food cravings were experienced in past week for the following:
    1) mangosteens (it was all that durian talk at toscaninis)
    2) dried cranberries
    3) watercress sandwiches (like louis the swan!)
    4) sea urchin roe
    5) toast with butter and a drizzle of honey
    6) char kway teow
    7) rice pudding with a massive wobbly red dollop of jam. (rice pudding forever makes me think of thomasina, in stoppard. that, and of having dinner with christine and janice jensen at the pasha cafe in arlington, va, a lovely place which i have heard has now closed.)
    8) pineapple tarts, slightly overbaked, with very sweet, very chewy jam.

sweet 3 savoury 4 and sour 2. (i'm counting toast twice, since it's butter and honey)

i dunno how a person can have 8 different kinds of food craving within 7 days, although admittedly the watercress sandwiches only lasted a little while.
