When the craving for a sweet snack forced me to choose between a bowl of gourmet Rocky Road ice cream and a Hostess Fruit pie (blueberry), I chose not to be forced to choose.
No regrets so far.

my favoritest thing in the world is artificially flavored strawberry ice cream on top of warm rice krispie treats
Back around 1980-81 when I was a wee, yet rotund, lass regularly riding my blue 10-speed Schwinn bicycle to 7-11, I once purchased a Hostess apple pie that had no filling. Only crust. A hiccup at the factory produced a pie with no soul.
I was left to be consoled by my Slurpee collectible “rock cup”. The band: Heart. Ann Wilson understood.
that threw me since you refer to yourself as a “lass” and a “dude” in the same post.
but anyway – the best sweet in the world are those dried cherry thingies…Bing Cherry Chocolates from http://www.harryanddavid.com
*drool*
Oops, PC. I meant “lad”. Or, just fuse large-ass -> “lass”, cuz I had one. You know…fruit pies and all.
Nice attitude Jeff, you must live a very uncomplicated life.
*sigh*
Tonight’s desert consisted of two pieces of crustless pumpkin pie (made with Splenda! counts as a vegetable! just 50 calories a slice!) and a low-fat, sugar-free ice-cream sandwich.
Later, I’m gonna have some popcorn.
Yep. Really splurging on the treats tonight.
Today someone brought leftover birthday cake to work: white with gobs of icing. She said she couldn’t possibly eat it all.
I told her that some people lack imagination.
As I rubbed it on my crotch.
If I weren’t still full from dinner (I ordered green beans as one of my vegetables at a place where macaroni and cheese is a vegetable) (and I ate the green beans!) all this talk of Hostess® fruit pies would have me out the door and halfway to the store to do something very unwise to my blood sugar.
The talk of Rocky Road ice cream might do it anyway.
You know the recipe for a great treat made from those, don’t you Master Chief?
Ingredients:
1 bottle your favorite Irish whiskey
3 oatmeal-raisin cookies
Preparation:
Take the cookies and put them back in the package.
Open the bottle.
Serves 1.
Reminds me of when it was announced at work that we were to have “sexual harassment training”:
“You mean I’ve been doing it wrong this whole time?”
dan, now thats funny!
I’m sure many epicures would sneer, but I really do enjoy Hostess fruit pies, especially the crust in all its partially hydrogenated oily-so sugary it’s almost crunchy – goodness.
For later.
I think you may need it.
Fuck epicures. *hic* And goddamn oenofuckinphiles *hic*, too.
Peanut butter & mustard sandwiches!
After I was convicted of drunk driving the court ordered me to pay $500 to enroll myself in an alcohol education course. My request to buy $500 worth of alcohol and home school myself was summarily denied.
You got…..pie????
Oatmeal/raisin cookies and Irish whiskey!
Rocky road ice cream cravings? Next thing you know, Jeff will be wearing a murse.
McGehee–
Moments such as this are for what God invented le jerkie de boeuf.
,
one of your boeuf du mer by-products ?
Shhhh, Bill! If those freaking anatee-may unitics-lay get word, I’ll never get that freaking permit!
BTW, the jerkie is more economical to transport and pre-lipoed.
There’s nothing better than nitrate laden , smoked boeuf du mer …..in my opinion , anyways .
Mmmmmmmmermeat.
OMG- there’s a blueberry variety?
holy shit I gotta try that. I had no idea. We just have family who sends us candy and fruit from that company every Christmas.
Okay. Now my hands are shaking. Yum.
What the hell?
Are you actually trying to go healthy, Dan?
On this thread?
The mermoil, if you will, powers the rendering facility. So it’s econscious. It’s also mild and healthful.
(Nursing mothers should consult their physicians regarding consumption of boeuf de mer. Side effects can include extended submersion, urge to consume seagrass, and desire to repose near hot springs.)
Could be a good hook for a marketing campaign . Get Homer to do the bit , Duff Beer ……sky’s the limit . You would be wise to heed the advice I tried to give the other day though . When you build the pens for your herds , remember this :
not only do you have to keep the livestock in , you have to keep the aphrodisiac hunters OUT .
