Drugs, alcohol, and the company of loose women. But I don’t use tobacco.

Sugar (and junk food) and caffeine are my vices.

Have you tried Halo Top ice cream? Very low in calories yet delicious. Also, it’s so expensive, you will eat it like caviar.

Espresso (with lots of raw sugar) and gelato are my betes noir. In a travel show I watched once, the host was at a gelato joint in Palermo, where you could have breakfast consisting of an espresso and a sandwich made of a brioche roll sliced open and stuffed with pistachio gelato.

I’d better not ever go to Palermo.

Cheetos, especially the Jalapeno flavored ones. Could eat 'em all day long.

It is indeed delicious. And precious at about $6 a pint here.

I did about a year ago. I bought one of every flavor so the whole household could try it. We all hated it.

I have often wondered if the batch we got had been allowed to melt and then re-frozen. It was all grainy and pulled away from the sides and bottom of the container. Definitely unappetizing.

Swearing and messiness.

I could be better about diet and exercise too, but lacking a virtue is not the same as a vice.

I eat sticks of butter with lit cigarettes stuck onto the end of them.

My only vice is refusing to admit things.
