Anyone "Crave" certain Foods/Dishes After an ILL Episode?



Let's face it, there are a lot of "food" episodes of ILL. Every once in a while, an ep will make
me crave a certain dish simply because it's eaten by the characters on the show (which, of
course, is why TV commercials work).

For instance, sometimes I crave waffles after watching "The Business Manager." I rarely
cave in, as I'm not a breakfast person.

In "Fred and Ethel Fight", I sometimes want some roast beef, with gravy, string beans and
potatoes. I also want steak after that dinner scene in "The Diet." I also will sometimes eat
toast the following morning after watching "The Charm School" because I love the way
Ethel butters, then noshes into that piece of toast (I don't drink coffee, so I don't dip the
toast).

One food that NEVER works for me is those slimy, runny eggs Ricky or Ethel dig into at
breakfast. Yuck!

Silly post, I guess, but anyone else "crave" certain dishes after an ILL viewing?

Well...EGGS are the first thing I crave but I know you hate them.

In the episode when Lucy can't make up her mind, Ricky says he feels like pizza. I always feel like pizza.

In the Brown Derby episode I get a craving for spaghetti and meatballs. I don't know how Lucy could leave her whole meal just because Bill Holden was staring at her! No one can make me uncomfortable enough that I wouldn't finish my spaghetti.
