BECKIE at Give it a Try...One Day at a Time is hosting Fun Monday this week and has us munching on our favorite treats. Hop on one of my brooms, and see what other treats are in store for you.
I want to know what your favorite treat is. Is it sweet or sour? Is it plain or salty? Is it candy or chocolate? Is it homemade or store bought? For instance, if your favorite is chocolate, tell us what kind specifically - sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes not so much. I have heard a lot of talk about Junior Mints, but is it your favorite or just a tasty treat? It can be anything, popcorn, peanuts, ice cream or chips, maybe you have more than one favorite - that is ok, just show us your favorite(s) and tell us why you like it so much. C'mon, what gets you all juiced up?
Well, here's a hint about my favorite "salty" treat:
You guessed it ! Cheetos ! Not those puffy kind, but these...
I love the way my fingers end up coated in orange and how delightful it is to lick it off. Then after consuming the entire bag, I wash it down with this ! Not that diet stuff either.
For my sweet tooth, here's the cure...
Some places are known for pecan pralines or salt water taffy or licorice, but Colorado's Candy Claim-to-Fame has to be Enstrom's Toffee. A concoction started right here in Grand Junction, made of plump California almonds, sweet cream butter, pure cane sugar, and chocolate, chocolate, chocolate. It's not just for snacking. It's yummy sprinkled on ice cream or you can cook with this candy.
Check out these recipes.
Oh, and I'm addicted to this...
...or this...
So, there you have it. Rub my belly and feed me my favorite treats, and I purr like a kitten.
Oh, and I almost forgot this little specialty for my other sweet tooth that my Future SIL introduced me to:
That just about does it.
Oh, wait, one more little item...
Did I hear someone say, "Oink Oink?" Shame on you.
Sh-h-h-h...
You want a nibble. You know you do. I won't tell.
And now, after all those snacks, it's time for dinner...
That's all folks...
One more thing...The Perseid Meteor Shower is expected to average a meteor a minute.
