You need a stiff drink.

Definitely cracking up here!

Was watching TV (that's already a symptom ha ha) and there was an advert
for 'Tuna Helper'. Those in the US should know what that means. The
plate presented to the would-be consumers looked disgusting enough. It's
not something we'd ever buy.

However the second half of the ad featured 'Hamburger Helper', in a
'cheeseburger macaroni' version. That's when the psychotic break
occurred! It actually looked edible. Personally I blame the altitude...

Is there a 12-step programme for this sort of thing LOL.

So, any food you'd normally consider revolting look good to you lately?

So your taking fancy to classic US Trailer Trash food eh?

The only food I've found that I consider revolting is green pea soup,
the green gritty, slimy stuff that looks like it was skimmed off the top
of a tank at a sewage treatment plant, not to be confused with split pea
soup which is fine. Needless to say, I have not found green pea soup to
have become any more attractive lately.

The past year or so, I've actually eaten cottage cheese a few times. You
couldn't have paid me to eat it before.

I use cottage cheese as a dip sometimes. I like Wheat Thins and
cottage cheese.

I love cooking with wine.
Sometimes I even put it in the food.

I've eaten plenty of cottage cheese since I've shifted over
to a higher fraction of non-purine-containing protein sources.
(The primary choices there being dairy, and egg whites.)

Usually, I mix in some form of capsicum. Harissa, salsa,
habanero sauce, ajvar, sambal.

latest favorite.

Fritos Scoops and cottage cheese are the way to go. Not the flimsy Scoops,
the heavy duty corn ones. A little lemon pepper on the cottage cheese is
good.

My favorite thing on cottage cheese ............ Tony's. Even on the
pineapple w/cottage cheese.

Even Red Lobster. I actually went to eat there once a couple of years ago.
On tv the lobster looks real. On the table it is those icky little bugs we
used to call langostino.

Cottage cheese with lots of black pepper and snipped fresh chives -
stupid stores don't sell it with chives any more (nor cream cheese
with chives, either) - and there used to be frozen chives in little
tubs - you could scrape out what you needed and it would thaw
instantly on top the cottage cheese - can't find those, either.

I swear I'm going to grow my own chives - but I've said that for
years, now.

Oh yes! Tomato is fantastic with cottage cheese. You can make it fancy
by "stuffing" the tomato. Cut it on a zig zag thru the center, plop some
cottage cheese in the middle and top with sliced black or green olives.
Serve on a boston butter lettuce leave for a fancy presentation...

Chives are easy to grow. :-) I have had a patch now for years.
I never even have to renew them. They re-seed themselves every year.

Get an Aerograden from Bed, Bath and Beyond or an As Seen On TV store.
Use one of their herb combinations that include chives. We've had an
Aerogarden for several years now - I've been unthrilled with tomatoes,
peppers and such but every time we use it for one of the herb
assortments it's great. Now we stick with the herbs. Basil enough for
pesto!

Or have an herb pot out on the deck. We do that in the summer but here
in zone 6B Chicago metro few herbs survive the snow. When we lived in
So Cal we used herbs as bushes by the time they'd grown for 2 years.

Fresh herbs rule. And they are fun to grow. Relaxing fun.

Arri...slooowly step away from the TV. everything will be O.K.
Now push the *off* button on the remote and gently place it on the
coffee table. Do this every time you see these adverts.
Having lived in New Mexico myself, Santa Fe to be exact, a much higher
altitude than where are, I find your need to blame these feelings on
the altitude a little disturbing.
Setting aside the fact that I'd cut off my right arm to live in New
Mexico again. I would, at a great self sacrifice, be willing move
there and help you through this tough time, however long it may take.

A university acquaintance of mine loved stewed tomatoes with cottage
cheese. That put me off cottage cheese (which I actually like) for ages

But why? It comes nonfat around here. Same dairy case as the nonfat sour
cream and nonfat cream cheese.

Normally when genuinely ill though, *no* food looks good. Certainly not
anything seen on TV.

True nuff. They pay those food stylists and camera people a lot of money
