The Snacking Thread

[evil_physics_witchcraft]

SO just made two large loaves of banana walnut bread and I had a slice as a 'snack.' Yum. Yum. Yum.

Normally, when I snack, I have a small portion of chips, fruit or veg.

What do you snack on?

I picked up grapes and bananas today.

I snacked on sliced cucumbers sprinkled with cayenne and anise today.

I've tried to understand the appeal of Takis chips.  HS students have let me have a sample of them on occasion because they enjoy seeing my face contort! The manufacturer describes them as "the taste of fire and a bite of lava to send your tongue fire-walking. Contains[ing] an intense flavor combination of hot chili pepper and lime, Takis Fuego rolled tortilla chips are rated "Extreme" for extreme heat and extreme taste."

Enjoy?

I tried a Takis chip. Needed a pint of ice cream afterwards. Never again.

Today's snack was watermelon. A wedge, perfectly ripe, eaten outside with juice running down my face. I'm not a watermelon devotee, but when the temperature hits 106, watermelon is great.

I don't understand the attraction of such extreme seasonings either.  It demolishes your taste buds.  Maybe it's a prove-you-can-do-it thing?  I'd say it's a macho deal, except that some of the fiercest salsa-eating contests I'm aware of have involved women.

Cheese - any kind of hard cheese. Currently demolishing a large hunk of Jarlsberg.

Had some organic Snack Factory Pretzel Chips

I found a small bag of Nacho Cheese Doritos that were hiding in my bag. Well, I knew they were there, I suppose I was just hanging on to them until I really wanted them. They also make good fire starters, but I haven't tried that just yet.

It is the female students who seem to enjoy them most! Go figur'.

Microwave popcorn, with oregano.

Gouda cheese with Town House crackers.

Sometimes I put chutney on top.

I have discovered that my glorious new food processor, which I love dearly, can make smoothies!

It's just before I've gone to bed and I realize that no treats are here to calm my head, but then I suddenly remember that I have the makings of something that I've meant to try for like a while!

                PATE de la PORC.

LANCE CREAM CHEESE AND CHIVE CRACKERS
HORMEL BACON PIECES [NOT BITS]
SMUCKERS ALL FRUIT TOPPINGS

SO, Open the package of crackers, put a bit of the spread along with bacon pieces into a small bowl. Then, with a small spoon, put a little of the spread and a few of the bacon pieces on individual crackers as you eat them. Note: It is no sin to use the TURKEY BACON BACON PIECES.

Enjoy! These are lip smacking and so lip licking good that a new dimension is added should you being enjoying love with a partner after partaking!

Enjoy with tea, coffee, juice, soft drinks, or stronger stuff, like wine, for example.

I just diced a bunch of strawberries, added a scoop of Blue Bell Vanilla ice cream and enjoyed them!

I have a water melon on the counter. it will be sliced and diced this evening!
