Chapter 1: Why does Emma crave to talk about her favorite things?
And every few months I get sort of a craving, a craving to just sit down and discuss some of the stuff that I like. I think I get this craving every few months because I'm constantly evolving, okay? My routine is constantly changing. My opinions are constantly changing. One day, I absolutely love something. I'm obsessed with it. And the next day, I couldn't care less about it.
This is just who I am, a constantly evolving person. And some people would say that this means I'm just inconsistent. It's not really a positive thing. I disagree. I think this personality trait of mine makes me interesting. The fact that every few months I have a brand new list of things that I really like, I think that makes me interesting. Without further ado, let me share this list with you.
This list of things that have truly brought me joy over the last few months. Tomorrow, I might not care about these things anymore, but we can't worry about tomorrow. No, we can't. All we have is today. Yeah, all we have is the present. And today, this list is relevant. It's powerful. This list is everything. Let's begin.
I briefly paused this episode of Anything Goes to let you know that this episode of Anything Goes is presented by Amazon. Getting sick is horrible enough. The getting better part shouldn't be horrible too. Waiting on hold for an appointment, sitting in crowded waiting rooms, standing in line at the pharmacy, that's almost as bad as the sickness itself.
Amazon One Medical and Amazon Pharmacy remove these painful parts of getting better with things like 24-7 virtual visits and prescriptions delivered to your door. Thanks to Amazon One Medical and Amazon Pharmacy for sponsoring today's episode. Now let's get back to the episode. Um, okay, let's start with something super weird.
Recently, I have been absolutely loving burgers, hot dogs, corn dogs, basically American meats in between American types of bread. And I know what you're thinking. Emma, aren't you a vegetarian? Yes, I am. Okay. Thankfully, food technology has gotten to a point now where you can be vegetarian and still feel like you're eating meat. Okay. Fake burger, fake hot dog.
It feels real enough to me, okay? I don't know what's going on because I've never really been obsessed with burgers or hot dogs or corn dogs. This has never been a favorite food of mine. I've never cared about this genre of food. But for some reason recently, this is my favorite food. This is all I'm craving. This is all I want.
I want to eat a beautiful, beautiful veggie burger on a yummy, yummy bun. And I want it to have a bunch of mustard. And I want it to have a bunch of ketchup. And I want it to have little dill pickle spheres on my burger. I want to sink my teeth into it. That's what sounds good to me. I want to grill up a vegetarian hot dog and just squirt all the ketchup and all the mustard on it.
And I want to absolutely eat it. If I could have anything right now, it'd be a corn dog. You know what I'm saying? This is my favorite food right now. And it makes no sense. I don't know where it came from. It's so random and it's so out of the blue that it makes me think I'm pregnant. And I'm not. I don't, I mean... No, I'm not. I'm actually not because I'm on my period.

Chapter 2: What is Emma's current favorite food?
It was a slug all intertwined in the pre-washed, pre-cut broccoli. If I had found that in broccoli that I bought from a farmer's market, it'd be a bummer. It would make me uncomfortable. It disgusts me. But there's something about the fact that if I was not the freak that I am and I didn't feel the need to
clean broccoli and cut broccoli extra and get it into perfect pieces that I wouldn't have found it. And I would have potentially eaten part of a snail that was wrapped in my broccoli piece. Um, that made me, that has traumatized me. It has completely traumatized me. And what's even worse is I tried to cut it off. I don't like wasting food. Okay.
So I tried to cut off what I thought was the piece where the snail was in and I just threw it away. And I proceeded to steam the broccoli. I took the broccoli out of the steamer. And as I'm pouring it out into a bowl, I noticed the piece that the slug was in. And you might be asking, Emma, how do you know which one it was?
Because there was more slug that had now steamed and like expanded into, I can't, I can't, I can't. I am already a bit of a picky eater. I'm a bit particular about food. This occurrence has completely put me off broccoli. It's heartbreaking because it's my favorite. But I was so disgusted by this. And what's impressive is I actually...
I picked out that piece that had the little slug on it or whatever, threw it out, and I proceeded to eat the rest of the broccoli after really carefully looking at the rest of the pieces. But this has traumatized me and scarred me so deeply that I've really had a hard time eating vegetables since. I'm just afraid of something hiding inside of my vegetable. I'm disgusted.
This sort of happened to me a while ago with raspberries too, where I found like a little caterpillar inside of a raspberry. And ever since then, I cannot eat raspberries without looking inside of every single one, right? This is just who I am, okay? I don't like eating bugs and I get grossed out easily and then I just can't eat something for like months and months.
But I know the importance of eating vegetables and I feel good when I eat vegetables and I actually enjoy vegetables, right? But because I'm so put off by them right now, I've had to get creative. And it's actually hilarious because I almost feel like I'm my own mother.
You know, when like moms will sneak vegetables into their kids' food so their kids will eat vegetables by like blending it up into something or like putting it in pasta and mixing it up with sauce so that you can barely see that there's vegetables in there. Like, you know what I mean? Yeah. That's literally what I have to do with myself these days.
And so recently, my favorite go-to vegetable to just add to anything I can to get vegetables in is peas and carrots. Yep, peas and carrots. I will put steamed peas and carrots into anything. My favorite is if I'm making a pasta dish, a little bit of peas, a little bit of carrots, add it in. Honestly, delicious, by the way, like genuinely delicious. But it's just, it's like, it's so fucked up.
