Singleness

[bertine]

There are three times I don't like being single.

1. When I want to have sex
2. When I think about having a baby
3. When I want to cook

It really sucks to cook for just yourself and while I could go to my parents house and cook for them they don't like a lot of the food I want to try. Plus my dad is watching what he eats so I can't even bake for them anymore.

The problem is that I am not actually that good of a cook and it takes me forever to cook anything. I mostly need someone that will put up with all my practice attempts.

Though, I am an excellent baker and I was thinking about making petit fours for your tea party. That or an Irish Cream Cheesecake depending on how much time I would have to prepare it though I don't know if you would be able to eat the cheesecake cause it has 1/2 cup of irish cream in it. Hmm...

I'm not scared of moderate alcohol consumption in pregnancy.

Good. Because you wouldn't be able to resist this cheese cake at all.

Yay, at least there's one reasonable pregnant woman left.

I also eat sushi.

In fact, I eat lots and lots and lots of sushi.

I am endlessly annoyed at the scaremonger industry bent on shaming pregnant women into eating only bland food supplement bars.

You are my hero. I always figured I would eat sushi and drink some when I was pregnant. Also, I am pretty sure giving up caffeine would be worse for everyone involved than a couple cans of pop a day.

I don't get drunk when I'm pregnant, but I figure that if a half-glass of wine (which is really more than I ever drink unless I'm trying) can kill a fetus, we'd never have survived as a human race.

As far as caffeine - please.

I don't really drink much but if I am going to dinner and there is wine (or beer) there, I'll have one. And really, I have studied enough history to know that most of human history drinking beverages with alcohol in it was actually safer than drinking water.

Though, I am an excellent baker

Seconding this - Bertine has yet to make something that is/wasn't totally awesome and delicious for pot lucks*.
