Huh, I might have to look into sushi. I generally don't eat fish, but I don't mind suspending that rule while pregnant, and have been thinking it might be a good idea to have some fish occasionally, for all the nutritional benefits. I'm not even sure I knew there was such a thing as cooked-fish sushi! Thanks for the tip.

Mostly I'm looking for fairly bland but fresh-tasting foods that won't make me too thirsty. Melon sounds really good, actually. I'm also craving avocado tacos like crazy. Thank god I can still eat avocados!

I'm so glad it happened at home. But Kristen saw it. So I'm a little humiliated.

DUDE! It's Kristen. That's family. There is no humiliation. Unconditional LOVE!

Allyson, you have no idea how many times I've melted down because, like, my toast burned. Seriously. It's okay.

Hope you find some good foods you can tolerate, Kate!

Unless I pass this illness onto EVERYONE.

I vote you pass it on to the consultants. Or P from ORS.

Allyson, totally not out of proportion.

Avocado and cucumber rolls are vegetarian and will also provide you with the all-important pickled ginger.

Ha! With Dylan, I basically had morning sickness the entire 40 weeks and ate as little as possible. With Aeryn, all I wanted to do was eat Mexican food ALL THE TIME.

Allyson, with all the misery that car has put you through lately, I don't blame you one bit for being at the end of your rope.

For those having a really shitty day, I give you Cold Puppy!

This seems like as good an excuse as any for Who burned Nic Cage's toast?

Seriously, like 10 of use are wearing guacamole slippers right now and 10 more have the freaking rubber gloves on their heads and all of us are looking at you like? huh? humiliation? that there is just fine behavior. It's not like meltdown with bad spelling or grammar fer fuck's sake.

OK, please forgive my total sushi ignorance, but I'm looking at the menu of the sushi place just down the street from my office, and they don't appear to do any cooked-fish sushi. Is that something that you'd normally expect to see on a menu, or are there clues I'm missing? Like, are there certain kinds of fish that are always cooked, or some code words I should be looking for? Can I order a regular roll and ask for the fish to be cooked, or is that Not Done?
