I'M IN THE MOOD FOR MOO SHOO...

Dedicated to anyone who has ever driven out of their way to get that perfect slice of cheesecake.

Aren't craving funny things? My friend told me the other day that she woke up thinking she wanted a smoothie. Her eyes popped open and for one reason or another her body/mind/heart/soul (I don't really know where cravings come from, covering all my bases) told her that she wanted strawberries and bananas blended to perfection. She then proceed to leave the comfort of her home and go on an adventure to find the exact blended creation that she was looking for. What an odd thing cravings are. Why is it that we get "tastes for things" or a "hankerin'" for something? I heard a rumor once that we get these cravings because of the vitamins in the particular food that we want, for example, peanuts because they have protein or oranges for vitamin C. Why then do I have cravings for things like freshly baked chocolate cake and rice krispie treats? Is there a vitamin in the marshmallows or the cake mix that I don't know about? If only when my eyes popped open I could think... you know, some scrambled egg whites and a glass of soy milk would really hit the spot right now.
