O I had a total halloween candy dream last night. Some guy walked past me with a bag of mms roughly the size of the 50lb water softener salt bags. I was on way to the store anyway, to buy a Tpain hat, and I went to see if they had the mm bags. They only had small ones (like 25lbs) so I didn't get any ):
.......I love it, and you didn't tackle him, and run with it. Such self-control.

M & M's are good ammo for sling shots. Use them to hunt rabbits (sorry, Wiggles).
This thread cracks me up. Its almost like we're offending packsy-wacksy by our food preferances. Sorry packsy if its offensive.... but I loved m&ms when i was a kid and i love them even more now. Another favorite... reeses!! Oh and reeses pieces too!! The peanut butter whoppers that recently came out aren't too shabby either! And lesplease speaking of pretzels... CHOCOLATE COVERED PRETZELS!! mom makes those for Christmas every year just for me. I think i gain about 5 lbs every christmas just from those little bites of heaven!

Oh I'm SOOOO in!!!! I already know i'm going to be struggling during the holidays after dieting for so long. This might be a way to make me watch myself and not go totally hog-wild on the chocolate covered pretzels.

Seriously, I DO NOT want to get to Jan. 1 with 10 extra lbs. of blubber around middle...no way...no how.

an apple dipped in gourmet chocolate and coated with Reese's pieces. Served on fine china. The best of both world's!
yummmm!
I don't think fruit should be combined with chocolate and peanut butter. I'd pick off the reeses, then eat the chocolate, then eat the apple once it had all the other stuff removed. There are just some things that shouldn't be mixed! LOL! Now oatmeal and eggwhites on the other hand... they go together like PEAS AND CARROTS.
I think Cassie had a good idea, I read somewhere in another post, to start posting good alternative holiday recipes for pies, cookies, cakes, etc. We shouldn't have to go through the entire holiday seasons (there are 4 coming up! halloween, thanksgiving, Christmas, New years!) denying ourselves some of our favorite yearly treats, but it would be nice to find healthier versions of those, or other recipes we could make to take with us to family dinners, so we won't be so tempted to dive into the double layer, double chocolate cake your Aunt Edna has brought to Thanksgiving dinner ever since you were two! - exaggeration...but you get drift!! <-(does anybody even say that anymore? )

Let me ask you a question:
If your spouse said to you that he intended to take you out for dinner just twice a year. Once on your birthday and once on Mother's day. Would you choose to go to McDonald's on your birthday and Burger King on Mother's day? Or would you insist on Ruth's Chris Steak House and your favorite seafood restaurant?

Thats a poor example because I HATE McDonalds and Burger King. Their food makes me want to gag and i've been boycotting them since i was 16. So, no I wouldn't be very happy if he took me there. However if i had to choose between Olive Garden or the nearby all you can eat buffet... and some fancy place with over-priced 5 course meals... I would go with the Olive Garden or buffet hands down. Your example was a poor one because I LIKE m&ms (actually I love them) so I eat them. I do not like Mcdonalds or other fast food, so comparing m&ms to mcdonalds is not a fair analogy. If you were to compare m&ms to the olive garden or local buffet (man i love buffets!).... and fiance was going to take me out to eat twice a year I would insist on what i know and what I like (olive garden and m&ms) over something that is supposed to be higher quality and is preferred others. If you like to eat fancy chocolate thats great... its a free country and you're more than welcome to eat whatever you choose... at the same time i feel that if i want to eat m&ms for treats then again, its choice.
