In general, fin-fish will be raw and shellfish will be cooked. When I was pregnant I ate a LOT of California rolls (crab*, cucumber, avocado).
*Or, more likely, imitation crab which is really cured whitefish

So based on Jessica and my pregnancy experiences, girls make you want spicy foods while boys are the absolute opposite?
The way one of my co-workers put it was simply "oh yeah, boys make you sick."

Because books.
Oh man, I want Cold Puppy.
I can't remember not liking anything when I was pregnant. Or wanting anything in particular. I generally have an iron stomach, though.
Cooked veg was sometimes iffy, but that's true even now depending on the day.

I really don't know if I can do eel. Not today, anyway.
imitation crab which is really cured whitefish
Aha! Good to know.
I did notice that the sushi place has a couple of salads with grilled fish that look good. One even has avocados! So I foresee a fair number of lunches there in my future.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Okay, I may just be crabby today, but I get annoyed when a co-worker sends me a file and the e-mail says "I NEED you to change the month on this," etc. etc.
How hard is it to SAY PLEASE???
I'm tempted to e-mail back "What's the magic word, Champ?"
The e-mail concluded with "It has to go to the printer TODAY so I need it SOON."
Well, maybe you could have given it to me sooner in the day than 3:05 pm, Champ.

I was at World Market over the weekend and they had water flavored with herbs - I got some ginger and lemon, which I bet would be good for anyone with a touchy digestion.

I highly recommend TJ's Uncrystallized Candied Ginger, which helped me be able to eat other things when I had vertigo nausea.

As anyone who has seen my handy chemo guide, I'm a great believer in ginger for nausea. I simmered sliced ginger in water for about 10 minutes, added honey and sipped on it all day.
If you were planning an event with David Eagleman, most recently the author of Incognito, how many people do you think it would draw? I ask because the 225-person room at the book festival wasn't big enough.

DUDE! It's Kristen. That's family. There is no humiliation. Unconditional LOVE!
Exactly. It would be like me melting down in front of Cass or Plei.
Plus, melting down at that is no crime. I would have completely lost it, too.
