Association

Thursday the dreaded stomach flu found me.

I finally woke up hungry today.  I haven't been hungry since Wednesday night although I forced myself to eat.

Thursday morning, I thought a diet Dr. Pepper sounded good.  I got one.  Unfortunately, even though I only got a small one, I couldn't finish it.

In my brain, diet Dr. Pepper is now associated with puking my guts out.    That used to be my soda of choice when I would drink one (Diet A&W Root Beer is my other).

The last time this happened to me, I was student teaching in the Fall of 2006.  I associated Ramen Noodles with puking my guts out.  It took me years before I could eat them again.

I know that food associations happens. I have other really positive ones.

What food associations do you have?

On a different note...
