what, no one mentioned Twinkies, with the built-in craving for another the minute you eat the last bite? ---

Steamed crabs. (Of course, that may have something to do with the fact that it’s so much trouble getting the meat out of them.) ---

The new jalapeno & cheddar Frito Twists. I went through six bags of them from the vending machine at work yesterday. They’re addictive, and I can’t find them at the supermarket. ---

Anything on a veggie tray that gets dipped in ranch. Tastes good, but it totally isn’t filling at all. ---

I used to think Sushi was such a food, until a friend and I ordered a sushi “boat” at our local economy-sushi joint. I pigged and pigged and pigged until my half of the “Love Boat” was gone. Admittedly, it did also include beef teriyaki and chicken yakitori, fruit, etc. Then I chugged down a glass and a half of passionfruit iced tea. I was full. It was OK, though, until I got in the car and drove home. When I hit a speed bump, my distended stomach lurched, and it _hurt_. After that, every little jostle was discomfortable. I went home and wallowed on the couch for about two hours… too disturbed to sleep, and too full to get up. Now, White Cheddar Cheez-its I can eat without stopping. Can’t get enough. ---

Rice Krispie treats. And cucumber sandwiches (which are surprisingly yummy). ---

I can eat what most reasonable people would conclude is an _inappropriate_ amount of corned beef and cabbage. Not sure why its this food and not anything else. I eat at the “all you can eat” sushi joint at least once a week and don’t pig out so badly. Same with the Mongolian BBQ place, too. One trip, max. Go figure! I drink lots of homebrew beer while I eat it too, so MAN, look out the next day! 😃 * * * She told me she loved me like a brother. She was from Arkansas, hence the Joy! ---

Cheez-Its. I have to limit myself to one box a month. Really, my Cheez-It addiction is that serious. McDonald’s fries too. Now I’m hungry. ---

My _ladybug_ can eat caviar like I eat cheez-its. We’ll go to a nice buffet brunch at a place like the Bellagio in Las Vegas or the Signature Room in Chicago and she’s straight for the caviar plate… with the chopped onions and eggs and capers and toast points… and champagne. And if it runs out, she makes 'em bring out more. Last time, at the Signature Room, the staff finally said no. Seriously. This is the same woman who told me “I don’t like small stones” the first time I dragged her into a mall jewelry store to look at diamonds. But really, she’s not high maintenance. Financially, anyway. 😉 ---

Either Pistachios or grapes. I think that pistachios have a certain addictive quality, the whole process of shelling and then the mini reward of the freshly shelled nut kind of urges you on to try it again and again. I have never been able to find enough pistachios in one place to satiate my hunger, I once ate a kilo of them when I was in France, mmmmm nutty. And i’m similar with grapes, I just kind of get caught in a grazing loop…its really hard to stop, I even do it at the supermarket, so the grapes i’m trying to buy have been munched by the time I reach the checkout.
