| | Addicted to Garlic and Basil | | this is not really funny. I go on these binges where I am eating unreal amounts of raw garlic...like 4 smashed cloves on my bread or 1 bulb, smashed mixed with pasta..
On other days I eat Basil like there's no tomorrow. I mean boxes of Basil...I rip the leaves of the stems, stack them and then eat them (preferably with Garlic) on bread..or make a pesto with 3 bags of Basil....Sometimes I have to eat Garlic all night..I mean from 7 pm until I go to bed..it is like an addiction, I just can not stop..
Seriously, does anybody else have those cravings and what could that mean? This is not a joke..(thank do, my husband really doesn't care about the smell) | |
