Caramel Frech Toast

I will now divulge a secret. I am extraordinarily susceptible to subliminal messaging... Especially about food. I did not even realize this about myself until one day I found myself with an overwhelming craving for caramel french toast. Quite a specific dish. I make french toast pretty often, but I wanted homemade caramel sauce on it.

As I sat eating my delicious breakfast, I noticed a can of spray paint on my table (I had been making hundreds of Harry Potter wands for Halloween). The color of the spray paint was Warm Caramel.

Another time I had this weird urge to bake sugar cookies with pink frosting and sprinkles, you know, like those famous ones. I don't even like sugar cookies, and they are kind of a pain to make. The urge persisted, and as I was wrapping up a plate of cookies with plastic wrap I noticed the box of plastic wrap had PINK COOKIES WITH SPRINKLES!

This issue is a little out of control. I have made dishes I read about in books. I definitely can't watch the cooking channel with my husband. If someone tells me about something they ate or made I want to have some too.

Advertising is everywhere, and it's winning.

Have you ever found yourself swayed by advertising or messaging and didn't realize it until after? I'd love to know I'm not the only one...
