The Gag Test

Tonight Ryan and I resurrected an old game we used to play while I in my first trimester with E and S.  It's called The Gag Test. Here's how you play: 1) I close my eyes and think of a food that doesn't activate my gag reflex. 2) R goes to get that food.  Game over.

This game is pretty much reserved for weekends, as weeknights nobody has the time to deal with the fickle tastes of "The Yuck."  (Oh, I have renamed "Morning Sickness" "The Yuck" because it's not morning and I'm not sick.  I'm just "yuck".)  And tonight we kind of bent the rules because I had to choose between feeding and bathing my children and driving to get my food.  I chose the drive.

And tonight's winner of The Gag Test is...... Savannah Chopped Salad from McCallister's Deli!

 

I thought it would be fun to keep a running list of the "good" foods and "yuck" foods so see how they change in the coming weeks.  So here we go:

Food That Make Me Say "Yum"

• McCallister's Savannah Chopped Salad
• Subway (this tends to be one place that always sounds good when I'm pregnant.  I think the last time I ate there I was pregnant.)
• cold cuts of any kind
• the kids' macaroni and cheese (I NEVER eat this and probably never actually will do it)
• cold pasta salad
• broccoli/kale salad from Byerly's (been craving it)
• cold pea soup
• turkey hot dogs (also something I NEVER consume, but thinking about picking up a pack of the natural ones...)
• apples and most fruit in general
• popsicles
• cold tomato sauce

Food That Make Me Throw Up in My Mouth a Little Bit

• hot grains of any kind (quinoa, lentils, oatmeal, etc.)
• hot soup
• milk (still getting my calcium, mom!)
• chocolate and candy
• hummus
• carrots
• hot vegetables
• coffee 
• soda or anything carbonated

Okay, that's enough for now.  Better go eat my salad before it switches lists.
