Indulging the caffeine 'hobby' - fresh ground Colombian beans with a smidge of Demerara sugar

*Deep Breath* I like lame reality tv shows like The Bachelor and America's Next Top Model ... and I am fully sure that I could finish an entire bag of Oreo cookies all by myself if given the opportunity (with peanut butter of course!)

Me too! And Fashion Police

Also Twilight is my guilty book. It's so bad but so good.

I like to cook while listening to disney songs and singing along at the top of my voice like a 5year old.

Ohhh they are so good

I have banned myself from chocolate coated popcorn. It like a disaster waiting to happen.

Ordering online produce when I've run out of FRESH veggies and it's not time to go to the store yet...

The prices are over the top, but hey! I'm worth it!...the convenience is PRICELESS!

That's one of the things that I ordered from California....AMAZINGLY they were LESS expensive than my local supermarket here + DEE-LISH................

TiffanyJade, I've trained myself to weigh out 1 oz. portions of chips, pretzels, etc. on my food scale....

I tell myself: " Miss Piggy, it's either this or nuttin, take your pick! "...

But w/the popcorn chips I couldn't do it!...

...I almost went thru the whole bag!

Of course the scale told me it's story the next day...JUST NOT WORTH IT!

I eat em with a dash of salt and a spoon. Tasty and extremely nutritional.

In the Midwest you can't find good ones. Either they are mushy or stone-like. Never "just right"

Nobody beats California for veggies!...

The other thing I miss.. REAL Mexican food. I would kill (okay, maim) for a genuine carne asada burrito. Thinly sliced marinated beef fresh pico, sour cream and guacamole

The way to pick a great Mexican restaurant in SoCal.. Look for a place shaped like a cave velvet paintings on the walls and way way in the back you see a person who looks like they cooked beans for Jesus.

Yer in the right place.

Western Australia (my home) has incredible fresh produce. It's hard to find bad produce here.
Oh I wish I could limit myself with a scale but my mouth and brain are apparently completely on different wavelengths most of the time haha.
I just had a guilty hot chocolate and it was full fat and delicious!

Also squeeee I just posted my first book review

it still needs to be checked by moderaters but I worked really hard on it.

OMG, STOP!...You're killing me here, I'm SWOONING...

For me it's even more difficult, having lived in Mexico for 5 yrs...

I was so desperate recently that I asked my Handyman whose sil was a chef in Mexico to pls make me some " Chiles Relleno "...I've ordered it here, it was ATROCIOUS...

" Slapping melted cheese and cumin on everything does not a Mexican meal make !...UUUGGH....

The REAL " Haute regional Mexican cuisine is a thing to behold and has no relation whatsoever to " Tex-Mex "

btw, have you ever had Tacos de Sesos, or Lengua?...........street food to die for!

Enjoy the chocolate Tiffany! have an extra sip for me!
