Jim Alfredson Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 ... and you ain't got no sweets and you can't leave the house? My wife is out of town and Zora is asleep. I can't leave the house, but my sweet-tooth is going nuts. I wonder if I have enough peanut butter for no-bake cookies. Damn. I need some ice cream or something.

papsrus Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 (edited) CINNAMON TOAST 1 c. sugar 1-2 tbsp. cinnamon Buttered toast Mix cinnamon and sugar in small container with perforated top. Mixture keeps well indefinitely if wax paper is tied over top. Sprinkle mixture over hot buttered toast. Place under oven broiler. Heat until sugar bubbles and browns. I think the 1 c. sugar means 1 cup sugar? Seems like a lot. I'd always just mixed the cinnamon, sugar and butter together to make a paste, tasting along the way to make sure it's ok.

Big Wheel Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 (edited) I actually have the same problem right now and am eating a bowl of cereal - Honey Bunches of Oats with Chocolate Clusters (the stuff is terrible and I'm never buying it again, but it's the only sugary thing in the house right now) Here's my story of why I'm stuck at home with no sugar: I had dinner in the Castro tonight and felt like stopping for dessert at this creperie/cafe I know that's smack in the middle of that neighborhood before heading home. I passed this place on my way home last night and glanced in their window to see how busy they were late on a Saturday night, as they've started staying open later on weekends and appear to be rebranding themselves as more of a wine bar. I'm looking through the window, and there's this guy sitting in one of their cushy chairs...and he appears to be wearing nothing at all. "Heh, just another Saturday night in The Castro," I think... So I walk in the place tonight and the same dude is in there again, standing at the bar buck-ass naked. There's almost nobody else in the entire place. I turn around defeated and jump on the bus to go home. Edited September 22, 2008 by Big Wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Alfredson Posted September 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Uh... wow I made a PB&J out of PB Loco (cinnamon and raisins in the peanut butter... way tasty) and raspberry jam. It ain't chocolate, but it will do until tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Alfredson Posted September 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 It's probably flashback munchies from all the weed my parents smoked when I was a kid. I don't touch the stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Son-of-a-Weizen Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 I had the sweet tooth thing kick in yesterday and bought a 1 lb halloween bag of Peanut M&Ms. First time in years I've picked any up and they seemed tiny.

Jim Alfredson Posted September 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 What's funny is today I remembered I had some candy corn on the counter. D'oh! Today Zora and I went to the grocery and I'm loaded now: Glazed donuts, candy corn, and pop-tarts. Life is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Wheel Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 I had the sweet tooth thing kick in yesterday and bought a 1 lb halloween bag of Peanut M&Ms. First time in years I've picked any up and they seemed tiny. Hershey's has started making big Halloween bags that contain EXACTLY the bars that I like in them and nothing else: Heath bar, Almond Joy, Reese's PB Cup, and Kit Kat. It took an enormous amount of willpower to not plunk down $8 for a gigantic bag of the things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free For All Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 I was in a Target store today and couldn't believe the amount of Halloween candy in stock. Mountains of it. I had to keep walking. I'm still a fan of the candy corn & peanut combo. I avoid keeping it in the house, I have no willpower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I avoid candy corn like the plague, because I'll sit down and eat half a pound if it's in the house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
