Pregnancy can do some very strange things.

I have been craving pizza every day for weeks. I've purchased a Kashi vegan one (unfortuntely our local Walmart stocked one that expired 3 months ago - they were good to give a refund), and Trader Joe's one (which is good by the way) but all to no avail. Cheese-less doesn't cut it. I can't stand vegan soy cheese either, so I don't dare make my own and watch it go down the drain.

That craving got so strong I finally decided to brace myself for digestion misery. I stopped at Costco with the fam and treated us all to pizza. The kids were estatic. I can't blame them, pizza was one of my all-time favorite foods; I ate it at least 3 times a week in high school. Rather than just order a cheese pizza I really wanted to give in to my craving and get a pepperoni, which is exactly what I did. Good move! Did you know that pepperoni has less cheese than a cheese pizza, I know that seems like a no brainer, yet it is a detail I forgot. It was divine. I knew my limit though. After a slice and a half I traded the remainder with my daughter for the crust of her slice she was nibbling at.

All night I expected misery, I woke myself up a few times expecting it, it never came.

How? All I can thing of are a combination of 2 solutions. I've been drinking a vegan greens drink everyday since Thanksgiving that supplies lactase. I also think that this little baby needed some nurishment from it and rewarded me for supplying it. Hooray!
