I wish I could attribute this to pregnancy, but its somewhat normal for me. DH is going a networking event after work, so for dinner I am having:
-Mushroom bourekas
-Chips with hummus and fresh salsa (not jarred)
-corn on the cob
-blackberries, strawberries and cantaloupe
Anyone else a weirdo like me?

totally! when I was little, my parents would call this having a "colorful plate," just a plate full of random stuff! It was a good way of getting a balanced meal into me. And I still do this--yesterday for lunch I had toast with hummus, radishes, cheese cubes, and strawberries.

Heck yes! And it isn't a pregnant thing either. Some guacamole, red bell peppers, corn on the cob, grapes, stuffing...whatever looks tasty, I'll eat it.

We don't do it much for dinner but I do it all the time with the kiddos I watch for lunch. Probably once a week we just pull out all of the odd ball things and leftovers and let them pick whatever strikes their fancy. It is a nice way to clean out the fridge.
I think in The Babysitter's Club Mallory's family used to do basically the same thing and called it smorgasbord night

When DH isn't home I definitely eat weird stuff. For lunch today I had pickles, olives, pepperoni, cheese, and cherries.

We have "hodge podge" nights where it's whatever is convenient and needs to be eaten before it spoils. Tonight it was ribs, oranges, and grapes. Random meal, but it worked.

@Cole: DH and I call is smorgasbord night too... And now I wonder if it was in my subconscious from babysitters club 20 years ago?!

@Cole: I still call it that due to BSC - haha
We do this every time I need more room in the fridge and/or freezer, or to use up leftovers.
