I think you all can relate to this.

You know how it is. All day long you have your taste buds fixed to have a certain something you have been wanting. Now for me, this desire hit right after I had hand surgery. Once I was able to get moving around I didn’t have a taste for much of anything except for one thing.

I haven’t had this particular item in a while because I’ve been doing really good on my wellness journey. But this one day, after the doom and gloom of surgery, I just needed that one comfort food.

Everyone has a different take on comfort foods. For some, it’s your Mom’s mac and cheese. Or it could be a grilled cheese sandwich and a bowl of piping hot tomato soup. A couple of slices of a pizza might do the trick. Maybe it’s a big ole’ slice of red velvet cake.

My favorite burger was gone.

And people have the nerve to wonder why I have trust issues.

Dear Tuscaloosa Whataburgers, how yah gonna do me like that?

I made another choice and trust me it was good but nothing compares to the magical mushroom swiss burger from Whataburger.

Apparently, I’m not the only one suffering from burger separation.
