A couple of things that I read lately got me to thinking.
Don’t get me wrong. Not like serious, meaning-of-life type of thinking. You know me better than that. I prefer to keep things of the fluff variety ‘round these parts.
Rather, they got me thinking about food, and how much I really like food. First, Christie was talking about her Top 5 All-You-Can-Eat food buffet items. (Yes, it was a while ago. It takes me a long time to think.) Then, just this week on Facebook, Carla asked about people’s stance on Doritos.
I think it took me 3.2 seconds to answer.
You guys, I’ve had many late nights with just me and the Doritos bag. Cool Ranch, thankyouverymuch. Doritos is definitely, very firmly in the Trigger Foods column. I don’t really feel like I have that many trigger foods, but there is definitely a list of foods that don’t last long when they make it into our house…
- Cool Ranch Doritos – Did I mention that yet? I like them a lot. I hardly ever have them anymore…well, I guess “hardly ever” is relative to how much I used to eat them. I get them about once every 3 or 4 months. I don’t know. I don’t buy them at the store. My husband is my Cool Ranch Doritos mule, so he probably has a better idea of how often I get them. If I’ve had a crap day (and it happens to be a Thursday), I text my husband to stop at the liquor store on the way home from choir…to get me Cool Ranch Doritos.
- Tortilla Chips – This deserves its own category. It’s pretty much all other tortilla chips, flavored or not, that are NOT Cool Ranch Doritos. Potato chips will go uneaten. Tortilla chips will be gone in one day.
- Sandwich style cookies – Oreos…peanut butter cream…chocolate cream… My latest obsession is Country Choice Ginger Lemon Cookies. The last time I got them (um…last week), Jacob actually said “Mom, did you finish that whole package of cookies again??”
- Garlic Bread – I wish I lived in a cocoon of garlic bread, really. I’d just eat my way out.
- Ice cream – Even as I type this, I know that this one doesn’t really hold true anymore. I try really hard to not but it anymore. When I do buy it, I buy the expensive stuff in the smaller container. It forces me to have a smaller portion so it lasts longer.
That’s about it. I guess the list isn’t nearly as long as I thought it would be. YAY ME!!
What does your list look like?
In no particular order:
Regular doritos
Pretzel M&Ms
Ice cream – really any flavor
Tortilla chips
Pizza
ooooh, pizza. That’s another one!
Oh, my gosh, your cocoon garlic bread comment rocks! Had me laughing out loud!
Oreos
Doritos
Anything with feta (lots of it)
Well, basically any cheese, really
Coffee ice cream with tons of hot fudge
Thanks for getting me hungry. :/
Cheese. Oh yes. I’ve toned way back in my cheese consumption, but if I don’t use a measuring cup…it’s amazing how big a “1 oz.” serving can be.
