Egg Nog, for me.
It used to excite me in the past that when October rolls around, I’m anticipating when and how early I’m to see those egg nog cartons and bottles come out. I always try to get as much time in with it as I can between October and December.
But lately, I tried drinking some and the thickness of the drink itself, takes some to get through. It just makes you feel fuller and when you think you’ve got room in your body for it and you drink it, you feel disgusted. But overall, just drinking through the thickness of it, ugh.

Everything. Sick of cooking, sick of eating. When I’m hungry, I just grab food that’s quick and easy to eat without any preparations.
I feel this so hard. My husband “wants to cook more” but doesn’t and I can’t help but feel that what he really wants is for me to do it. (He swears this is not the case! He doesn’t like planning.) But I don’t enjoy cooking at all, plus I have meetings almost every evening. When we do cook, I will say I enjoy the food more. Otherwise I eat because I have to, but nothing sounds good anymore.
People always say to people wanting to cut down on eating unhealthy foods is “well, prepare meals and cook food”. Well, the problem with that is A) gathering ingredients collectively are expensive. B) not everyone has the time to whip up a meal during a busy life. C) There’s like too many recipes out there to even count and a lot of them require this, this, that, maybe this, some of that, and a little more. Guess what? That’s more money to spend.
So combined all that, you’re looking to maybe spend about $25 ~ $100 or more to prepare these ‘simple meals’ where, it doesn’t hurt to grab a $5 sub from wal-mart’s deli.
Burgers. Like 90% of drive thru fastfood that are open late into the evening are burgers. In Asia, you can get a variety of street food when everything else is closed.
october??? I think this is just part of the holidays expanding to far beyond their boundaries. in the us until thanksgiving is over I don’t like seeing any xmass and honestly because I see it before I have kinda soured to it. same with holloween showing up before october.
It’s getting absurd to the point that (to continue OP’s example) egg nog starts going back out of stock shortly after Thanksgiving!
I wish they sold egg nog in shot glass quantities. I only ever want about that amount.
Don’t really get sick of anything recently. I keep the variety up with food. When I was young I would eat the same breakfast every morning to the point I never ate toaster waffles ever again to this day, and breakfast sausage eventually caused a nausea response just by smelling it. Up to a decade after I last ate a link at the time. I can now, but it’s unhealthy so that’s not very often. School was a long time ago for me.
Taught myself to make Taco Bell enchiritos and they are bangin’! But after eating one everyday for two months, I’m fairly burned.
Here’s Alton Brown’s aged egg nog recipe.
Best egg nog you’ve ever had. I’ve made it the past couple years and it’s always been a hit. I have a double batch in my fridge now that I started in October - one each for my family’s Christmas party and my wife’s family’s party.
Not anymore but once I visited family in Alaska. And it feels weird to say I got tired of fresh caught king salmon!
Yogurt.
And it pains me to say that because I like it, it’s good for me…it’s just…you know, the magic is fading.
How can I bring more excitement to my yogurt?
Oatmeal for a month or two, then back to yogurt.
And/or try all different kinds of yogurt from all the different brands (soy, oat, coconut, pea, greek, turkish, homemade, strained, whipped, whathaveyou).
