My taste buds make me crazy...

My friend at work was surprised when I told her that I cooked beef steak Filipino style yesterday coz she according to her pregnant woman are very sensitive with smelly foods. Well, not me. I like to smell the fried onions and garlic which made me drooling while cooking. I was craving for bistek so I went to the store yesterday to get the freshest beef and bought one lemon for the bistek and 2 bi-color sweet corn. I like the yellow sweet corn but it's not available so I bought the bi-color one. I was excited when I finished cooking my bistek; it smells like the bistek in the Philippines. But the problem is my taste buds. It was delicious on my first bite, the next bites were different. I pause for a while and asked myself "Is this the taste of a Philippine bistek?" Hubby was wondering of what happened coz I was excited to eat at first then I slow down. I said that I was craving for the bistek but after having a bite of it, I don't like the taste anymore. Grrrr! At that moment, I was thinking of what I really like to eat and my Aunt's home made tocino popped up in my mind. Yes, I was craving tocino but I like to eat my Aunt's tocino, not the one in the store. Geee! I lost my appetite right away but I forced myself to finish my rice and give my bistek left over to hubby. Hubby said "I like it!" Well, good for him.

Here's the photo of yesterday's bistek.



I was thinking of eating something sweet but it should be healthy. I hurriedly cooked the sweet corn for me and hubby. I was excited to eat it so when it's already cooked, I brought the plate of sweet corn in the bedroom where hubby is. He's talking to his mom on the phone and was lying in bed. I know that hubby won't talk and eat at the same time but I want to eat when I have an audience. haha I was nibbling the sweet corn while listening to hubby and my mother-in-law's conversation. Hubby warned me already that the sweet corn is too much for me but I didn't listen. I was able to finish it but again, the first half of the corn was great and the next half taste different. I don't know why there's always a bitter taste to all the foods I ate. I think it's because of the iron that I'm taking everyday or maybe there's something in the prenatal vitamins that they gave me which changes my sense of taste. I think the only thing that doesn't taste bitter is the pork rinds (chicharon/es). It taste sooo good with the spicy vinegar but I don't want to eat it all the time because it can cause heart burn. Here's a photo of pork rinds (chicharon/es) and the spicy vinegar.



Hmm My taste buds really made me crazy. I hope someday my taste buds will cooperate and won't give me a bitter taste of the foods I like. That will be a big relief. ^_^
