My 7 deadly edible sins....

  1. I love to wake up early on Saturdays and make a day of it. I go to the bookstore for a few hours, listen to music and read to my hearts content. As a treat for the long week and life to come I saunter in to La Madeleine. The cashiers/servers know me and immediately load my tray with Chicken Friand (mushroom sauce on the side) and Sacher Torte (SINFUL is an understatement) oh my, as if this is not enough they have the nyamiest bread. I normally get the wheat and theeeeeeeeeen the orange spread which is oh so like orange marmalade….2DIE4!!!
  2. This one is off the radar, because for me ice-cream elicits oh so many emotions and helps to mask many as well. Ok on Sunday go to church at 11 and then for ice-cream…rain or shine...much much better when its’ raining that way I can play in the rain. I know, weird. But Cold Stone Creamery. They mix the ice-cream to your taste…you get to pick what flavor you’d like and they scoop it, place it on the slab put your condiment choices in and mix away at your delight. I like strawberry cheesecake with a hint of mint…
  3. Cheesecake…I like strawberry or cherry flavored. For this I can’t make up my mind where I like it from. I think I’ll partake in any as long as it’s moist and has the fruit almost careening off the sides. This indulgement with a tall glass of cold water or coke…no words man!
  4. Another weird one is flat coke. It has to be cold and not overly flat but just right. I have a bottle in the fridge right now and can’t wait to indulge once lent is over. So you know how Americans put too much ice in drinks…doesn’t work for flat coke. The ice takes away from the rush. Yes, I’m a bonafide coca cola junkie. So much so that I’ve massive headaches every time I try to kick the habit.
  5. Kettle cooked potato chips…has to be lays for me. I like any of the flavors but my absolute fave is the original because they taste like ‘crisps’. So with this I get a great movie and or book (oft movie coz then my hands don’t have to leave the smudges on book. I’m anal about my books…I like for them to remain almost as new as bought). Anyway, Betty Crocker tub of strawberry or vanilla icing as the dip and life becomes BLISSFUL man.
  6. Ferrero Rocher or Lindt chocolates…heavenly. Either melts in your mouth leaving you either dazed by the experience or in ecstasy. I really don’t have words to describe the explosion without sexual innuendos so I’ll stop here. Actually I like most any chocolate. I like to get an assorted box and sit with a friend and sample the contents. Some of my fond moments have been spent sipping on some port or wine and biting half a piece of candy as I pass it on to friend and we talk and last…and then there are those sinful chocolate covered strawberries…wololo!!!
  7. On a cold rainy/snowy/icy night hot chocolate has to be the absolute best delight. That with ginger snap biscuits/cookies. So with the hot chocolate securely cupped between you knees you ever so deliberately dip the biscuit into the steaming cup…not for too long coz ginger snaps are almost always thin and thus fragile. As the delectable bits melt into your mouth lay back and enjoy. I really truly make a spectacle of this…light the candles turn on the red light pop in a great movie/documentary and the mood is set. Or if I get out of the house go to my special restaurant and get a cup of white hot chocolate…nyaaaaaaaaaamie. And they have the wickedest desserts.

There are only seven slots so the warm strawberry cream oatmeal, or oatmeal cereal/basic 4 cereal/weetabix with cold milk or Indian cuisine or vege fried rice (extra spicy) with pineapple chunks or chips and sausage or….the list is endless man!
