When did your pouch embarrass you?
Hey DcGirl!!!
Girl it happens all the time! I mean you would think I had something living in my pouch. It happens at the wrong times! LOL especially, if I'm using the restroom, people look at me like i blew the toilet up. Lol smh if I'm in meetings. People think I have stomach issues or I'm starving. I sometimes find it funny.
Hmm, I don't think Petunia (my pouch) has ever talked to me. I read a lot about noises and gurgles and such, but I have not experienced that. I wonder why some pouches are more "verbal" than others.
I have embarrassed myself before when receiving a massage...involuntary moaning because it felt so damn good!

I am OBSESSED with egg bites. I sleep every possible second in the morning I can, so I need something I can grab while running out the door. I bought a muffin tin that has 24 mini muffins and I make egg bites every Sunday and then bag them up - some go in the freezer (maybe 9 of the 24) and the rest in baggies in the fridge. The blog The World According to Eggface has amazing recipes but I am not great at following recipes so I sort of add in whatever I have in the fridge and sounds good.
Some I made a few weeks ago: Chop shallots and saute them in some Pam on the stove. Cook up some bacon (or could be turkey bacon). In a bowl, mix the cooled chopped cooked bacon and cooked shallots with egg whites (I buy the carton of egg beaters). Spoon them to the top of the little muffin tins. Add a small dollop of goat cheese onto each one. Bake for 30 minutes at 350.
Today's egg bites, I took advantage of the fact that I was chopping red peppers, green peppers, and onions for turkey chili. So I sauteed those peppers and onions in Pam, put them in a bowl and chopped up some shaved Boar's Head lunch meat turkey, added 1/4 cup of shredded lite Mexican cheese, and egg whites. I also threw in some red hot pepper flakes and garlic salt. Bake for 30 minutes at 350.
In two weeks I am hosting a brunch for some friends and I bought a vacuum sealed container of fresh crab meat. I am going to cook that up along with the tiny chopped green and red peppers and shallots (I bagged them earlier and will freeze them for 2 weeks), and then mix it with egg whites and pepperjack cheese. I think everyone will like them!
It's really any protein and veggies and egg whites, into 24 little crustless quiches! I prefer egg whites to keep the calories down. Others prefer eggs. It's all a matter of your plan and your preference.
Let me know if you make these and how they turn out!

"Mr. Pouchy" (unoriginal, I know :D ) loves to talk after lunch. I'll be rooming a patient, listening for blood pressure and there he goes, making all kinds of noise. I once had a nice little elderly patient offer me some snacks from her purse.

I love that others have experienced this, and I also love that you have named your pouches :) I am gonna have to give that some thought. Kenyatta, I think I did sound starving. I mean, whose stomach talks for an hour straight?! Ya'all made me glad that it was just pouch talking and not farting that I was dealing with lol. I've never even thought about that possibility!
