What food/snacks are sitting within arms reach of you right now?

[Cadence]

I have Salsa flavored Bugles and Smoothie flavored Skittles.... and a bottle of water.

[GOPisEvil]

1. Nothing.

Of course the kitchen is just steps away. I might get some water in a minute, but I'm not hungry.

:hi:

[Cadence]

3. I'm not hungry either...

I don't know why I'm eating these. :shrug:

[GOPisEvil]

8. I used to snack for no reason other than boredom too.

Of course that led to obesity. :D

I lost quite a bit of weight though, and I've kept most of it off. I have to seriously watch what I eat or I'll blow up like a balloon again.

[agates]

2. The ever-present can of lukewarm Diet Coke nt

[xmas74]

4. Same here.

Diet coke every night. And coffee.

[agates]

6. Yup

Coffee in the morning, then open a can of Diet Coke which keeps me company all day :-) Coffee again after dinner and then finish off the Diet Coke. Lots of water in between, but the caffeinated beverages just gotta be there.

[xmas74]

20. I can drink upwards of one

pot of coffee every day. Diet coke is always my 3 am pick-me-up.

[Cadence]

7. Doesn't the caffeine keep you up?

[xmas74]

17. I have to have it.

I don't get off of work until between 7 and 8 am.

[Cadence]

23. Ahhh. I see. Bummer.

So are you at work right now?

[xmas74]

34. Yes.

And I am pissed that I am stuck here tonight.

[Cadence]

36. That sucks! Well we'll keep you company!

:thumbsup:

[xmas74]

47. I certainly need it tonight!

[TahitiNut]

5. It doesn't last long enough "within arm's reach" to take inventory.

A bottle of Vernors ... washes it down.

[agates]

10. Love Vernors

Can't get it here anymore :-( The ONLY ginger ale I can find anymore is that nasty Canada Dry mixer stuff.

[TahitiNut]

22. I don't know where 'here' is but I could buy it at Safeway when I lived ..

... in the San Francisco Bay area. It's part of the Pepsi Empire, now. :shrug:

[agates]

50. "Here" is flyover country

The stores used to stock it and then quit. I've asked them to order it and just get the blank stare.

[AngryAmish]

9. Cabernet Sauvignon

Keep at hand at all times.

[Cadence]

11. Hey I remember you

how's the sleeping bag? :hi:

[AngryAmish]

13. Still hanging in my closet

I only venture outside after May 1. (Fishing season in Wisco opens then).

How are you?

I am totally cracked up by all the threads I have that completely die. But mention Costco...

[Cadence]

14. LOL! I know that is funny how that works

there must be some sort of newtons law out there that could be applied ... or maybe it's murphy?

I'm good.. you?

[AngryAmish]

19. Actually, kinda drunk

Had a dinner party, and when I cook I drink. Hell, I just like to drink. Anyway, I have shooed everyone out of the house and just wasting time listening to Motown and punk rock before going to bed.

[AngryAmish]

21. OOH, I have a box of girl scout thin mints giving me the siren call

must!!! resist!!!

[Cadence]

26. I had thin mints earlier today too.

Those thin mint cravings are like none other.. I think they put an addictive chemical in them or something. :shrug:

[AngryAmish]

30. I am so glad that they are only once a year

Otherwise, I'll be 500 lbs.

I think the girl scouts put opium in the thin mints. Prove me wrong.

[Cadence]

35. No sir I cannot... for I too believe there to be

opium in the thin mints.. the other day a friend of mine gave me a box and I ate half the box that day... so by that evening I thought well this isn't good.. I never do this, obviously there is something wrong here.. I must destroy these thin mints of which I can't resist. So I drowned them in water and threw them away. The next day I was dying for them. I NEVER do that. I had to case the grocery stores for two days to find the stands out front selling them. So I got two boxes. That was a couple of days ago and so far I've only had four cookies.. so far.. so good. But that just ain't normal I'm telling you.. :shrug:

[AngryAmish]

43. I'm not a big guy

But I can take a girl scout. If one walks past with a bag full of them.... oh, by the way I live in Philly and my name is CalmEpiscopalian. I have full deniability.

[Cadence]

46. LOL. Those girl scout's better get some martial arts

training or somethin. What did you cook for your guests btw?

[AngryAmish]

51. I cooked...

in order

made some guacamole and pico de gallo for snacks.

Then a mushroom 'n' goat cheese tort as a more formal appetizer.

Caprese salad.

Mushroom risooto and ribeyes. One of my guest made this Puerto Rican dish whose name escapes me at this time with white beans, potatoes, chorizo and this Puerto Rican sausage whose name I forget (it was stew-like and amazingly good. I got to keep the leftovers.)

