my kryptonite

It's a good thing that only one of these items is kept in the house on a regular basis. Growing up in a family that was a proprietor of a liquor store for almost a decade gave me an aversion to alcohol until I was about 24 (first beer: sierra nevada at Bottom of the Hill) and also developed my snacking palette. I remember when Nacho Cheese was the new Dorito flavor as well as when Chili Cheese Fritos first made their way onto our shelves. It was glorious!

If any of the above snacks find their way into my hands, I turn into a snack eating zombie and don't notice what I'm doing until I'm halfway or ALL the way through the bag/can/package/box! Sadly I can't eat any of these much any more... the whole getting old and having a high cholesterol thing.

One day perhaps, on a lost weekend, you're find me passed out with a pile of empties atop my bulging midsection and a huge grin on my crumb covered face.
