Guilty Food Pleasure...

Gas station corndogs.
My wife doesn't like for me to eat gas station corndogs.
I was once in a gas station in the next town over and figured it would be safe to grab a couple. I ran into one of her friends.
I didn't even get them both eaten before I got a text asking how I liked my corndogs.

 

I’m told this is the reason why many private golf clubs maintain a separate men’s grill - so your wife’s friends can’t count your Tuesday afternoon highballs.

 

My wife doesn't care how much beer I drink. She just doesn't want me eating corndogs.

 

Der Weinerschnitzel's 5-pack of corndogs is a killer. They are almost cheaper than buying 3 at the regular price. So, just give me the 5-pack. I don't have to eat 'em all. OK, one more, just one more. I can't leave just one in the bag, better eat that one, too. There, gone. I didn't waste food and I saved money by buying 5. Besides, they're chicken dogs so they are healthy, right?

 

Convenience chain in Roswell called Allsup's that makes corndogs and burritos and the like.

I ate alotta fucking corndogs (and burritos) from Allsup's but mainly corndogs. So good.

 

I’d just like to denounce one of the early posts in here extolling the virtues of fake mashed potatoes over real.

My Mennonite ancestors would murder you with a shovel, if it weren’t for the whole pacifist thing.

 

I won’t agree to that, but I find scalloped potatoes vexing.

It may just be my memory, MSG and a tonne of salt, but every time I’ve attempted homemade scallops they aren’t as good as the shitty boxed ones my mom made when I was a kid.

 

Flakes are better for making gnocchi.

 

In life there are undeniable truths.

One of them is that instant mashed potatoes > real mashed potatoes

It's just the truth. No complaints with real mashed. But they ain't instant.

 

Real mashed potatoes, slightly chunky, are the shit. Leave the skins on.
Stir in some bacon bits (or substitute sliced up smoked sausage or other leftover meat), chopped green onions, grated cheese and butter. Stir in a few tablespoons of sour cream, pepper it up and go to town.

 

I used to have a fondness for Sara Lee Cherry Cheesecakes. They weren't especially large and relatively inexpensive.

I don't know if they quit making them or what but they became impossible to find.

My feeling fat, think I'm going to knock out a dessert is now a frozen key lime pie, any brand.

I haven't had any in over a year because a) pandemic and b) I'm trying to reduce.

 

Speaking of gas station food ... Picadilly Pizza was a hit in college.
And I found 3 frozen burritos in my deep freezer. Green Chili & Bean. Threw those bad boys in the oven and threw some cheddar & hot sauce on top and ate 2.5 of them for lunch.
I was painting the inside of the porcelain around midnight and cursing my life.
