Mom vs. Pizza

Tonight at dinner, my mother tried to imitate her favorite pizza recipie. Every year, during our vacation, we go to a certain pizza place. My parents get the same thing every year. So, she spent several hours in the kitchen trying to create it. May I remind you, she is "proteining" right now. Every so often, she reforms and goes on a protein diet. The only fruit she can have is berries. She can have most veggies. And most of all, NO CARBS. Or very little, anyway. So, she ate one slice of pizza, and then said "I'm only having one slice because I'm proteining" (or something to that effect). She then said, "I could scrape off the top and just eat that... that's in my diet!" And she meant it. She wasn't kidding. She really was going to eat the cheese, bacon, and assorted veggies. I then suggested that, not unlike meat substitutes, she find a good bread substitiute that wouldn't wreck her diet. She does make a good chocolate cake with ground pecans instead of flour. However, unlike her with the pizza, I was joking. She took me seriously. She thought of the pecan cake. I told her to make bread with it. She said "No, it wouldn't rise correctly. You could make a flatbread, though..." Something like that. Dad then offered to take us all out to ice cream. Mom said that she would go, but it wasn't in her diet. She also can't have sugar. Mass amounts of sugar, anyway. She can have a little. This isn't a strange occurence in my household. The strange diets of my parents frequently dictate what we eat. My mom found out that curry is anti-cancer, and that you're supposed to have it three times a week. Then, at least twice a week for several months, I was forced to eat curry. I don't really hate it, but I don't really like it. She started putting peanut butter in it, and that helped, but still. My own mother forcing me to eat a food I don't like TWICE A WEEK. Now, it's more like once a month. I like curry now. I find curry with peanut butter delicious. But still. Our strange dieting habits take part in our household like a child. Comment question: What strange diets take part in your household?
