Doper Food Confessions

I used to love potted meat on a sandwich with a slice of cheese. When I got to be an adult I looked at the ingredients :eek: I admit that I still eat hotdogs and love them and I just stick my fingers in my ear when someone feels the need to tell me what they contain.

At my preschool we ate sugar/butter sandwiches. That was before people cared if their kids were healthy or not. I made them once for my kids. My daughter remembers that as child abuse.

I buy Peeps, open them and wait a month or so till they are rock hard. Then I eat them. Same with marshmallows.

I eat M&M’s in order of ugliness. I save the greens for last!

I love mac & cheese after it has sat in the pan and gotten firm, cold and oily.

Yeah, I don’t even bother with the sandwich part of this. Spread cream cheese on thin sliced hard salami, insert dill pickle spear, roll it up and eat.

And now I’m craving this delicacy, so I guess it’s off to the store.

Well, you can’t just throw food away!

I have approximately two little ounces of ricotta cheese at the house, leftover from the last time I made lasagna. Every time I go in the kitchen, I’m looking at all the other food, trying to figure out what I could make out of it that I would actually eat…Anyone have ideas?

Diet root beer and rum tastes exactly like a root beer float! And bartenders look at you sooooo funny when you order it!

Substitute it for 2 oz. of liquid in your pancake or muffin batter. Or put it on your pizza* along with the mozzarella.

*homemade pizza before you bake it, not delivery pizza.

I love those crunchy chow mein noodles. If I’m at a salad bar and they have them as a topping I’ll just fill a bowl and eat them on their own.

I also love Lunchables pizzas. Cold, straight from the package of course. Anyone who microwaves them is a fool.

Genius, I say!! That would make a great addition to the Christmas candy plate!!

Kid confessions:

In my school lunch box I had bologna and mustard sandwiches on white bread. Every. Day. My mom tried to get me to substitute PB&J or soup every now and then, but I always wanted bologna.

Also as a kid: Could not eat tuna sandwiches because of the sogginess of the bread. So, I would eat it in a bowl mixed with chow mein noodles!! These days I can only eat tuna sandwiches on toasted wheat bread.

Adult confessions:

Potato Buds with Niblet Corn (frozen, not canned) mixed in with LOTS of butter and salt.

Hostess Chocolate Pie

I have often said that whomever invented French Onion Dip (the kind you make with dried onion soup and sour cream) and Velveeta Dip with Rotel deserve a Nobel Prize. Those are culinary masterpieces.

I also eat Chocolate Pop Tarts (only Kellog’s Pop Tarts will do) slathered with butter (not margarine…butter!)

I must also confess that I am addicted to fast food. I steer clear of it because I know it’s not good for me but in reality I could eat a McDonald’s breakfast, lunch and dinner every day and be happy. Wendy’s, Burger King and others could easily fit into the rotation. THAT stuff is like crack to me!!! I only succumb to their charms maybe once a month these days, though.

Off to check out this Pioneer Woman!

As I was eating my walnut sandwich this morning for breakfast, it occurred to me that this might be considered a weird food.

Sourdough bread, mayonaise, walnut halves, cheddar cheese. Yum!

Have you checked Villa Supermarket? The main branch on the corner of Sukhumvit Soi 33/1 (by Prompong Skytrain Station) or the branch up Soi 11 a ways? I can’t vouch for Hormel chili, but Villa carries a lot of stuff Western grocery items can’t be found anywhere else. The supermarkets on the ground floor of Siam Paragon and up in The Emporium are also good places.

I have a hunch you already know all of this by now, but thought I’d mention it just in case.

Actually, the main branch is not right on the corner, but on the corner of a little side soi nearby. It’s between Sois 33 and 33/1.
