  • if I only ate potatoes

    I wonder if I only ate potatoes, that it would somehow make me like potato-based dishes more, eventually.

    It'd probably do the opposite, as I already don't understand why people like potatoes as much as they do. And associating non-flavored / non-fattened potatoes would probably make the anti-preference worse.

    Instead of white potatoes.. try sweet potatoes. I usually just cut off a 1.5 to 2in [4-5 cm] disc, microwave that until evenly cooked, and just have that with butter and maybe some roasted garlic and pepper spices. Sweet potatoes have great flavor on their own, and are a satisfying "filler" without encouraging going back for more.

    I drove back from my office last night, a 2+ hour drive. Was feeling a little run down, and against better judgement stopped at a
    McDonalds. Double cheeseburger, diet coke, small fries -- it's weird to think I used to crave that?

    The diet coke definitely tasted different to me than I remembered.
    sweet, but not sugary sweet like I used to think it tasted.

    And.. what about the double-cheese-burger? Was it what you expected?

    I haven't set foot in a McDonalds in over 25yrs.

    It was more "I need some calories and protein in me" than any real
    enjoyment. I've been restricting calories lately, had a busy afternoon
    and didn't get to have a snack before the drive home.

    I wouldn't crave one next time I'm on the road, though. I was bad at
    fast food while driving.
