    I cant say what it might have meant in the context in which you saw it,
    having no idea what that was, but "OB" is sometimes coupled with "/GYN"
    and perhaps denotes something pre or pari natal as it relates to food
    and/or diet & pregnancy?

    It got started long ago, when OT posts started proliferating. You
    will see a lot of RFC oldtimers using this, if they are posting
    off-topic. Just to keep things in the spirit of having something
    food related in a post. And sometimes, it leads in a whole 'nother
    direction, in which food again takes center stage in posting.

    And I will do it now:

    OB food: Just got cancelled at work due to low census.. Our babies
    are getting well, and we don't have many sick ones in the NICU right
    now. So, I am might actually cook tonight! For some reason, I have
    had a craving for something like pasta putanessca lately... I have
    all the ingredients and I think that will be a good dinner. Plus, I
    have some summer squash that is needing to be used: I have had in mind
    for some time, to make the zucchini and feta fritters that are from
    Michael Symon's book. They have mint and dill in them, if I
    remember: I don't have the book in front of me at the moment.

    We had pasta tonight and it was just sort of bleh. It was a new kind of
    rice penne imported from Italy. Pretty flavorless. I used a small amount
    of ground beef that I got from Winco. Don't think I'll be buying their beef
    again. On the plus side there was Amy's sauce which we love and a good
    Parmesano Reggiano from Costco. But bottom line it was sort of like eating
    mush. The pasta just didn't hold up like the Tinkyada I usually buy. I'd
    try to pick it up with my fork and it would break into bits. Luckily I only
    bought the one box. I won't buy it again. And no, it wasn't overcooked. I
    did try a bite. Wasn't cooked enough so I cooked it for about another
    minute and daughter said she couldn't tell if it was done or not. To me
    that means al dente. She's just like that. Anyway... Such is the nature
    of some rice pasta. They just don't hold up.

    Going to buy some veggies and dressing today for a pasta salad later this
    week. Will try hard to make a small amount of it. That's hard for me to do
    by the time I add a little of this and a little of that. But I have part of
    a red and an orange pepper. Will try to find a small green one and a single
    stalk of celery. I use a Tri-Colore corn and quinoa pasta for that. It
    holds up really well when cold and it contains protein.
