also, my mom and brothers kept seeing a man out of the corner of their eye in the same house, then there would be nothing when they turned around to take a look.
There's a very old city in Oman outside of the capital region called Bahla, and it's known as the haunted city--many people who live there are afraid to leave their homes after dark because that's when the jinn are said to be most active.0 -

Raelynn has to have her banana out of the peel, or else she doesn't want to eat it. I always thought it was just her lol! And now I want a banana sandwich like I had growing up (bread, DUKES mayo, and sliced bananas). Oh, I need some more bananas! :laugh:
In the peel! I haven't had a banana and mayo sandwich in FOREVER! So yummy! Pretty sure it's a southern thing though. My mom is from SC originally but moved to IL when she married my dad. My southern cousins introduced me to it when we were visiting SC on vacation.0 -

You are NOT stupid. However, I really hope that next time you won't push yourself so hard. I remember thinking that although I was jealous of all your activity, maybe it was too much at once. I really hope you feel better soon.
Thanks. Yup, it was excessive, especially for a chronically ill person to jump into all at once. Bleh. I hope so too! 0 -

I do! My husband peels the whole thing, and I wonder why he would touch the banana part when you can just hold it by the peel and not get banana gunk on your hands. LOL0 -

Please stop being so hard on yourself. You're super great!! I don't know anything about FND but it sounds very difficult to deal with. Continued prayers for your quick recovery. & Thank goodness for Mr SusieQ taking care of you.
Shall I go park myself in a corner for twenty minutes? It's one minute per year of life, right...

While I hate bananas, I believe that's the way everyone I knows eat them, including myself when I do force myself to gag them down... Holding the whole unpeeled banana in your hands would just get you all sticky and gross--the banana peel keeps it clean and easy!0 -

Confession: That sounds gross to me. Bananas and mayo? Ew.
But then, my husband thinks the idea of bananas sliced up in a peanut butter sandwich is gross/really weird, and I grew up eating those--it's the only way I can stomach bananas, in fact.

I spent a lot of nights as a child with this fear. Ever heard of 'shadow people'? When I was a kid I saw a tall shadowy figure standing in my doorway every night. I was terrified and couldn't move. This happened in three different houses, until I was about 16. Thankfully I've never seen it since, but my brother and his girlfriend saw something similar a couple years ago in his room. It wasn't until a few years ago that I learned there are people worldwide who have seen something similar. We can't all be crazy, right? 0 -

I had the exact thoughts about getting banana gunk on your hands
Also, I grew up in South Carolina and I have never had a banana and mayo sandwich. Not only that, but it sounds disgusting to me! I already don't like mayonnaise that much, but maybe I'd like the sandwich. Who knows? I think it was Italian_Buju who mentioned eating tomato and peanut butter sandwiches. All kinds of combinations you'd never think to try out there.0 -

I don't think you are crazy. Like I said it was the weirdest thing that for a couple years my whole family was experiencing weird things. Loud bangs and tapping noises, things would move on their own etc. Nothing before or since.
A lot of different things happened but here are a couple examples:
~I had a glass candle holder that was sitting behind a couple other items on a shelf. When I got home from work one day the holder was on the floor and the glass was shattered all over the carpet. For this to happen it would have had to have been picked up and moved over the other items in front of it and slammed against the soft carpet.
~I was at work and I worked at the front desk. I heard the elevator chime as I usually did when someone came up them. I heard and saw the door handle jiggle which used to happen a lot (we had glass on the sides and then a locked wooden door). I went to the door to help let the person in but no one was there. I checked the cameras for that time and couldn't see anyone pass by any of the glass windows.
I love hearing stories like this and the others that were posted...but if they happened to me? I'd cry in a corner forever.
If you get scared easily maybe avoid this haha. I don't want to give anyone nightmares.
It was scary. The worst though was just the feeling of being watched at night. I haven't had any problems with this before or since as I said (just for a while during that time period). So people will probably think I'm crazy but I would be trying to sleep and I felt like if I opened my eyes I would see something evil sitting in front of me staring into my face so I NEVER opened my eyes when I felt like that because I didn't want to see anything.
I spent a lot of nights as a child with this fear. Ever heard of 'shadow people'? When I was a kid I saw a tall shadowy figure standing in my doorway every night. I was terrified and couldn't move. This happened in three different houses, until I was about 16. Thankfully I've never seen it since, but my brother and his girlfriend saw something similar a couple years ago in his room. It wasn't until a few years ago that I learned there are people worldwide who have seen something similar. We can't all be crazy, right?
Anything paranormal and I am all over it! I've had run ins with "spirits" (whatever term you go with) when I was younger, seeing them and communicating with them. Now I still have sightings but it's not as vivid as a child. I think the most vivid and scary memory I have is when I was 6 or so a close family friend and my babysitter passed away overnight from a stroke, no one knew until the morning. I have a very vivid memory of waking up in the middle of the night with her standing next to my bed, she reached out and pushed my hair out of my way and then poof gone. Finding out the next morning she had passed was terrifying, it took a long time for me to come terms with what happened.

