Midnight Snacks: Junk & Comfort Foods

[geolarson2]

So I figured, after digging through cupboards looking for something to snack on, it might be interesting to start a thread where snacks are the topic. This could be chips/crisps, cookies/biscuits, or made meals like meat loaf. It could also be what you like on your sandwich or pizza, or whatever.

For myself, today I was looking for a bag of Buffalo Bleu flavoured chips which I knew was long gone. Still, I had that hankering and went a-lookin' anyway. Instead, I had a some blueberry yogurt.

I have a problem sometimes with my "Midnight" snacks.Usually in the mood for soemthing when I watch a movie.Alot of the time it would be anything from popcorn to chips and since I have a Sam's Club card there were times I would buy candy,etc in bulk. One of my favorite things to pick up was Grandma's Peanut Butter cookies.Of course over time those midnight snacking end up putting a good size bulk on me.Now I'm trying to lose or at least scale back that bad habit.

My biggest craving is French baguette rolls with lots of cheese - any kind of cheese as I'm "experimenting" with new ones lately. I often pound down several rolls, a 1/4 pound of cheese, and 2-3 glasses of wine between 10:00 PM and 2:00 AM when I finally get into bed. Thank goodness I do 60-90 minutes of cardio at my gym six days a week!

I love baguettes! I used to live across the street from a little family-owned grocer who made fresh sour dough baguettes everyday (and this was in the SF Bay Area, so we're talking the really good type of sour dough). I'd just rip a hunk off an eat it warm from the oven on the way home. They also made really good ham or turkey lavosh and turkey pesto sandwiches on their own rolls. Mmm-mmm good! I can't drink wine anymore (or alcohol of any type), but find that a cranberry-blueberry blend comes close to a decent merlot in taste (or maybe I'm just fooling myself?), but with a little havarti its a really nice way to calm down and enjoy the simple things.

Well, I live in The Bay Area now so maybe we experienced the same sour dough baguettes at one time.

Whenever I'm feeling down or sick, I get a hankering for McDonald's cheeseburgers, and it has to be McD's cheeseburgers. It isn't that they're really great, but rather something that goes back to when I was little so they're something of a security blanket for me, I guess
