Sounds so good Sue.

With Superbowl Sunday coming up, I couldn't resist some chicken wings and New England calm chowder.

Thank you all for your Cheetos support.:-) I do try and read the ingredients and tell myself no, but sometimes I break down and have them anyway.

Tonight I was much better, it was chicken noodle soup and a bun.

Oh, Send! The mention of See's Candy reminds me of my dad. He would always bring us back a box of See's Candy from California! I haven't had a piece in probably 15 years at least! My dad always had a sweet tooth.

Darn you guys!

During work today my back "went out" (chronic) and I was grumpy. When I got in the car, I thought of the "Cheetos" discussion and stopped for a bag.
Oouuuu, what cheesy goodness and bright orange fingers.

Later I felt guilty but thought they couldn't have too many calories because they collapse to nothing. Haha----Justification.

Anyway, probably 300 calories I didn't need but sure enjoyed. 😋

Once a year (really) Cheetos puffs-
I pop them in my mouth and squish them with my tongue, ahhh extacy! Artificial cheesy goodness. Yum. 😋

Most times the snack I'll have on my 30 mile commute home is Wheat Thins. No residue left on the fingers or lips and hopefully better nutritionally.

Lol - I don't know how you gals can do that to yourselves. I read the ingredients and can't bring myself to even buy a package of that kind of thing. You are what you eat! Nowadays there are lots of relatively healthy, easy to grab, snacks around. The most I can do, a few times a year is chips made from various root veggies, and I think I am going off them. I'd rather have an apple, and dill pickled carrots which are awesome!

Oh dear. Wish I hadn't seen this conversation!

Can't stop thinking about Hula Hoops, now. Not even if I think this through...

Go to shop
Decide small pack too small
Large pack too greedy
Multipack ideal - I can save some for another day :D
Bring them home
Eat one after another until - surprise! - where did they all go?
Lie on floor groaning
Not want dinner
Oh the shame.

Crunchy Cheetos. Yes. Delicious. Usually when I’ve missed a meal. When I’m on the run and in the car.

But, the orange greasy fingers, fingernails, are nasty.

Hi Send,

Its funny that you mentioned your pickled beets because today my colleague gave me a jar of pickled mushrooms with lemongrass and a jar of pickled carrots.

It was a bag of Cheetos for tonight.:-) I will have to try and do better tomorrow.

Don't try this at home.

Having jar of pickled beets needing to be used up, my thought processes went like this:
My parents used to serve pickled hard boiled eggs. Soaked in beet juice in a jar.
Poaching eggs today, I added lots of pickled beet juice. They are going to turn bright red, right? They will look like the blood moon tonight.

Like I said, don't try this at home. Lol.

That soup sounds good Cwillie. I will use some of the ingredients. Not sure how to buy the sausages I might like after all these years of cooking. There are so many different brands and flavored sausages now. I have actually put packages in my cart 3 times and then changed my mind. Guess I will go with the Italian kind available for many years.

I usually love sausages.

Made some Truck Stop Chili Sunday. New recipe. Got a thumbs up from daughter. She’s a very good cook. I was thinking about making it again for the Football Game Sunday. If the weather is on the cool side.

Texas chili is the best, and my family used to make it.

Hi cdnreader,

I don’t know that we have the best BBQ but we certainly have a lot of BBQ. If practice makes perfect then maybe we do.

I hope you get to visit Texas one day also.

Hi Lizzy,

I can't wait to visit Texas one day. I love BBQ and I hear Texas has the best.

Thanks Luckylu. Breakfast for dinner sounds perfect to me. Some days I make pancakes for dinner.:-)

Book,
If you come to Texas skip the Taco Bell!!! AND the Mexican chain restaurants.

The most awesome are family owned hole in the wall establishments. Some not very attractive inside or out but OMG the food is great and cheap!

We have one such establishment near us. It’s a one stoplight town. The best Tex-Mex food ever! Think 1950’s diner that has never been updated....

On Friday nights they cook steaks “outback” on their grill. LoL. You can cut the ribeye with your fork! And it melts in your mouth. Well almost. There is no chew, chew, chew going on. I am not a big steak person either but I usually ask for a bite if my son orders one. I HAVE to order 2 Enchilada(cheese),1crispy taco, rice and bean plate. While waiting for that plate to arrive they bring hot sauce and tortilla chips. OMG it’s wonderful!

I hope your trip to Texas is fun and I hope you find a truly authentic Tex-Mex place to experience.

I've made a giant pot of soup, even when I resolve to reign myself in I still end up tasting and adding until I end up with enough for a family instead of a more sensible amount. Fortunately I like soup a lot, and this batch turned out better than I thought it would....
I browned together: two honey garlic sausages-onion-celery-red peppers-garlic-frz mixed veggies+bay leaves-beef broth-canned diced tomatoes-canned cannellini beans-fusilli pasta