I've had this disorder for the better part of three years, and living with a chronic disease long-term means you learn how to manage it well (as I'm sure @Italian_Buju can attest to) or you're doomed. I learned all the little nuances and whispers of my body and when to stop and take it easy. But after a six month respite from any sort of flares, I got overconfident and stopped paying attention.
In hindsight, as an ill person, I KNEW and still know that I'm not capable of 60 minutes of stationary bike PLUS 36 flights of stairs PLUS a one hour walk, especially not when I'm fasting, which makes me much more prone to weakness. But I did that TWO DAYS IN A ROW without even thinking about it. So this flare up is all my stupid fault, and I'm pretty mad at me. I'm also mad at my body for not being healthy, which is a common resentment I have that always comes to the fore when I get sick. Stupid body, stupid me, stupid everything.
I would give my daughter a time out for saying stupid.
Please stop being so hard on yourself. You're super great!! I don't know anything about FND but it sounds very difficult to deal with. Continued prayers for your quick recovery. & Thank goodness for Mr SusieQ taking care of you.
Shall I go park myself in a corner for twenty minutes? It's one minute per year of life, right...
My favorite website to reference when people ask about FND is the website www.fndhope.org, but it seems to be down right now. Yup, thank goodness for my husband--there's nobody more awesome than he is. Prayers are appreciated!
Well...you said stupid a lot but I think I will let you off this time with a warning. It's hard to give her a time out for that because the word is everywhere, even in the movies she watches. Believe me, she tells me everytime a character says stupid. The problem is, she calls me or my husband stupid when she's mad and I don't want her calling a person that. Hear that? You don't call yourself stupid! You are a very intelligent, very considerate and super great person!
I am going to check out that website or just google FND. Thanks!
Yay, I get off with a warning! Yup, I personally find the language that they allow in movies/shows aimed toward very young kids to be surprising--I don't think any form of derogatory language, mild or otherwise, should be taught to young children.
Actually, even the content allowed in so-called kids' movies is surprising to me. :-/ Maybe I'm just overly prudish.0 -

Most people eat their bananas like this, right?
Raelynn has to have her banana out of the peel, or else she doesn't want to eat it. I always thought it was just her lol! And now I want a banana sandwich like I had growing up (bread, DUKES mayo, and sliced bananas). Oh, I need some more bananas! :laugh:
In the peel! I haven't had a banana and mayo sandwich in FOREVER! So yummy! Pretty sure it's a southern thing though. My mom is from SC originally but moved to IL when she married my dad. My southern cousins introduced me to it when we were visiting SC on vacation.
Yay! I'm not the only one lol! My Mama Tucker used to make them for me all the time growing up. That used to be our thing during the summer, a glass of tea, banana sandwich, and me listening to her tell stories from her childhood and young adulthood. Oh I miss those days lol!
Yall are missing out! You add peanut butter! Peanut butter on one side of the bread, mayo on the other, banana in the middle. Life changing....yum.
Peanut butter....and mayo? I'm usually down to try anything once, but idk about that! Lol0 -

Confession: That sounds gross to me. Bananas and mayo? Ew. But then, my husband thinks the idea of bananas sliced up in a peanut butter sandwich is gross/really weird, and I grew up eating those--it's the only way I can stomach bananas, in fact.
Peanut butter, banana, and honey. Omnomnom!

Also, I grew up in South Carolina and I have never had a banana and mayo sandwich. Not only that, but it sounds disgusting to me! I already don't like mayonnaise that much, but maybe I'd like the sandwich. Who knows? I think it was Italian_Buju who mentioned eating tomato and peanut butter sandwiches. All kinds of combinations you'd never think to try out there.
Oh banana sandwiches are heavenly! I need one in my life here soon I do believe! Try it, it's better when there's not a lot of mayo, and it must be dukes mayo! 0
