I made the mistake of buying a really big bag of those sugar coated spice drops, you know, gum drops.

I love the damn things.

I've made myself sick on them, I think.

Wal-Mart is bad. ;-)

From Wal-Mart, coincidentally, I picked up several bags of peanut-butter Hershey kisses.

Chips and salsa or the oversized hard pretzels. Hmmmm, maybe I'll have to make a stop at the store on the way home.

The bag is like 20 oz of gum drops for $1.
I think I've already gained two pounds from it.
Made in Mexico. Y2 will be crushed.

Oh yeah, Snyder's hard sourdough pretzels. Love them. But, really they aren't bad for you.


My favorite treat: anything containing sugar and/or butter. If it's sweet I'll eat it. Brownies icecream candybars cinnamon rolls cookies cake.....I do enjoy a good orange slice (those gumdrop type ones).

I have made myself sick eating pistachos. I picked up like 2 pounds of them at the store on Super Bowl Sunday a few years ago. I got to eating them and before you knew it, all gone!

Fingers were all cracked and bleeding as well. What a mess.

lol, I've done the same thing before. I love salty snack foods, which is odd because I generally avoid salt in my regular meals.

Yea! My Grandma had one of these when I was a kid. She always had it out at Christmas. Always wanted one myself. She would let me pick one gumdrop off to eat. Oh course five minutes later I was back for another.

I sure do miss my Grandma.

Baci. It's an Italian candy, with a hazelnut candy covered in chocolate with each piece wrapped and containing a message aboug the "kiss" since baci means kiss in Italian.

Also chocolate covered macadamia nuts. The nuts are 25 calories a piece, ouch!!!! Then chocolate covered cashews are great too.

Potato
Anything that begins with a potato.....mashed, au gratin, scalloped, french fried, baked, hash browned, roasted, bread, pancakes.....I could go on. Oh yeah, Potato Vodka!

Yum, put me on an island with salt, butter, and potatoes and I would be happy.

I made the mistake of stopping for a chili cheese coney at Sonic the other day.


I am not sure what that brown sticky stuff was on the hotdog, but it wasn't chili. I had indigestion so bad all afternoon that I swore I would never make a Sonic run again.......

Pshaw....for a real coney you have to go to the A&W.

A&W is better than Sonic. About twice a year, I like the Cincinatti chili parlor coneys...Skyline is my favorite.

But the best damn chili dogs come straight from my kitchen.

Does Anyone
go through phases? 2 years ago I was stuck on peanut butter, I had to have an extra crunchy peanut butter sandwich EVERY day for about a year! Then it was cheeseburgers for about 8 months, I had a cheeseburger everyday! Now I'm on to nature valley almond yogurt bars--everyday! Anybody??
