<\/p>\nI’ve been composing a mental list of all the things I plan to eat once Belly Baby emerges. It’s getting so long I thought I should write it down somewhere so I don’t forget anything! <\/p>\n

The list is a bit unusual. A lot of these delectables aren’t things that I eat regularly (even when I’m not pregnant), and there are even some things I hardly *ever* eat. But living with the diet prohibitions that come with pregnancy just makes me want to eat them! <\/p>\n
Many of these items I *have* been able to eat with modifications: lunchmeat (heated until steaming), cheeses (double-checking that they are pasteurized), soft-cooked eggs (using “Davidson’s pasteurized eggs”:http:\/\/safeeggs.com\/). But I’m just looking forward to throwing caution to the wind! So without further ado, here is my list:<\/p>\n
*beverages*<\/p>\n
* a nice Italian chianti, preferably with some crusty bread and good olive oil
\n* a chilly and sweet Riesling
\n* a “Gingertini” from “Ben Pao”:http:\/\/benpao.com\/
\n* my favorite sangria from “Andie’s Restaurant”:http:\/\/www.andiesres.com\/
\n* apple cider from an apple orchard, unpasteurized (I’ll have to wait until the fall for that)
\n* a yummy port of Jon’s choosing, with a cheese course<\/p>\n
*food*<\/p>\n
* soft-cooked eggs — sunny-side up, poached, soft-boiled. I’ve been intrigued by a recipe in Nigella Lawson’s “latest cookbook”:http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/1401322433\/octothorppres-20 for creamy baked eggs and buttered toast fingers: “ouefs en cocotte.”
\n* “carpaccio”:http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Carpaccio, preferably from one of the “Francesca restaurants”:http:\/\/www.miafrancesca.com\/index.asp
\n* “caprese salad”:http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Insalata_Caprese
\n* raw oysters, probably from “Davis Street Fishmarket”:http:\/\/www.davisstreetfishmarket.com\/
\n* sushi! sushi! sushi!
\n* a tall turkey lunchmeat sandwich with lettuce, pickles, tomato, mayonnaise, mustard, avocado…
\n* soft cheeses: Brie, Camembert, Saint Andr\u00c3\u00a9. In fact, I just want to order a cheese course from a fancy restaurant and not have to ask if the cheeses are pasteurized!
\n* pat\u00c3\u00a9 (I never eat this, but right now I want it!)
\n* summer sausage
\n* a liverwurst sandwich on rye bread
\n* chocolate mousse
\n* real buttercream frosting
\n* raw chocolate-chip-cookie dough
\n* a nice rare filet mignon
\n* a molten chocolate cake (yes, a whole one — they’re small)<\/p>\n
Yummy! At least now I know where I’ll be getting those extra 500 calories you need when nursing a baby. Plus — no heartburn!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
