Oh I am so sorry! I didn't know! Probably the last recipe on the planet you want to be reading.
Growing up in Newfoundland, we ate pickled beet potato salad...I love beets, too. I love salt and cheese..neither much good lol.
I want certain things at certain times of the year.
I want spicyhothothot food, like Thai curries, during the first flash of summer heat. (Don't ask, because I don't know why.)
I want apple cider with bourbon (an applejack), French onion soup, open-faced Spanish tomato-ham sandwiches, crusty warm baguettes with butter, and caramel anything in the fall.
At Christmas and on into January, I want smoked salmon, scrambled eggs with green onions, pralines, panforte (Italian Christmas sweet), Cabernet, and filet.
I want homemade chicken noodle soup most of the time. Or Greek egg-lemon soup.
And year-round I could live on artichokes, those same crusty baguettes, caramelized onions, coffee ice cream, and spinach.
I crave cuisines, too, like good Mexican or Chinese food. I'm really jonesin' for Indian right now.

I'm a foodie. I love all those things, except the beets and the plain potatoes. I need some buttah, sour cream, cheese, chives, bacon bits, all the things on my potatoes. I love nachos. I've never tried beets. Right now I'm thinking how good Thanksgiving is going to taste. I'm on week 1 of trying to get off of carbs and sugar - 3 days behind me. I've had some delicious grapes today. But I'm not going to be all hardcore and keep this $h!+ up during the food holidays. I'll be having all the treats - pie is probably my favorite. Sometimes I get an unbearable craving for chocolate. It makes me do crazy things.
I love food.
I've been eating turkey bacon.It's not like piggy bacon. Not at all.
I'm going to be OK. My tights went on easier this morning - that was exciting.
16 days until pie.
I understand you completely.
I'm the same as Lily Sawyer. I'm waiting for the really cold weather so I can have mulled red wine with pepper and cinnamon.
I'm going to have to look up a recipe for that!
I got soaking wet on my bicycle on the way home from work today and all I could think of was toast with peanut butter.
I love carrot cake with a cup of tea. I got this recipe off the internet:

Thank NN, that was one of the funniest videos I've seen in a while. When I used to work in CID, it wasn't as scripted as this but I'm not kidding, this is the kind of banter that went on constantly and kept us all cracking up, and in trouble a lot with the supervisors. We would have days where anything anyone said would be followed by "That's what your mom said last night." It would usually be completely inappropriate and most times wouldn't even make sense, but that's what seemed to make it that much funnier. It seemed to be contagious like a viral outbreak or something. Someone would make a smart-a$$ed remark in the morning briefing and we'd all pick it up and drive everyone in the division bonkers the rest of the day with it. Our Sergeants and Lieutenant would try to stay out of it but we usually dragged them into it at least once sometime during the day. Thanks for the video....
Thank you! The peanut butter toast hit the spot!
....."dirty whores" seems to be the pejorative du'jour at the gray bar hotel.....
It sucks that you got wet.

Super-Special, Diabetes-In-A-Spoon Holiday Cookies:
Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon real vanilla extract
2 eggs
Semi sweet mini morsels
M&M's of your choosing
Vanilla (or white chocolate) baking chips
Butterscotch baking chips
(You can also add nuts, raisins, or whatever you like to these. I simply prefer the chocolate mix.)
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In a medium saucepan, melt butter on high. As soon as it is melted, remove from heat. Add sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk until creamy, then whisk in the eggs. Slowly whisk this into the flour, blending well. (I use my hands to sort of knead the mixture into a soft dough.) Blend in desired amounts of baking chips. (Again, I use my hands. It works better than anything else I've tried.)
Lightly grease cookie sheets with olive oil. Do this only once. I use an ice teaspoon, or just my hands, to scoop out enough dough to roll into a small ball. Excess will fall back into the mixing bowl. I then gently flatten them, then place them on the cookie sheet. These don't grow much, so don't worry about space. I'm paranoid, so I always gap them further than necessary, but they never seem to actually need the space.
Have the oven pre-heated to 375 degrees (FH). Depending on your altitude, and your oven, these could go in anywhere between seven and twelve minutes. My elevation is around 5,000 and my husband's stove is pretty good, so I bake them for eight minutes exactly. I always use a timer, as even thirty seconds too long can wreck them. I also have hot pads set on the counter, so that air can get under the tray as the cookies cool.
And there you are! My slightly tweaked version of a recipe I got out of Aunt Bee's Mayberry Cookbook. It's the only recipe I've ever used out of that book!
Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup vegan baking butter
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon real vanilla extract
1 banana (regular-ish size.)
Carob baking chips
Raisins and/or cranberries
Nuts of your choosing
The only difference to this recipe is when you add the banana to the butter mix. You have to mash it up as good as you can, so that it blends well with the flour. The cookies will have a banana-bread quality to them, but it's not terrible. The rest of the recipe is virtually the same. It is also very important that you use the vegan butter imitation; I've tried using applesauce instead, and the cookies come out as mudpies.
Sounds good - I think I would add the baking soda to the flour so that they would rise up a wee bit.
Oh wait - your recipe did call for soda! - Wow - I must have attention deficit tonight
Thanks!

Did I actually remember to put it in my post though?? I was very tired that night, I may have had mommy-brain and forgot to write it down. Lemme check...
Ok, it's there. Ya skeered me Neese! 
Thanks for finding that old photo! This is the best recipe I've found for cookies anywhere, and they even make good sugar cookies! Just mix up the dough and bake it. They're not the usual sugar cookie, but I still like 'em.
