I am craving ice cream. Not the kind you get out of the freezer. Not the kind you get on a Popsicle. I want to eat fresh soft serve ice cream from an ice cream joint like Dairy Queen. I think I'm craving it because the calendar is showing it's getting near my 'time of the month.' If you could be eating any type of food right now, what would it be and why? Do you have any memories attached to that specific food?

And here I thought it was because of my post about making homemade ice cream.. I am craving ice cream too, but I want homemade black cherry ice cream, but this is probably because I have been talking about it for hours..lol

I think my mom made homemade black cherry ice cream before... I love homemade ice cream but haven't had it in years. Maybe I should invest in an icecream maker and make it a tradition every summer.

@cowgirl and richnai...Cool, more "black cherry" fans...Not many people like this flavor, but it's me favorite..If you make ice cream in a ice cream maker and have some tips, let me know please.. In my instruction booklet, it says to use presweetened fruit. One way I thought I'd do is to sprinkle sugar on top of my pitted cherries and let it sit for a while..Then someone suggested pureeing the cherries..I think if the cherries are sweet enough, I can puree some and mix that with the pitted cherries, making a healthier version to mix into the ice cream.. Oooo, can't wait, I can taste that cherry flavor and biting into the fruit..Yum!!!

Oh my! That sounds so good. I don't think i've ever had homemade ice cream. Is it a lot of work? I might try making some!

Watermelon. A nice, big piece of juicy watermelon. My parents never bought them when I was growing up. I was the only one really in the family who liked them, and they weren't going to spend money on something unless at least two of us liked it. You know, money issues. But my grandparents would always have one waiting for me when watermelons were in season. On the occasions we would make the 2 hour trip to their house, I knew we would be enjoying some watermelon.

I do often put salt on my watermelon or canteloupe. I had no idea how many people thought it was strange until recently. But yes, I lightly salt them. Sometimes, they don't need it. But it really enhances the flavor.

I love watermelon, it's so good. We get watermelon a lot here just because we all like it. It's pretty much a race to who gets to it first. Do you like salt on yours? We salt Watermelon and Canteloupe.
• United States

Oh yes, I love watermelon too. It's one of my favorite fruits. I like when the juice runs down my chin. Watermelon is the perfect summer treat! I like cantaloupe too. I've never tried salting melon before though.

I have talked to many friends that tell me that they get some special craving close to that specific time of the month. Curiously, I never did. But then again I never had any even when I was pregnant and most people do. Maybe it's me LOL As for your question, what type of food would I eat right now if I could, I was thinking about that just before I read your discussion and actually went to get my answer: fresh strawberries. Just got a bowl and I'm actually eating them as I write:) Nothing on them, no sugar, whipped cream, yogurt or anything just plain strawberries. I don't really any specific memories attached to them, just the fact that I always liked them.

Wow, that's odd. No cravings during that time? I guess you're lucky! I love strawberries too. I especially love them dipped in chocolate or with whipped cream. How delicious!

Oh my! I haven't had slurpps in years! They're like...mashed up flavored ice drinks. I guess that's the best way I can explain them. They give you a lot of brain freeze if you drink it too fast!

mmmm, it is 7:53am and I just read your post. Gosh fresh served ice cream would be delicious right about now. It could be because of that time of the month, and or fresh ice creams is my favorite and day... There is something completely different about it as opposed to frozen and or bars. Although they are tasty they still do not measure up to true ice cream.. mmmm

Ice cream for breakfast? Sounds yummy! LOL I agree. Soft serve ice cream is so much better than frozen or bars!

Oops! Sorry! I didn't mean to make you hungry! Oh yes, I like vegetable fried rice as well! I've never had cheese wontons before though.

Okay, okay. I won't e at any. I would like to though!I'm always up to try new food as long as it isn't alive. Oh, and as long as it isn't some type of bug either.

Oh goodness, never had a cheese wonton?! Well, I guess my advice would be NOT to get started on them then, they are addictive! =)

I think I'd like some macaroni and cheese. My husband and I were going to eat it earlier until we realized we still had pizza left to eat. Macaroni is a great food, I love the way it tastes, and love to eat it with a meat, and of course other vegetables. I'd like some macaroni and mashed potatoes, as well as some peas and corn, and a hamburger steak... though I'm not hungry. Most likely we will fix macaroni later... No memories attached to the food though.

Yum! I love macaroni! I don't love macaroni and cheese though. I like it, but I don't love it. I do like pizza too. And mashed potatoes. And peas.

Ice cream has a memory attached to it for me. When I was very young and lived at my grandma's house we always had ice cream on Sunday. The family got together for dinner and icecream after. If I could be eating anything right now it would either be ice cream or cheese cake. Chocolate cheese cake.

Ehmm, I want eat Lawar. Lawar is kind of Balinese food. It made of pork combine of coconut with spicy seasoning. The seasoning is unique. It's consist of chili, salt, shrimp paste, union, garlic, ginger, turmeric, kencur, pepper and galangal. Lawar is my favorite food. Even though I don't have any memories attached to that food but I always missed it since we usually make this food in certain time. However, we can buy it in restaurant but I don't like the taste if lawar made in restaurant.

Lawar of Bali - It's one of Balinese food. This is called Lawar
I attached picture of lawar here. This is one kind of lawar. Lawar can be made in various material. The original is made of coconut and fork. Some has been modified by using fork combine with long bean, or young jackfruit.

How come they aren't allowed in your house? I love eggs. I especially love them scrambled and with peppers and onions and potatoes. It's my specialty. I'm not too into bananas. I like bananas splits, but I can't eat them by themselves. I do like bananas in my cereal though.

Right now, I would like to have a couple of slices of watermelon. I've just replied to a discussion concerning watermelons and it is making me hungry for them. It's also the summer, so the heat is making me want some juicy fruit. I'm going shopping today so maybe I would look to see if I can find a good watermelon.

I like to eat mashed potato. I loved to eat that when I was pregnant, but for sure I am not pregnant right now. I just like mashed potato with very delicious gravy. Sometimes I make it for myself rather than ones that are ready made in the mall.

Oh yes! I love mashed potatoes too. I like them creamy, not chunky. How delicious!
