(In)Famous Cravings
My girlfriend and I were recently reminiscing about our pregnancies -- our pregnant cravings to be exact. I recalled sending my poor husband out late one night in the middle of December with a warning, "Don't come back without fresh blueberries." I was about six months into my first pregnancy at the time. Later on in that same pregnancy, refried beans from Taco Bell became my chronic craving...never mind I normally hated them when the cells in my body weren't being invaded by aliens. In fact, it was also my first pregnancy that turned me into a vegetarian, until eight years later when I became pregnant with my third and final child, and I craved juicy, medium-rare cheeseburgers -- the offical ending of my vegetarian ways.
Did you know that the old cliche that pregnant women crave pickles is based in fact? Supposedly 75% of mommies, including femme fatale Halle Berry, crave the salty snacks when they are with child. I found that delectable tidbit, along with the following star-studded cravings, while surfing the web.
Tori Spelling: Rocky Road ice cream and avocado (I hope not together!)
Gwyneth Paltrow: Mexican food and pizza
Victoria Beckham: smoked salmon (Even her cravings are posh!)
Angelina Jolie: mustard-smothered onion rings
Madonna: poached eggs
