        My mom cooked a vegie burger last night.  I almost barfed at the
smell.  Now, understand that I never liked the taste.  But the smell was
never toxic until tonight.  The smell of soy frying just GOT to me.  I
had to eat a banana just to keep my olfactory centers from initiating
inverse parastalsic action.
        Strangely, I don't have -real- cravings.  I get songs in my head,
though.  Like the "Tastations" song, "Do Your Ears Hang Low?" (Ice cream
truck music), and other songs associated with foodstuffs I'm not eating.
Maybe I should get a copy of the music from "Rodeo," which is the song
for the "Beef: Real food for real people" commercials.
