What's your favorite mid-afternoon snack?

[SallyMander]

(Bonus points if it's something weird that you invented.)

I ask because I'm about to make a bowl of Buffalo Edamame -- that would be edamame with Frank's buffalo sauce. :9

I also eat a lot of Triscuits with cottage cheese. :D

[BOSSHOG]

1. Beer and Porkrinds

[SallyMander]

2. I see you go for the health food!

:rofl:

:beer:

[CreekDog]

7. Porkrinds have been known to contain pig hairs

:puke: :yoiks:

[HopeHoops]

3. Well, my FAVORITE is [CENSORED CENSORED CENSORED], but other than that, fruit with cottage cheese.

[SallyMander]

14. Hmm, maybe you and Lost in CT should get together

See downthread. :)

[HopeHoops]

38. Hey, the [CENSORED] part BURNS calories!

[rug]

4. Prunes and peanuts.

[SallyMander]

13. Together? nt

[Lost in CT]

5. SEX.... nt

[SallyMander]

15. I'm talking about calorie intake

Not calorie burning. ;)

[DevonRex]

27. Uh oh. I'm NOT gonna say it.

Okay, I'm not gonna DO it either, but I thought about it. rofl

[Deja Q]

46. Want me to?

:evilgrin:

[DevonRex]

52. I dare you.

:evilgrin:

[azmouse]

6. Chocolate or yogurt.

whichever is the handiest

[SallyMander]

16. What's your feeling on chocolate yogurt?

I tried it and thought it was a little odd...

[azmouse]

39. I don't remember ever seeing choc yogurt in the store.

I'd try it if I saw it.

[Symarip]

8. Beer

Really, do you need more?

[SallyMander]

18. Beer on an empty stomach

does bad things to my work productivity... :rofl:

[AlCzervik]

9. frosted mini wheats.

[SallyMander]

19. Ooh, I like those

And I haven't had them in a while... I should pick some up. Someone told me they have gelatin in them though, I'll have to check that. x(

[vadawg]

10. jail food is my lunch, usually a couple of bolonie sandwiches, yummy not

[SallyMander]

20. Bummer

Hopefully there is something good to go along with the baloney...

[vadawg]

26. nope the lunch menu here is bolonie sandwiches and two cookies, every day same thing

though i could be less cheap and go hit dunkin donuts i suppose.

[SallyMander]

36. Ooh, at least you have a DD nearby

I grew up in Boston (Dunkies on every corner) and we don't have them in Ohio... although I saw a sign that they are putting one in downtown Columbus! I can't wait for some iced coffee when it warms up! :woohoo:

[VenusRising]

40. There is a Dunkin Donuts on 161 and Cleveland.

The people that own it are so nice! We love the apple fritters. :9

:hi::hug:

[SallyMander]

48. Oh, but that's the BOOOOONIES!

;)

:loveya:

[VenusRising]

56. It's not THAT far.

But let me know the next time we meet and I can swing by and pick up some goodies!

:loveya:

[redqueen]

11. Raisins.

:)

[SallyMander]

21. I am weird about raisins

I like them alone, but I don't like them baked into anything. I think they get all goopy. :rofl:

:hi:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

12. Buffalo Edamame?

That's fucking genius. I may have to try that later.

[SallyMander]

22. It is really good!

It occurred to me because I was craving buffalo sauce and needed a vehicle... LOL... but now I make it all the time. Only problem is it's kind of messy to eat, if you get the unshelled edamame.

Let me know if you try it. :D

[DevonRex]

17. An orange and some homemade popcorn, not microwaved. Triscuits with Swiss cheese.

[SallyMander]

23. Mmm, that all sounds good

We are out of Triscuits right now, a situation that must be remedied... :)

[DevonRex]

25. Since you like cottage cheese, have you ever made dressing with it?

Make it like Ranch dressing with lite mayo and red wine vinegar with Ranch dressing mix. Or you can use Good Seasonings Italian Dressing mix instead, with the lite mayo and red wine vinegar.

It's a yummy dip for Triscuits or raw vegetables. My favorite is to put it on pita sandwiches, stuffed with stirfried veggies and the dressing on top.

