One of my old roommates was from the Czech Republic and had a secret addiction to Lil’ Smokies. Since I was eating meat at the time, I would happily indulge her cravings. We could go through a pack a night sometimes. And hate ourselves in the morning.

Artichoke dip
Puff pastry anything
Marinated shrip

Chik’n bix and cheezeballs on New Years Eve. Quite the midwest delight.
