The Snacking Thread

[nonsensical]

In my office, I keep snacks in three categories: shelf stable fruit (usually fruit cups, though applesauce would also count), protein (usually cheese), and carbs (usually chips of some sort). I also used to keep an emergency caffeinated soda in there; I rarely drink caffeine but kept one around in case I really hadn't slept the night before. But I think I drank it before lock-down and I have yet to replenish my beverage snacks, though I brought in some new food snacks earlier this week.

Those are also mostly my snacks at home, except fresh fruit instead of the shelf stable kind. Also nuts.

I keep a box of assorted candy bars and crackers at the library.  I also have bottled Starbucks bottled flavored coffees and flavored tea in the staff fridge.

Today's snack was cherry tomatoes.

today i sliced a bunch of strawberries. Then added a small amount (all that was left) of my Blue Bell vanilla ice cream.  (but that sounds familiar!)

I remember ice cream....

On my way home from a taxing workday, I popped into a covenience store and purchased a LITTLE DEBBIE Cosmic Brownie. Still a great treat although no longer 25 cents to buy.

To my complete horror, I enjoyed snacking on broccoli today. Broccoli? That's always been on the list of "I'll eat it if that's what my host prepared" so it's a bit scary to realize I enjoyed it. My mother always said I'd like veggies better than pastries when I got older, but I didn't expect to get old enough to enjoy broccoli.

Hey, Economizer, can I join you for a Little Debbie next time?

I have LOVED broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and asparagus as snacks in the past.

I'd heat them in a bit of butter or oil, and some spices and then just leave them in a bowl in the fridge to munch on.

However, later, my system decided that all that starch-sugar conversion stuff was too much, and I had to stop.

I can still do spinach, though!

So, enjoy a stalk for me while you're at it.

I have dared to eat a peach. Organic, of course.

I have dared to eat a peach. Organic, of course.

"Do I dare disturb the Universe?"

Yes. Yes, I do. And I will eat pepperjack on crackers while I do it.

This week a patron has brought us boxes of fresh fruit and vegetables.  Including some great apples!  I've been having them for afternoon snacks.  I've also taken some home.  And a couple of tomatoes.  Would take some lettuce, but I've already got as much of that at home as I can use.

I made these coffee buns yesterday. They came out really well, and are terrific for snacking, as well as for breakfast.

Bell pepper strips dipped in plain yogurt. Crunchy and creamy, just right for a hot day.
