I just had my first encounter with something that is likely to become a guilty pleasure....

Since I moved to the Philly area 3 years ago, I had heard of, but never tried, a wonderful foodstuff with the bland name of Tomato Pie. OMG.

Foccacia bread, with a layer of tomato sauce about 1/2 inch thick, a sprinkle of oregano and basil. That's it. Warm it in the microwave. Think chewy dough pizza without any cheese. This particular slice came from Don Giovanni's bakery.

My guilty pleasure is buying bulk Starbursts from Amazon. A 54 oz package comes every month and do not go stale in the month it takes to consume them. Best of all, my sister's 4 grandbabies who come over to my house 3 days a week get to share them with me and will always remember me as the uncle with the candy in his pocket.

I drink from the guilt fountain daily, and it is a pleasure!

BB, I must admit to being skeptical in the past about your dietary suggestions. However at this time I bow to your obviously superior wisdom! Blueberry donuts to offset chicken biscuits with gravy makes you a man after my own heart!

Jim

And not only that, blueberries to offset the actual doughnuts! This video ends by saying- after presenting several studies on the subject- that if you are going to have pancakes, be sure to get the blueberry pancakes! LOL! ;)

Geesh,
What a boring group of old timers we are. I thought I was going to fall asleep reading through these replies. Alepnull's was okay - at least he's sneaking around.

Mine's about as exciting as anyone else's: Having a wintergreen dip while watching TV.

Maybe I'll get a little crazy and have a left Twix today.

I'll have to remember Billybob's comments next time I visit a cracker barrel--they have blueberry pancakes WITH blueberry syrup. That's got to overcome everything else on the plate.

Mattam,
What can I say, I'm a sinner. LOL I think wifey might divorce me if I started dipping around her. But that might be something I need to try. Just a pinch between the cheek and the gum, at least that's what Walt Garrison used to say. At least I think it was WG.
BTW Right Twix taste better.
Halbert,
Not a fan of blueberries, wifey loves them though.
But pancakes smothered in butter and real maple syrup. Mmmmmm
You want some pancakes with your syrup sir?

Snickers in the freezer. Imagine the joy when you find one hidden behind something.

Dipping? I had to go look up what that was to see if I was missing out on something.

I find it curious that on a forum dominated by males no one mentioned ****. ;-)

Vince,
For a high percentage of us that’s a faint memory. A satisfying poop is about as good as it gets.😉

Or, a good wintergreen dip - which sometimes has a connection to the above. Lol

My grandmother used to say....'we don't drink and we don't smoke, so we might as well eat!' (she had no idea that Grandpa had a bottle of good bourbon in the basement, and never admitted to knowing what he did at the Legion on Friday evenings).

My father used to chew, he also had a pickup we used to go the farm.
Mom, Dad, and 4 kids in the bed of the pickup.
We argued about who sat where, but always real close to the cab.

Here's a guilty pleasure that I will envision but never partake (cheese and my gut don't get along AT ALL):

Go into Geno's in South Philly and order "one whiz with"

Me, I order "one steak with"
