Do you have a weakness you'd like to 'fess up?


Mine is salty snacks.

I can go a week or two.  But then, esp. if I see them on sale - chips.   :-X

I've broken myself of the dessert habit, mostly, I think, now.  'Had the same half gallon of ice cream in the fridge as five mos ago.  And haven't missed eating any.

But salty snacks.  I guess they're my next 'Waterloo'.

   
    :-[

Pizza, with sausage and onions.

hamburgers :-X

That's all, just hamburgers?





Maybe that's what we'll have for lunch.


 ;)


(with pickles, and mustard, and catsup, & some of DW's onions    :))

No, I mean I REALLY like burgers!  :-X

If there's a leftover in the fridge - they all know it's OFF LIMITS!  :-X

You didn't really have any for lunch, did you?  >:(
I hate onions!  :P

My husband has a weakness for cake!  ;)

JALAPENOS!!
Stuffed with cheese
Stuffed with tuna
fried
baked
sauteed with onions
sprinkled on enchiladas (and inside)
sprinkled on salad
sprinkled on chicken
stuffed into fried turkey
stuffed tomatoes (stuffed with...what else? JALAPENOS ;D )
grilled on the bbq
smoked on the bbq
baked on a ham (instead of pineapple)
with scrambled eggs

Ooooohhh.....I'm gettin' hungry!

Evangelist, Do you like jalapenos?  ;)

Brothers an Sisters,

I'm on a diet, so I just found out a BIG list of weaknesses:

Cheese and other diary products, especially ice cream.
Peanuts, cashews, and almonds.
Bacon and other fatty meats.
Sugar and more sugar.
Fried foods.
Bread.
Potatoes.
______________________________

However, I have found some things that are really good and legal:

Lean, skinless meats that are broiled, grilled, or baked without oils. Chicken breast with lemon pepper is now one of my favorites. Believe it or not, lean hamburger cooked correctly is good for you. Turkey and some types of fish have also become favorites.

I replaced some of the tastes that I really enjoy with spices instead of the fat and carb loaded additives that are normally used during or after cooking. I discovered garlic has a very pleasant taste when used in small quantities. It is possible to have good tasting food without all of the fat and carbs.

It appears that potatoes are my biggest weakness. I can have them a couple of times a week, but they have to be baked or boiled and without the butter, sour cream, cheese, and bacon bits. They are really pretty good just plain, with some garlic salt and lemon pepper. BUT, I look at them and imagine butter, sour cream, and all of the trimmings piled on.   :D

Love In Christ,
Tom

I enjoy everything you all have posted :)

<:)))><

Ooh! And coffeeeeeeeeeee!  ;D

Yes!!
Coffee
Java
Mud
Joe
Coffee by anyother name is COFFEE!! ;D

Coffee by anyother name is COFFEE DELICIOUS!! ;D

I get to keep my coffee!

I just can't use sugar, cream, cappuccino, or other additives loaded with sugar and carbs.

I think that I'd be a grisly bear without my coffee.   ;D

Cheers!

Coffee is deffinately up there on the list, however I have to agree with SH and DW on the hamburgers and pizza.   May have to toss in a side order of Chicken wings with some blue cheese for dipping!   ;D   Lord have mercy...taste so good, makes me wanna slap my momma!  lol

[size=10]CHEESE![/size]  ;D

Tom that awful four letter word that begins with d and ends with t should get you barred from the thread!   >:( :P

Molasses whipped up with real butter! We are talking finger licking, lip smacking good. I would guess that some of the younger folks here don't know what molasses is. It's an old fashioned syrup, and the best was always home made.

UM???, now I'm wondering how many of the younger folks have ever tasted REAL butter.

Taste-bud deprivation is a terrible thing.   ;D  It ought to be against the law.

yes, that's some good eat'n - molasses ( or sorghum ), with real butter.

And if you're a laborer, that is, getting plenty of exercise, it's not that bad for you.  Molasses has some good minerals in it.

Real butter definitely a plus on the other substitutes.  But I havta watch it.  I havta skip the butter, these days.   :-\

Definitely a weakness, though, when the flapjacks are being passed around.  

How can you have pancakes w/o butter?  DEFINITELY A MAJOR CASE CRIME.

Thas what I say.   ;)

Molasses whipped up with real butter!

I've never tried that!  :-X I'll put it on my 'To Do' list! Sounds good!  :D

UM???, now I'm wondering how many of the younger folks have ever tasted REAL butter.

Finally! A reason to be glad to be old!  :D I LOVE real butter! I can't imagine not having tried it!

Hmmmm, real butter fresh off the dairy farm. With real maple syrup, on top of hotcakes. Not like what you would get in a restraunt.

Mine comes in a yellow bottle with a squirty top. It wet and cold and salty and very tricky; its more apt to spray people and furniture before it gets to the food.

The only "real" butter I've had (besides the sweet cream or salt-added 1/4 pound packs from the store - is that real??) is goat butter. It was white and slick and didn't have much taste, but hey, with some salt, artificial coloring, and preservatives...it might have been okay!

I feel like I've cheated on my diet just thinking about whipped molasses and butter.   ;D  We used to put it between two pieces of bread and ate it like a sandwich.

I don't know how many ways they sell real butter these days. I can't have it on my diet, fake or real. I read somewhere that fake butter was actually worse for your health than real butter, but I can't have either.

I remember churning our own butter. There were secrets about what to separate and when if I remember correctly. We actually got the milk from a cow, not the store.   :D  My dad was a farm boy, but I wasn't, so I remember being pretty shocked to learn about milk, butter, cheese, and other dairy products.   :D  There were also secrets about salt in making fresh butter. I think that it had something to do with taste and being a sort of preservative. I remember that you couldn't keep it long, but it didn't last long in our house anyway. The secrets to other diary products were in the separation, but I don't remember much. I do remember there were portions that were great for cakes. I believe they called it heavy cream.

I guess there were all kinds of secrets about how to make real butter with various tastes. I simply remember it being good. That was also a time when people were learning about all kinds of illness associated with milk not handled properly or kept clean. It was also a time of polio and all kinds of other dreaded diseases. Most people stopped making fresh diary products when they learned about homogenized products. However, I would risk it if I had a chance to taste fresh butter again.   :D

  ;D

Homemade bread and molasses was a staple growing up on the farm...and ... PORK RINDS...mmmmmmmmmm!
I`ve had both fresh churned butter and fresh milk, its so much better than off the shelf!

Finally! A reason to be glad to be old!  :D yea! :D

Hmm, interesting, bep.

Yes, I 'member the real butter, eggs, raw milk(vs. homogenized) thing.

We use to get raw milk, and the heavy cream from several local farmers.  Boy, when it was fresh, sometimes still warm from having been milked that mornging, you can't find anything today, commercial, that tastes like that.  

The argument was you lose nutruients, in the homogenization process.

But the raw milk or cream were delish.  You can't get fresh cream to behave that way once it's been homogenized.   ::)

You can't get fresh cream to behave that way


er...uh ...wha...just how does fresh cream behave?   :-\  

er...uh ...wha...


Hehe.  Um, what language is that, shylynne?


Well, anyway, fresh cream   *behaves* wonderfully on the palate.

I've only had it from one farmer like that.  It was the cream of the cream, I guess.  Just one pint of it - in appearance it was like vanilla ice cream.  It was heavenly.  Very rich.  You could only eat a teaspoon of it or so.

Animal farm?


homogenization process = politically correct

Ginger bread with 'home grown' cream, ya 'bout haveta spoon...

Buttery rich pound cake layered up with banannas and REAL whipped cream
