"GET IT WHAT IT WANTS!"

Jonathan and I often communicate during the day via instant message. A few weeks ago I was explaining a particular craving. I told him that it must be the McNugget who wanted that kind of food (I can't recall what it is at the moment) because I don't even like it. He wrote back with a demand: "GET IT WHAT IT WANTS!"

I think he was mostly kidding but I couldn't stop laughing and decided that it's a great mantra to go with (within reason). Maybe the McNugget craves certain foods because I need more protein or carbohydrates or something else it needs to continue developing? As long as the food is healthy, why not indulge the McNug?

Most of my cravings have gone away but every now and then I get a "GIWIW" craving. Last night I had a new one. We get organic fruits and vegetables delivered every week and this week's shipment came yesterday; part of the haul included three beautiful navel oranges Jonathan left on the counter. Normally I would leave these for Jonathan who loves fresh squeezed juice. Also, I am not a huge fan of oranges; but we learned last night that apparently the McNugget is. I saw the oranges and something inside me (literally) told me I had to have one. It turned out to be delicious. I credit the McNugget with opening me up to new foods. I'm just glad it has moved on from the fast food type to the organic.