[SallyMander]

31. Ooh, that sounds great!

I'm going to write this down for the next grocery store trip -- thanks! :)

[Deep13]

24. apple

It requires no preparation and leaves no packaging.

[SallyMander]

28. The classic snack

I've been getting "Pink Lady" apples lately -- I highly recommend them! :D

[redqueen]

30. Preference?

I like the golden / yellow ones. With some low-fat cheese. :9

[DevonRex]

33. Granny Smith, all the way baby.

[Deep13]

43. The same except without the cottage cheeze.

When I was in Austria as an exchange student in 1993, I got sick for a couple of days and yellow apples was all they had. I felt better after eating them and have been my favorite ever since.

[redqueen]

47. I eat them with string cheese actually.

I ate that for lunch for around 8 months straight. I get into ruts. :P

[Critters2]

29. Okay, I gotta say it....edamame in buffalo sauce does not sound appealing to me.

And I'm veg*n.

I like pickles. Honestly. The big kosher dills. I keep a jar in the office fridge. Along with a carton of chocolate soymilk. Sometimes I drink it cold, sometimes I heat it up. But my afternoon snack is usually a pickle and/or chocolate Silk.

[SallyMander]

34. I'm a little weird -- but I have cravings for spicy food

I would say that's my most frequent craving, and I have to have something with buffalo sauce, or Sriracha, or some kind of hot curry... it's odd. :shrug:

And actually, instead of pickles, I'll often get the jar of spicy pepperocini peppers, come to think of it... :rofl:

But I love love love chocolate Silk, holy cow that stuff is like crack! :)

[Critters2]

37. And now that I've learned that Light Chocolate Silk is as good as the

not light stuff, I don't even have an excuse not to be drinking it all the time!!

As to spicy foods--I seem to have what my dad calls a "German stomach". Anything spicier than (Boca) bratwurst and I'm in the john for hours.

[Fire Walk With Me]

32. Pretty much whatever is in front of me, in various combinations.

I'm an equal-opportunity snacker. An omsnackivore.

[SallyMander]

35. Omsnackivore made me LOL

:D

[VenusRising]

41. Lately it has been Tostitos scoops with Creamy Spinach dip.

I can't have it front of me for too long or I'd eat all the dip.

[redqueen]

42. Mmm... Creamy Spinach dip sounds good.

This thread is making me hungry. :)

[VenusRising]

57. It's all lizziegrace's fault.

She's the one that got me hooked on it. It's like tasty crack!

:hi:

[redqueen]

59. Is it homemade or storebought?

I might need to try this out... strictly for research purposes of course. :P

[VenusRising]

63. It's the Tostito's brand Creamy Spinach Dip.

:9

[SallyMander]

49. YUM

That sounds awesome... :drool:

[VenusRising]

58. I'm always willing to share.

But Zodiak and I just finished the bag of chips, so I'm going to have to get more. I love how I always have either some chips or some dip left and have to buy more to use up what's left. It's a delicious cycle. :rofl:

[Dinger]

44. Fresh Strawberries & Cream (nt)

[SallyMander]

51. Strawberries straight from the Farmers' Market

perhaps the most delicious thing in the world! :9

53. IBTDM

Whoa!

[tigereye]

54. popcorn, triscuits, fruit

I'm trying to imagine triscuits with cottage cheese - that sounds interesting...

[underpants]

55. Aaaaaaaaaafternoon delight!

:P

[Pierre.Suave]

60. I can't say

because it would get the thread locked...

:P

[trof]

61. Broccoli milkshakes

Naw, just kiddin'.
;-)

[Pierre.Suave]

62. Dont forget the Raw Egg...

:rofl:

[Flaxbee]

64. used to be a Snickers bar and a diet Coke - when I was younger

:D My summer internship bored me to tears, and I needed a sugar/caffeine kick to keep my eyes awake.

Often it'll be something sweet combined with a cup of coffee now .. same sugar/caffeine kick, but I don't like junk food that much anymore. An ex boyfriend used to get small flour tortillas, warm them over the gas burner (so they got a little toasty) and then would spread some creamy peanut butter and sugar on the tortilla, roll it up and voila! Instant yumminess, with gooey warm peanut butter sweetened by sugar. It's a good, quick pick-me-up and tastes great if you also have a fresh cup of coffee or tea.
