JFF- CHOCOPHILES, Etc

Sushi.

If someone ate all the sushi without sharing, I'd be pissed. Not whopping pissed, not wake-you-up-in-the-middle-of-the-night-pissed (I think someone would have to attack my mother to get me going like that), but certainly it would warrant a hands on the hips, good Russian guilt trip.

Stinky cheese is a valuable commodity around these parts. Oh, as is Italian dry salami, or prosciutto and melon so long as we're on topic, though we haven't done that in a LONG while.

I'm hugely addicted to my coffee, but I'm the only one in the house who drinks the stuff, so no concern there. When I run out of coffee and find an empty jar in the morning (SOB!!) I have only myself to blame. And maybe that's when I get whopping mad (imagine me whipping myself in the kitchen, I! Forgot! To! Buy! Coffee! Pain, suffering, DESPAIR!!)

I've gnawed off my husband's ear over him not leaving me creamer for the next day - at least a few hundred times.

Reeds Ginger brew - but that's more my husband's thing.

Those little salty packs of dried seaweed.

And when I was pregnant, raw tofu and chocolate cake (weird, I know) were my fightin' foods.

Rainier cherries. I can only get them a couple of months out of the year, and if anyone dare touch them, grrrrrrrr!!

I m cracking up right now with images of you waking your kids up in the middle of the night "who ate my crispy spinach salad with balsamic vinegarette?????". I think I would wake my kids up for eating spinach in the middle of the night too... to throw them a party I'd be so happy.
I like a lot of foods but none so much that I would hide them or not share... Ihave a mantra about food - "I will see that again". It helps take away the desparateness of needing to devour something or binge, like its the last time you'll ever see pizza/chocolate/etc again.
That said, there is a giant bag of skittles I'm slowly working through on the top shelf of pantry right now that I have not technically advertised to anyone else in the household.

There are a lot of things on my list. I hide them from my kids so no need to wake them up in the middle of the night and throttle them. :)

I usually still share with everyone but I need to have control over knowing the inventory. Hope that makes sense.

Highest on the list is Little Debbie Zebra Cakes. God knows why but I love them.

I love a lot of the stuff on your list but those are things we keep plenty of so the kids can go as crazy as they want.

That question brought me back to my childhood. My parents rarely bought any junk food at all. Occasionally they would buy a box of chocolate covered ice cream bars or ice cream sandwhiches. Everybody would get one and eat it right away. My mom would save hers. She would not eat it and it would sit in the freezer for ever. Everyday, us kids open the freezer and there it is staring us in the face and nothing else good to eat in the house. Eventually, one of us would give in to temptation thinking she either forgot about it or didn't want it. Bam! 10 minutes later, she would be furious that she was "just going to get that" lol I swear she was just setting us up!

What would I be crushed to open the fridge and see gone? Restraunt leftovers. Anything in a styrofoam box I put in the fridge my husbands sees as a gift to him. But I actually love leftovers. I look forward to going and getting the cold grilled shrimp and noodles....the perfect snack, but nope - all gone, everytime.

A nod to Momma11 and your name, F. B. - it reminds me of the children's book Bunicula. Did you ever read it? It has been a long time, but I remember thinking it was such a cute (and different) story!

At Christmas my husband buys me the cheapo box of chocolate covered cheeries at the drug store. I would be upset if he forgot to do it. I don't ask, but he knows I really like them.

That doesn't mean I don't love Godiva chocolates, but those cheap chocolate covered cheeries are better than any other chocolate covered cheeries I have eaten!

Yup that would be Toffifay!!

They don't sell it around here and I love that candy! That has always been my all time favorite candy. Im not big on candy.. so when I have something I love, it makes it all the more important! ;)

Thankfully we are traveling to my grandpa's cabin this weekend and they sell it there :) Other than seeing family, Im really looking forward to getting me some. It will make the 5hr trip all the more worth it lol.

