Sounds like hyperthyroidism to me. My husband had it. And it's nothing to mess around with. His overactive thyroid had him hot like you say, he dropped a LOT of weight without trying, he was basically skin and bones eventually, and started to actually fall down when he'd try to run around the bases playing softball. He had to have his thyroid killed with iodine, and is on synthetic thyroid the rest of his life.
And, I seem to recall an female Olympic track start that had it too, I don't remember her name. She nearly died.
Sorry to hijack the funny food combo thread, but I felt I should warn Sonic.
I know, and it IS odd but I'm under supervision by my doctor.
My research indicates that thyroid imbalances can manifest in odd ways that aren't always what one would expect, and as a general rule, while cold hands (which I often have when awake) are one of the hypo sides, and overheating one of the hyper sides' symptoms...it might be more fair to say that your thermostat is kinda borked.
I thought of another one- I like to make a big breakfast bagel (a great to-go breakfast to eat on the fly, later, as I don't get hungry for a couple hours after my morning espresso)--
Its always a fried egg, cream cheese, mustard, tomatoes and lettuce and a protein of some sort (I usually have some boneless chicken filets cooked and ready- or smoked salmon works too)--
I absolutely liked sweet wafers with beer.
No idea why, but it tasted very good.
texans might know this one:
A friend told me that when she was a kid at school in Texas, it was common practice in that school to put Kool Aid powder onto pickles and eat them.

This sounds very similar to a food popular in the Deep South: Koolicles. It's pickles with a packet of red Kool-Aid (usually cherry) and sugar added to the brine in the jar, then left to sit for a week.

When I was 17 my girlfriends family (I'm a dude using my wifes account)had a family reunion in Morgantown, WV and I went with them. One day during the huge picnic, her brother says, "come here, I want you to try something" and it was peanut butter on a hot dog. I was instinctively repulsed, but my competitive teenage male ego wouldn't allow for me to express said disgust, so I acquiesced and surprisingly enough, it was actually quite good. I never had it again and I'm now 45, but I can say that peanut butter on a hot dog is actually good. Your turn
LOL. When I saw this thread I decided I had to post my own weird peanut butter combo!
Didn't read through the thread so I wonder how many others if any have hit on this one:
Peanut butter and dill pickles on bread.
I will say that the few people I've convinced to try it did like it, or at least didn't hate it!
My girlfriend turned me on to it when I was 21 and 44 years later I still love it! Almond butter is equally good with pickles!
