    Macadamia nuts. I can’t have them in the house anymore. Once I bought a three-pound bag of them, and then I ate a three-pound bag of macadamia nuts. In one day. They’re way too fucking expensive for that, and high in calories.

    So, I don’t buy macadamia nuts anymore.

      That’s me with pistachios. Once it became possible to buy them pre-shelled I knew I was in financial trouble because I can eat them non-stop. I need the shells to rate-limit myself.

        Are you Chrisjen Avasarala? Keeping them in your purse and munching on them whenever you’re in meetings with people you don’t like very much?

      Have you tried this brand? They were a revelation to me. Soooo good, no macadamia has compared, so far. They taste like salted butter.

      Ah, the classic Queensland bush nut from Australia.

      It has taken the world by storm.

      And rightfully so, it is the king of all nuts, without a doubt.

      It has no peer, and I don’t blame you.

      They are perfect by themselves but if you add a little bit of garlic salt to them or some other flavoring they are just beyond belief.

      The area where they are originally from in Queensland has obviously the world’s largest producers, and some of their specialty herbs and spices they put on them just are unbelievable.

    I’m just here to tell you there’s no reason whatsoever to feel guilty about eating cottage cheese. It’s got great protein and fat content. Throw a dusting of psyllium husk on there for some fiber and scoop it out with some whole wheat peta chips or crackers and you’ve got yourself a meal

      Damn you, now you just reminded me of my other goto food…

      Sunflower seeds, pre-shelled, roasted and salted.

      Fuck, now I’m hungry again…

        Yet another snack that does very well toasted a bit in the AF. That thing’s a miracle worker for reviving stale snacks.

    Maruchan ramen and chicken bouillon cubes. I was literally raised on these when my impoverished single mother couldn’t afford to feed us when I was a couple of years old. Sticks with you.

    Olives and feta. I throw in tomatoes and call it a Mediterranean salad, but I’m really here for the salt.

    Cottage cheese and garlic salt for me

    Not trying to yuck your yum, but what even leads one to try mixing these together? This sounds like a pregnancy craving sort of invention. When my mom was pregnant with me, she tells me she would make scrambled egg and mustard sandwiches. It sounded insane to me, but I tried it and actually love it, and now that’s my weird guilty food. :)

      Salt and pepper is normal way to enjoy cottage cheese. Garlic salt isn’t a big leap.

      It actually started off with garlic salt and Cheerios (in milk, I’m not a savage, I promise). I think it was around 2008, I had a tooth cavity, so I was avoiding sugar at all costs, but Cheerios taste like cardboard, so I needed some sort of flavor to it anyways, it just wasn’t gonna be sugar.

      And so it came to be, I very rarely eat sweets anymore. I’m down to 24 teeth now, 7 of which have fillings, and I ain’t looking to lose any more teeth if I can possibly avoid it.

    Pickles. Or anything pickled for that matter. When I get a craving for something pickled, especially when I’m drinking beer, get out of my way!

    Guilty? Isn’t that just basically health food? That was the craze when I was younger anyways.

    Guilty pleasure is like strawberry ice cream with hot fudge sauce in a sugar waffle cone or something like that. Maybe deep fried.

    Oh maybe you are saying that combination. But garlic and cheese go well together, no surprise there either. That is kind of cottage cheeses lot in the world: it kind of works with most things. Dont have enough ricotta for your manicotti? Cottage cheese will do in a pinch, and well.

    Peanut Butter. Put a big dob on a plate and hand me a spoon.

    Like, I’m at the point where I’ve acquired a Vitamix so I can make my own. Which is even more dangerous, as now I can also control the sugar and add flavorings. A nice dash of brown sugar or a hint of Vanilla really make it pop.

      Peanut Butter

      Sayin’ hey to the peanut butter gang!

      For me it’s a big ole scoop of peanut butter and a small glass of milk to wash it down.
