Interesting tidbit: I have the stomach of a vulture.  In fact, here's a funny story that highlights both my iron stomache and my additcion to food: My mom used to make the best pies (her crust was awesome!); and once time she made one of my favories: strawberry-rhubarb pie.  We took it home (I lived with my brother and his girlfriend at the time) and ate about 1/2 of it.  The pie then sat on the counter for a week.  Anna was over at our place the next Saturday night and she and I were watching TV in my room (and my brother and his girlfriend were watching TV in the livingroom).  I went into the dark kitchen and snuck a piece of the crust from that week-old pie.  A little later, I came back into the kitchen and snuck some more.  And some more.  And then I ate the entire top crust of the last half of the pie!  It was so good.  I then decided to put the bottom part (and all of the filling) into a bowl and have some ice cream.  So I turned on the light and, to my shock, the pie filling was completely covered with 1/4"-thick mold!  Yikes!  And no food poisoning!  Pretty gross, huh?
