| I know we all have guilty pleasures that we endulge in every now and again or for some of us on a regular basis (myself included). What is your weakness? Is it that bar of Michel Cluizel stashed in your desk drawer that you sneak peaks of? How about the piece of petit basque you've been savoring after dinner?
Mine (for this week): Fresh baked sea salt ciabatta with EVOO and pepper...it makes my eyes roll to the back of my head it's that good | | |

You know I love that organic cooking I always ask for more And they call me Mr. Natural On down to the health food store I only eat good sea salt White sugar don't touch my lips And my friends is always Begging me to take them On macrobiotic trips Yes, they are Oh, but at night I stake out my strongbox That I keep under lock and key And I take it off to my closet Where nobody else can see I open that door so slowly Take a peek up north and south Then I pull out a Hostess Twinkie And I pop it in my mouth Yeah, in the daytime I'm Mr. Natural Just as healthy as I can be But at night I'm a junk food junkie Good lord have pity on me Well, at lunchtime You can always find me At the Whole Earth Vitamin Bar Just sucking on my plain white yogurt From my hand thrown pottery jar And sippin' a little hand pressed cider With a carrot stick for dessert And wiping my face In a natural way On the sleeve of my peasant shirt Oh yeah Ah, but when that clock strikes midnight And I'm all by myself I work that combination On my secret hideaway shelf And I pull out some Fritos corn chips Dr. Pepper and an Ole Moon Pie Then I sit back in glorious expectation Of a genuine junk food high Oh yeah, in the daytime I'm Mr. Natural Just as healthy as I can be But at night I'm a junk food junkie Good lord have pity on me My friends down at the commune They think I'm pretty neat Oh, I don't know nothing about arts and crafts But I give 'em all something to eat I'm a friend to old Euell Gibbons And I only eat homegrown spice I got a John Keats autographed Grecian urn Filled up with my brown rice Yes, I do Oh, but folks lately I have been spotted With a Big Mac on my breath Stumbling into a Colonel Sanders With a face as white as death I'm afraid someday they'll find me Just stretched out on my bed With a handful of Pringles Potato Chips And a Ding Dong by my head In the daytime I'm Mr. Natural Just as healthy as I can be But at night I'm a junk food junkie Good lord have pity on me Larry Groce | | | |

I understand how this could be a pleasure, but why is it a guilty one? (I suppose the answer to that depends on how much of this you down a one sitting). Now, Hostess Twinkies - I understand the guilt there. | | | http://www.sweetandsourspectator.org | |

| I'm with Babnik on the Kraft Deluxe Macaroni and Cheese, but I add more salt than I bet most people could stand. Dunno why, I don't oversalt anything else, just Mac & Cheese (I don't even salt tomatoes, corn on the cob, cantelope, etc).
I've got a hellova sweet tooth too, anything from pastries to candies. One of my big guilty pleasures is the Sees candy Bordeaux Bar and the Butterscotch Squares. Best for me to just stay away from Sees stores alltogether... | | | 2008: the end of an error | |

| I'm so glad I lost my sweet tooth. I used to be able to pound a pint of ice cream after dinner. Now I eat dessert about twice a year and that's it. Virtually all the sugar I consume is from wine. | | | |

Probably not so good but you might be surprised at some of the things that do go with it. Popcorn for instance. Talk about guilty pleasures.... | | | |

babnik,
Taco Bell bean burritos! That is pretty much the only "fast food" item I eat and love . I'll have it with extra cheese sometimes. And of course for me lots of Tobasco. | | | |
