When are you due?
Do you know what it is?
Have you had any strange cravings?

To which the answers are:
April sometime.
It�s a baby!
Nope.

I might have to amend that last answer now.

On Saturday The Sexy and I went around the corner for lunch (instead of the usual breakfast) at the caf� and I ordered the chicken schnitzel which comes with a wedge of lemon to squeeze on it (pretty standard I believe). The Sexy had risotto that came with some Turkish pide on the side. He gave me a few bits and I squeezed the lemon on it as there wasn�t any butter. Tasted pretty good.

Then we went out for dinner with a bunch of theatre people and there was crispy chicken and I squeezed some lemon on that was well. Tasted really good.

Then yesterday when we went around the corner for breakfast all I could see on the menu that I wanted to eat was Turkish pide...and I asked for a wedge of lemon to go with it. That caused the waiter to come back from the kitchen to inform me that the owner of the caf� (who is a bit of a larrikin and calls me �Fatso� at the moment) wanted him to tell me that he thought I was a freak.

This caused a lot of giggling from me. I didn�t think I had a problem with the lemon juice thing until I wanted to squeeze it all over my vegetables last night. Right now I am sitting here thinking about when I get home, I�ll make some toast and squeeze a lemon on it.

It has to be lemon juice though. Nothing lemon flavoured will do the trick. It�s the fresh juice, or it�s nothing.

Maybe bubs is telling me that I�m low on dietary fibre, Vitamin C, Vitamin B6, Calcium, Potassium, Copper, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Pantothenic Acid, Iron and Magnesium � which is apparently all the nutritional benefit in a lemon.

That�s pretty impressive!
