Feed Your Brain: My top 3 most addictive snacks of 2011:

1. Sweet and Spicy Pecans from Trader Joes (drool) the sight of them in aisle 5 made me itch like a crack head and dance like James Brown every time.  A friend I will never forgive put me on these and I think about them every day.  If you haven’t tried them yet, do yourself a favor and don’t do it! Unless you have a gym membership, trainer and dog to help you lose the weight that you will gain from snacking on them.  I just read on fatsecret.com that there’s 190 calories in 1 serving…now I have no clue what constitutes as one serving but I know its not half a bag which is what my minimum serving was per day…half day.

2. Trader Joes Dark Chocolate Almonds - funny thing is they actually look like crack rocks so my addiction to them is THAT much funnier to me.  I don’t usually like chocolate I actually hated it as a child unless it was a Twix bar, in which case I wasn’t sharing with noooo body. What are they? They’re delicious almonds covered in dark cocoa with a light sprinkle of sea salt and turbinado sugar.  Whoever decided to write Turbinado on the cover of the container instead of raw sugar was a genius!  I won’t lie I had no clue what the hell Turbinado was, I just knew it made me feel good.  I knew it was probably bad for my health but I didn’t want to ruin the fun so I waited a week before I googled the word to find out that it was raw sugar.  I think I’ll remain an addict for the rest of my life. 

3. Le Gourmand Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies. 

When I was living in Toronto I ate these cookies every Friday as a personal reward to myself for getting through the week, then every Wednesday as a personal reward for getting half way through the week, then after a short while every Monday as a nice kick off snack…”getting through a week” meant nothing, it was just a title I used to justify my growing addiction to the cookies, I went from eating from weekly to daily.  The only way I was able to knock the addiction was when the owner of Le Gourmand filed for bankruptcy.  It was the best and worst thing to ever happen to me.  Holly Samsonite I just realized that Le Gourmand cookies were the combination of my first two snack addictions with some flour thrown into the mix (drool).

Any suggestions for my top 3 snack addictions for 2012?

Peoples! Merry Christmas to you and yours! Eat, sip and laugh!

Feed Your Eyes: Kevin McAllister aka Macaulay Caulkin in Home Alone 2: Lost In New York

I just watched Home Alone 2 for the billionth time and for the first time I few questions and comments about it that I’d like to share:

1. Why doesn’t the cop at the Florida police station arrest Kevin’s Mom, she’s horrible! Who loses their child twice?!

2. Why do they sleep at a Motel in Florida, I thought Mr. McCallister was loaded? I know Kevin took his credit and wallet but why wouldn’t the wife have any money on her?  She’s surely not qualified to be a stay at home Mom. P.S. What does Mr. McCallister do for a living? I’d really like to know, wouldn’t you? They don’t mention his occupation in part one or two.

3. Did anyone else think that Susan Boyle was the pigeon lady when they first saw her singing like an angel on the X Factor? I did and still do…they look exactly the same.

4. Kevin promises the Roca-Fella Christmas tree that he would never leave his family again then the minute he’s reunited with his family he runs away to give a turtle dove to the pigeon lady who hugs him even though she’s still covered in bird shit.

No matter how many silly questions or comments I have Home Alone 2 will always be my favorite Christmas movie, nothing beats it.
