Let’s see, so far I am _most_ jealous of **Steelerphan** , **whistlepig** , **widdershins** , and **Corixidae**.

As for me, let’s see. Most recently, several bowls of Frosted Flakes. Before that I had a bowl of ice cream, it was some sort of vanilla with chocolate stripes and chewy peanut butter things in it. I had the remaining half of a cylinder of BBQ flavored Pringles. Before that I had my post-dinner two apples. Dinner was corned beef hash (1 can) and fried eggs (4? 5? can’t remember), as well as the two leftover pizza slices (Zachary’s, thin crust, combo! yum) from lunch. Right before that I had a bowl of the soup that I found simmering when I got home from work. Oh, actually between the soup and the dinner I ate a thing of yogurt and a bunch of carrots. And that was all between dinner and a couple hours ago, so call it about five or six hours for the whole mess.

Mine were the potato and cheese variety, fried in butter and onions. They were very good.

The most recent things I ate were a couple of leftover pork egg rolls. However unless they spoiled in the fridge overnight, they weren’t the last things I ate.

Steak on the grill with garlic inserted in it. Potatos on the grill and corn, not on the grill ☹ Only thing wrong with it was that I have been eating the same damm dinner almost every night because I’m on a budget.

Yes I know of the irony of eating steak all the time while on a budget but I know how to plan ahead.

A carrot cake cupcake with cream cheese frosting for breakfast and more recently, a chocolate chip granola bar.

I need to watch what I eat more. No wonder the ol’ booty’s been expanding.

Wow, do I feel…weird…  
I had a bunch of cold, crisp, seedless green grapes. Perfect for munching at work.

Hey **Steelerphan** , where’s the :drool: smiley when I need it?

Do you make those pierogies yourself?

Mmmm. I had a delicious Moroccan pastry–I don’t know what it’s called, but it was good.

I want another.

I had the ever-popular peanut butter and (strawberry) jelly sandwich about an hour or so ago. I think in a little while I might go get some Chinese - gotta get my sweet-and-sour chicken fix - or maybe a pizza from Papa John’s. (pepperoni, sausage, ham, green peppers, and onions, for the record.) But the thread isn’t “What are you going to eat?” so I guess I just broke the rules. Sorry. ☹
