(If there's already a thread, sorry - I searched but couldn't come up with anything)
I'm a big one for food anticipation - I love building up to something, a meal or snack or something. Before I get to a restaurant, even waiting to order, thinking about what I'm going to order, how it's going to taste, I get really excited and look so forward to each part of the meal. I can also get food anxiety when it's taking WAY too long to get the food I ordered, or if it seems like there's not going to be enough of what I want for me to actually get any - but different issue for different thread.
I do the same thing for meals I'm going to make at home - I get to thinking about them all day and how yummy it's going to be.
I bring this up because all that anticipation is great for me (I think I like all sorts of anticipation anyway) except when it doesn't get fulfilled it's sooooo disappointing.
I have terrible, terrible food luck - ask anyone who's gone to meals with me. I will get all excited about a milkshake, the machine is broken - I'll get excited about the soup of the day (corn chowder!?) and they just sold the last cup.
Tonight I was planning creamed hamburger on toast, a comfort favorite, and my hamburger was ruined in the freezer, so it's garbage (I'd just taken it out to defrost and not looked close). So yeah, no creamed hamburger tonight. It will still come, but thinking it was going to be tonight means anything else is just second place.
Am I the only one!??