My chai tea (the kind that comes in a carton). I have given the girls a sip now and then, and it's obvious they take after my taste in things. Not looking forward to having to fight over that. Would I beat 'em over it? Depending on the day, maybe. :P

Can I just say, I love your screen name! It reminds me of the Holy Grail. I have nothing to add regarding your post, sorry. I just really, really like the screen name F. B. :)~ Have a great day!

i have food hoarding issues that go further back than i even know. my dh still sighs and smiles when he finds a 'treat stash' and reminds me that i'm all growed up and allowed to have whatever treats i want. no more having to share them with icky brothers, or icky sons for that matter. and i smile back and remind him that the secrecy is part of the appeal for me and to pretend he never saw it.
yes, i'm that freakin' weird.
but it also stops the angst of having someone eat the last of my treat. EVERYONE in this house knows that what's in XYZ cupboards is up for grabs, but to stay away from mom's stash places.
NB- they're no longer *really* hidden because i've worked hard to stop that silliness. but they're still in odd places so my offbeat need is catered to, and there's no question about what chocolate is legal.
green and black's toffee. i mean. that IS the shizznit.

S.

It used to be a coke. If someone drank my last coke it would really bum me out, but I wouldn't yell at anyone. Just be irritated. I've totally broken myself of my soda/caffeine habit, so anyone may drink any cokes at my house now. I'm also an eat to live kind of person. I just don't get all that excited about food. But when I do have a craving, and I'm afraid someone will eat it, I just make a general announcement that it is mine. Of course, my youngest is 10, so no fear of someone not understanding that.

It used to be anything sweet...and then I started the bakery. I take one bite of each batch of cupcakes, sweets, etc to make sure I didn't screw them up, but that's it.

On my "prized" list...Mexican food (yep, 99% of Mexican food...and the spicier the better!)

Really that's all I can think of right now!

I can't find them anymore...not for about six months...and I honestly feel like I'm still going through withdrawal...Haribo Raspberries. Made my Haribo, they're raspberry flavored gum drops covered in raspberry flavored nonpareils so they look like little raspberries and blackberries...and they are addicting!!

I also get really upset if someone eats the last of the peanut butter.

hmmm i'm ussually good with any junk food, and i dont wake up in the middle of the night for it. as long as there is one kind of junk available after meals, I'll be ok...although if my kid awoke and ate everything yummy in the house i'd wake her up and make her drive and go food shopping at 3am, she drives good for a 5 year old=)
actually i thi k i'd laugh if i caught my daughter snacking in the middle of the night=) that seems like such a big kid thing to do

I get a little wiggy about my tea. Fortunately, Kiddo's five and doesn't get to use the stove.

Otherwise, I'm a bit disappointed if the good olives or fancy cheese I occasionally splurge on begins to disappear without me. And the Salt and Black Pepper Kettle Chips... mmmmm.... (and none of that low-fat stuff either. Full fat, please!) Or leftover egg tofu from our favorite Chinese food place. Heaven. Otherwise, nothing in the house is irreplaceable.

Oh-- a good chocolate croissant-- I only want half, but I do want *my* half!

When my husband eats MY leftovers. I prefer vegetarian meals when I go out without him. HE is old enough to know better. And old enough to enjoy a whopping ala 50 Shades of Grey, if I had the choice. (wink wink).
The other mama - if for real.. needs something entirely different.

Chocolate for sure. Have you ever tried those Magnum double chocolate caramel ice cream bars? Oh, man!
If there is chocolate in the pantry, it does not matter if someone's name is on it or if it is locked in a safe...I will find a way to get to it! I tell my family, they better hide it good if they do not want it to be eaten. I know that sounds bad, but even if I can control my craving during the day, I am a sleep eater. I sleep walk and eat, lol! Have done this since I was a kid, I would get into the cold storage room at night and cut off chunks of my mom's giant chocolate baking bar, which was probably at least a 5 lb chunk....it was so big, she never even noticed the pieces I broke off!
Fruit snacks, gummies, jelly beans, licorice, anything fruity- it can sit in plain view and I am not even tempted. But chocolate....watch out! (I would not chew someone out or beat them for eating it, though!)

I can't honestly think of anything I would actually be upset over. I guess I kind of eat to live, not live to eat. Ive never had much of a love affair with food. The whole idea of this intrigues me!!

You would beat your child over eating your spinach salad? LOL! If only I could entice them to equate that with a chocolate stash!

I don't really have a prized food list, per se (my cravings change too frequently), but I will buy good 'n plenty because my husband hates them and won't touch them (he's the one who eats any stash I might have).

I think Chocolate is my big one. I dont know why but I always want something sweet or chocolaty after lunch.

Mmmmm...salted caramel cashews.....I might have to run out to Costco to buy some just because you brought it up :-)

And I get really annoyed when my MIL drinks the last of my Maxwell House hazel nut flavored instant coffee without telling me.
