Mmmm...Food


Now, the story in my family goes, that when I was little, about 2 or so, I'd get the shakes when I'd see Peppermint Patties - they were my favorite. So, when you've got a young'un and you're on your way home after sitting in weather-related traffic for 2 hours and are hungry, and you pass a Burger King, you figure, "I'll get a salad." Which wasn't bad. But then you see your favorite word: "NEW!" and get suckered in to purchasing a York Peppermint Pie. And I have to say, I forsee myself making a detour to the BK in between the sitter's house and my house just to get a few more slices of this stuff. It was incredibly tasty - for a fast food dessert that is. Hey, for .99, you can't go wrong.

And then when you're on your way to work and realize that you haven't eaten anything much in the last 12-14 hours, McDonald's looks good. And again, the siren song of "NEW!" calls you. And you order a McSkillet Burrito. I like breakfast burritos. I like that my egg, cheese and other variables are snug in a little pocket for me to consume. The combo of egg, sausage, cheese, potato, pepper and hot sauce is a definite waker-upper. Delish.

Ooh, the forbidden territory. I have had a snickers pie like this and enjoyed it, even though I knew it was so wrong even while it was so right.

Kerry - Hey, food is my life. I live to eat.

Cakespy - I'm all about the guilty pleasures while eating. And as much as I'm a foodie, I'm not a snob - bring on the cheap goodies!

Maureen - Oh...you do need to go find it then. They're delish. Just minty enough and not overly-cheesecake-y cloying like the sundae pie they offer.
