Futile

[mrissa]

What I really want for dinner is pizza, and carrots, and potato chips with French onion dip.

(I don't eat potato chips with French onion dip above twice a year, if that. Still.)

What I'm going to have for dinner is lovely chilled bell pepper soup with dill, well-seasoned and with the look of confetti about it.

I should not feel like whining about this.

Y'know, I went through the all-soup thing back when I had my jaw surgery. I don't necessarily recommend blending a piece of pizza, but what about blending a bit of tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese and heating it up, and having that as a side dish to your bell-pepper soup?

A certain amount of whining is completely okay. And food cravings that only show up when you can't fulfill them is like your nose itching when your hands are full -- completely natural.

I don't suppose volunteering to eat the chips and dip on your behalf would help?

You just had your wisdom teeth out. You have a Get Out of Jail Free card as far as the whining goes.

Sympathy and solidarity here on not getting to eat what you want to. Now that you're safely through your surgery, I'll say that even though the recovery from my wisdom tooth extraction was easy, I can't stand having oral surgery. I'd rather have a limb amputated. Yuck! :-)

You'll have that pizza soon. SOON!

I'm not allowed hot things until Saturday. Alas. And while cold pizza is nice, cold tomato sauce and mozzarella doesn't sound so. But I'll probably have tomato basil soup with Parmesan melted onto it on Saturday, because we have that, and it's good, and it's not like what I've been eating.

Mme. Zelda, you may eat whatever you like and call it on my behalf, under your present circumstances.

I do know it'll be soon. I keep telling myself that. I think I'd far rather have my limbs, though of course I haven't experimented with that and hope not to.

Alas, those work better externally than internally.

[truepenny.livejournal.com]

Yes, I know, but I thought the external affirmation might help with the internal.

Much appreciated.

Pizza and carrots. Yanno, I don't think I've ever put those two in a sentence together before.

Also: *sympathy*

I got my wisdom teeth yanked two days before Thanksgiving. It was horrifying, to look at all those wonderful dishes and not sample.

*more sympathy*

When we have pizza at home, I almost always have carrots for my veggie, because they take no preparation at all, and they go well on the side, and somehow my brain believes that One Needs a vegetable despite the vegetative nature of tomatoes and other things one puts on a pizza.