Dessert was... thin mints while we played dominoes.

I gotta say, this white boy can really play dominoes. Very like poker, except you have to know your partner.

[Cadence]

59. Wow. That is quite the menu.

Sounds delicious. Very impressive! :)

[Callboy]

12. a steak sandwich and a

steak sandwich

[Cadence]

15. Ooooh yummm

a steak sandwich would go good with these bugles!

[Liberal In Texas]

16. None, sigh.

But I do have a little half shot of Knob Creek and a little left in the MGD beer.

Ate at my son's rugby do after the matches, some pasta and meat balls, then my wife had chicken when we got home, and after some chips with salsa.

Hungry? Not.

LOL..
:)

[Cadence]

29. LOL. Yeah I can see how food

wouldn't be sounding all that good right now! :D

[Kire]

18. cherry coke and a bowl of hershey's "minis"

I think I'll have me a Mr. Goodbar, right now.

great question

[New Earth]

24. BBQ Chips

not gonna do it!!!i am resisting the temptation!!!

[Flaxbee]

25. super hot miso soup, waiting for it to cool

looooove miso soup!

and afterward, a cherry flavored Popsicle!

[Cadence]

31. Now that is an interesting combination.

I love miso too... followed by really good sushi. Yumm. :thumbsup:

[Flaxbee]

45. well, if I had a choice I'd be having sushi afterwards...

but the nearest good sushi place is an hour and a half away and they're closed at 1:30 in the morning, so I have to settle for a Popsicle chaser. ;-)

sigh.

[JVS]

27. A heaping bowl of absolutely nothing

[fujiyama]

28. I'm drinking

some cheap gas station bought coffee...It's ok.

[Cleita]

32. There is a fly that keeps flitting back and forth in front of

my computer screen. A couple of times he got pretty close to my mouth. My tongue almost lashed out. Just kidding! Not about the fly though. I tried spraying him with Windex, but he's tough and survived. Sorry, no snacks until he goes to fly heaven.:-(

[sundog]

33. absolutely nothing

but I'd rather starve than move right now :7

[Cadence]

37. Wow now that's

dedication. :D

[sundog]

52. I broke down

and made a pb&j sandwich

I feel so accomplished :7

[Cadence]

54. Wooo hooo!

And a fine choice!



Seriously, what would make someone take a picture of their sandwich and post it on the web?

[Nite Owl]

38. Chocolate chip cookies

yum, yum

:)

[Cadence]

42. Yum. Those are my favorite.

There used to be a lady in town that had this business called "Milk and Cookies" You just called and placed an order, half hour later she'd deliver fresh baked chocolate chip cookies and a pint of milk to your door. It was fantastic. She had to quit though because this is a college town and the dorms were driving her crazy. :shrug:

[Nite Owl]

62. She could have given some

college kids an extra job and made a bigger business out of it. It's actually a good idea.

[Cadence]

63. That's what I thought. I guess she

just wasn't all that prepared to grow her business.

[jonnyblitz]

39. orange juice and sudafed

*sniffle* :hi:

[Cadence]

40. Oh darn. Being sick sucks.

Do you have some chicken noodle soup? :hug:

[jonnyblitz]

41. I have vegetable soup :)

I am getting better though. the worst was yesterday! thanks for the hug! :hug:

[Cadence]

44. Better than nothing I suppose..

stay warm and keep yourself hydrated. Your welcome. :)

[Skittles]

48. one of those fruit bowls from Wendys

they are actually quite good

[Cadence]

49. Oh yeah... with the yogurt in the middle?

I was wondering if those were good.


BTW- I tried those sour skittles the other day.. man they're awful and then good. :D But these new smoothie flavors are great.. you should check them out.

[Skittles]

58. lol this is a bit embarrassing

the first couple times I bought them I thought that was some kind of fruit dip and I thought it sucked! Now that I know it is yogurt it is good! :D

I'm hooked on those damn sour skittles - they're awful and I make the worst faces eating them but I am HOOKED! And they are a big HIT with the soldiers! Have not even seen the smoothies yet but I WILL seek them out!

[opiate69]

53. Do Carnival Lights and R&R & coke count?

[Cadence]

55. Hmmm. What's R&R?

:shrug:

[opiate69]

56. R & R = "Rich & Rare Canadian Blended Whiskey"

It's not Maker's Mark, but it aint Potters either....

[Cadence]

57. Ahhh I see.. yes.. yes.. I do believe that counts.

;)

[alittlelark]

60. A FINE red, dark chocolate pretzels, and catnip

[Cadence]

61. Does that mean you're drooling on your keyboard?

:D

[alittlelark]

64. Meeeeow.