PC,
I’m partial to the blueberry variety, but yeah. Yummy.
You mean there are places where macaroni and cheese isn’t a vegetable?
I have no sweet tooth. But, this place is changing all that.
I eat all that stuff mentioned in this thread. Don’t like any of it. Just do it to piss off liberals.
At least we know where the blueberries that are supposed to be in the pies are going.
What really is in that sweet purple goo in the Hostess pie?
tw: Hostess made85 pies out of 1 blueberry
two chocolate chip cookies and a mini reeses peanut butter cup here. damn people bringing food when I’ve got two acts with nothing to do.
maggie, if you smear the peanut butter between the cookies and then freeze it for it a bit, I believe that could be a totally viable snack!
I prefer chips or cheese but frozen peanut butter is tempting.
cool, but I can’t freeze them. we hardly even have a dressing room. but that reminds me, they occasionally had cheese and meat and crackers for us last year. and about 2 pounds of chocolate per person.
Ok, but next time bring a little cooler and a couple o’ ice packs!
maggie, are you on stage? I had no idea. May I ask what you’re working on?
How very exciting!
eggo waffles with strawberry cream cheese
um, anything with strawberry cream cheese
ja, a little local opera company, I’ve sung in the chorus the last couple years and have a tiny part in Aaron Copland’s Tender Land this season.
Hmmmm, I’m a sucker for a good cream puff. I looked up their stores, lunarpuff, and there’s one in Redwood City. I may have to stop in the next time I’m on my way to SF or parts north.
That’s very impressive maggie. I’m also an accomplished singer.
When I’m going at least 80mph. And maybe my speakers need replacing. And nobody is around. And the top is down. And, the louder the music is, the better I sound!
Seriously, that’s so kewl. Hopefully you’re having a good time in spite of the hunger!
And Maggie is just being modest. She has a couple of examles of her singing on her blog if you want to listen.
And also examples.
Craig, I warn you they’re addicting. I can’t turn back and I don’t even like dessert!
I was drooling just watching the story about Beard Pappa. good thing they don’t have any in Dallas.
PC,
Yep. They sell ‘em at Target, of all places.
The libertarian’s watchword. When he feels like it.
Maggie, in keeping with the theme of this thread, shouldn’t you be singing in Aaron Copland’s
Tender Loin?
My dessert last night? Orange Juice put into the ice cream maker, which made it all slushie. But, before you start patting me on the back for my dedication to health, I did add a nice swig of rum into the mix.
Interesting that this post produced more comments than many others – and I’ve lost ~50 pounds in the last 10 weeks(that’s 3 stone, for the old English out there). And I loved reading and drooling over many of these comments. Thanks for the vicarious memories.
And home-made bread fresh from the oven slathered with butter and honey beats most other earthly delights.
Austin Mike- How? I have 3 to 4 stone to dispose of and Mrs Furriskey is losing patience.
If you choose not to decide, Jeff, you still have made a choice.
One of life’s little treats: Jaffa Cakes from Great Britain.
Orange and chocolate and cake/cookie.
Mmmmmmm……..
Look at all the highbrows on here.
My low-rent ass just needs two items to create a state of bliss and several cubic yards of methane: One bag of Double Stuf Oreos and One Quart of Milk.
That’s about 3 miles on the treadmill for each, Jeff.
Even I have trouble believing I could eat, continuously, and never get above 155. I’m almost 40 years out of high school now, and over 40 lbs above that.
Somebody stole my metabolism!
Holy crap! That took me six, seven months!
I have been reading about all these tasty treats, all the while downing two Reeses Peanut Butter Eggs! Of course, I do wash them down with some nice refreshing water. If I was at home, and it was the evening, I might be washing them down with something a little less “good” for me, however.
A fine scotch…nice Rush reference.
Wishbone
I followed that link. I’ve got the first three symptoms on the first list and all the symptoms on the second list.
Of course it could be the allergy medication. Damn Spring!
Yeah I’m medicated almost73% of the time this time of year.
That’s what you get for gambling in those British casinos.
