However, if I found out that a meteor was going to fatally impact the planet in three weeks, between now and then, I would be going out for dinner to every BBQ joint with pulled pork that I could find!

I really miss bacon, sausages, and all that. Even though I only ate them very occasionally.

Dick Gregory mentions in one of his diet books, that whenever he was in the midst of one of his food fasts, he would dream about hotdogs.

And that is true for me too. I have done three week cleanses, and in the midst of those, I am dreaming about hotdogs. (Even though normally I don't have them.)

Why I am not dreaming about things I really crave, like filet mignon, I have no idea.
