What does everyone snack on during the day?

[smilingcat]

I don't know about the banana guard. On a bike, I tend to take green banana so it doesn't get too squishy brown.

I tend to snack on seasonal fruit. Right now its mango peach, nectarine, plutos, cantelope. Then there are my extra cookies leftover from my part-time business. cranberry white chocolate oatmeal, orange everything oatmeal, russian snowball... and the ubiquitous dark chocolate. hmmm chocolate hmmm...

If I want to be good I try for carrot sticks, celery sticks, cucumber raddishes. AT my office, you will see me grazing on good stuff and yogurt.

At home, tortilla chips and muy caliente salsa Can't live without'em.

oh and on my bike its luna bar, banana, fig newton, PB&J sandwich squished cookies my housemate thinks I'm crazy for deliverately squishing my bread flat. I kind a like it that way sometimes...

Here's one for you. These sound gross...and people either love 'em, or hate 'em. But, LOTS of people love 'em.

In honor of my dad, who died this year, and who never felt more loved than when presented with a plate of homemade asparagus sandwiches:

Asparagus Sandwich Recipe:

1 Loaf Processed White Wonder Break (as processed/white as it gets)
1 Large Can Asparagus (yes, canned asparagus)
Real Mayonnaise
Salt & Pepper

Upend the loaf of bread so it stands like a tower on the cutting board. With an electric carving knife, run the knife down each side of the tower, shaving off all crusts.

Spread the pieces of white bread out on a counter or cutting board, all adjacent & touching. With a rolling pin, flatted all the pieces of bread completely.

With a large spreader, spread mayonnaise on all pieces & sprinkle with salt & pepper.

Lay one large asparagus spear on each piece of break, the diagonal way (corner to corner).

Roll the bread up (other corner to other corner) to make a round little finger sandwich. If not eaten immediately, keep cold and moist by storing in fridge with a fairly damp tea towel over the top, covered by saran wrap.

Feed to your favorite old B-17 pilot.

With all due respect to your dad, and so very sorry for your loss, these sound absolutely heinous!

...and I actually like asparagus (but not out of a can).

I like to snack on candy corn and Peeps with the occasional Circus Peanut to make sure things are well rounded (like my hips)

Did an experiment with a loaf of wonder bread once -- left it on the kitchen counter for about six months.

No mold, still soft and squishy as the day it was baked!

That scares me!

I know, I know...LOL...that is the weird thing. You really can't compare them to anything having to do with normal asparagus. It is more like, all combined together, these ingredients just turn into something else.

It is pretty weird. They're kinda addictive, though...LOL

Kind of like Frankenstein

Hee hee... I went to this thread hoping to find ideas since I'm dieting and getting bored (though it's working -- have lost 3 lbs in 2 weeks and seem to be continuing to lose. I'm using the software from Calorieking.com and it really works for me).

But Starfish, I TOTALLY see how those sandwiches would be yummy, I'm tempted to try. Even though when I cook asparagus (which I love), I usually plunge it into boiling water for like, 30 seconds, with the goal that it should be crisp and bright green when served, and I like it with herb butter (dill or italian parsley, or even basil are equally good). And I don't think I've ever once bought Wonder Bread in my entire life. But I get the gestalt. As long as it doesn't involve Miracle Whip. That's one thing I just can't stomach.
