I developed some strange cravings during pregnancy, too.  Beans, much to my
surprise.  I had hated them before I got pregnant.  And the change in my
preferences was permanent.  I eat lots more beans now.

I talked with the company I'd bought my cloak from about lining, and the
person said that after years for experimentation they decided that it was
preferable not to line the cloaks--it didn't seem to serve much of a useful
purpose and any lining they put it seemed to get ripped anyway.  I have to
agree.  My coats always had ripped lining; there's no lining in my cloak and
I don't miss it in the least.
