I’ve often fantasized about eating my way out of a room filled with jumbo shrimp.

Spinach dip. I could eat a vat of it.

Hummus, same thing, especially if its so garlic-y that it stings.

</div>

Watermelon. I’ll slice off enough pieces to fill a big mixing bowl, and eat them until I’m ready to burst.

Then a few hours later I’m peeing like mad.

</div>

Flaming Hot Cheetos. It’s good that they don’t come in large or extra-large bags, because by now I would have burned my tongue (and possibly my whole jaw) out of my skull. I have sufficient willpower to buy only one bag at a time, but not enough to stop myself from inhaling the entire bag once it’s opened.

Wouldn’t the obvious answer have something to do with baby housecats?

I’m not exactly sure, but I think that, “It is known.”

</div>

Ben and Jerry’s Smores ice cream (I don’t buy a pint unless I’m okay with eating the whole thing in one sitting)

Crispy M&Ms.

Pistachios.

Cheetos (the puffy kind - we only get them during games, and we always feel terrible about how fast we polish them off)

Chocolate chip cookie dough (homemade)

Pizza

</div>

Healthy- Home grown cherry tomatoes. I once picked plant clean and had nothing left within a half-hour.

Unhealthy- Cheese-its, pretzel nuggets filled with peanut butter, chocolate covered coffee beans and pizza. Sometimes I’ll a large pizza for myself and eat half for dinner, a few slices for dessert later, and finish the last two slices for breakfast.

Dangerous- Home-brewed old peculiar. I’ve polished a growler of that stuff before realizing how drunk I was, and that’s one strong brew. It’s the only beer that makes me sad when I’m out of it.

</div>

Kettle corn. Like a whole bag in one day, which is why I have to avoid even considering to buy it like someone who becomes Bill W’s BFF and has to buy a different brand of mouthwash.

</div>

Popcorn, preferably made on top of the stove with real butter on top. But really any kind. Potato chips, any flavor except pickle or vinegar. Bacon. Peanuts, cashews, pistachios.

</div>

Combos. I’m not sure they’re even really food. All artificial flavors, preservatives, fake fat, lots of salt and calories. Logic tells us they are just disgusting. But God, are they good. If I have one, I can NOT stop until the bag is empty. We joke that heroin must be one of the ingredients.

Cherries for me, too!

Also peanut or almond butter, directly from the jar.

</div>

Toast, with lots of butter (not margarine) and crunchy peanut butter.

Grapes, the red seedless kind. They’re out of season now so I’m forcing myself to forget the variety.

</div>

Fried rice with pork or chicken.

Spaghetti Bolognaise.

Pierogi.

Ruffles (were you aware they have ridges?) and French Onion dip.

Snyder’s of Hanover honey mustard pretzel bites.

Kettle corn. I only do the microwave kind, so at least there’s some sort of quantity limit.

It’s a miracle I don’t weigh 350 pounds.
