Odd food combinations...

Gotta love when time to eat rolls around.
Especially when you don't know what you eat.
Happened to me today at lunch time. So then you think, I'll eat some pizza rolls.
Maybe not be the best for ya, but it's quick and easy & you know you'll like it.
Until you see that you only have like 6 or 7 left.
So, what do I do.
Eat them, duh. But it's not enough.
So, eventually I go for a little something more.
As I'm sitting her eating my snack, (don't worry, it's healthy)
I'm thinking about some of the other odd food combinations I like to eat.

Let's see if y'all have ever eaten any of the same things...
(I don't even want to hear how unhealthy any of it is, trust me, I know.)
(all images, except the 2 cell phone pictures, are from google.com)

1. Ham & sour cream & onion chips. I'm not talking about the thick chunks or what not, I'm talking the thin sandwich slices. I grew up snacking on this and it just stuck with me. What to do: take a slice of ham, lay it flat. Then take a few chips, crumple them up (or don't, whatever you prefer) and then fold the four "corners" (most are round, but you get my point) in & eat. I can eat a whole (small) pack of ham doing this, easily.

2. Chicken in a Biskit cracker with easy cheese and popcorn. (or just popcorn and easy cheese.) I grew up eating chicken in a biskit crackers with easy cheese, & I love it. But years ago, I decided I wanted to try it with popcorn. It's so good. I even got other people to start eating it. Haha. What to do: take a cracker, top with cheese & then top with about 3 pieces of popcorn (or how ever much you can fit) & eat.


3. Lay's (classic) with ketchup. This one isn't that odd, I know a handful of people who eat this. But I loooove it. And no, the ketchup flavored lays don't count. What to do: you can simply take a handful of chips and either put them in a plate or bowl and just drizzle ketchup over. Or put them on a plate & put ketchup to the side to dip the chips in. Or you can put them in a bowl, drizzle ketchup over & then crush together & eat with a spoon.

4. Lay's (classic) with pickles. I honestly don't know who started me on this, or if I just tried it on my own one day, but I love it. I looove pickles and can drink the juice alone, so I think one day when I was a kid I just decided to dip chips in it. I don't know...but yeah, it's good. And no, same as with the ketchup chips, the dill flavored chips don't count. What to do: Bite of a pickle & chip, eat. Repeat. Repeat. lol. Or, you can dip the chips in the pickle juice. 

5. Peanut Butter and Granny Smith Apples. My mom thinks I'm crazy. "Caramel with apples is better." Nope. Not for this girl. Love me some peanut butter. Although I don't think this one is that odd either. What to do: Dip apple in pb. Simple.
6. Peanut Butter and...grapes! (What I'm currently snacking on.) White grapes in particular. Y'all I just tried this last week. I've been wanting to for a while just because I figured it would be good. Then one of my lovely UK friends was raving about it on Twitter one day & I told her I was thinking of trying it. She recommended it. So I did & it is really good! White grapes have that similar sourness the granny smith apples have, so the peanut butter compliments it. If you like apples & pb, try this at least once. Doesn't require a lot of pb per grape. A dab'll do ya. What to do: get a bowl full of grapes and a large spoonful of pb & just swipe each grape across the pb, enough to maybe cover the tip of the grape. mmmm...
 
7. Cheese & Doritos (or Lay's BBQ chips) sandwich. I grew up on cheese & lay's chips, but in my teen years I decided to try Doritos on it. Looove. What to do: Make a cheese sandwich, as usual (for me, it's bread & american cheese, with mayo, of course) and then open it back up and put Doritos on each side of the cheese. Same way for the BBQ Lay's. 



What about you?
Ever had any of the things on my list?
Are there any odd or unusual food combinations that you like to eat?
Let me know! I might just try one!

Lovins!

The Happiness Project.

Well, I was going to sit down and post earlier, but my internet had other plans.
I ended up having to push back blogging to get ready for the second part of my day; a gender reveal party. :)
Aww behbies
I didn't post yesterday (Thursday).
Which is okay 'cause I'm posting right now!

The last 2 days have been pretty great. (I have to add that the weather the past few days has also been amazeballs! I actually had to turn on my AC in my car today.)
Made the journey to K Mart (haven't been in a K Mart in a good 10 years), 2 counties away...JUST for a dresser thing to put in my bathroom. BUT, it was on sale & I was going to be able to use gift cards to pay for all of it. In other words--FREE to me. Well worth the drive. ;)
Now we just have to put it together...

Today, I decided to spoil myself.
I finally decided to suck it up and go get my camera.
:)
I came out of the day with a camera, 2 lenses, a carrying case & memory card. 2 shirts, Essie matte top coat, 2 poster frames, & The Happiness Project.

What's even better is I bought the camera, lenses, case, mem. card, Essie, & the book myself, with my money that I've saved for years.
For someone that's unemployed that's a proud thing to be able to say.
Don't get me wrong, I love when my hubs can spoil me, but to be able to say that I bought something I've wanted for so long makes me happy.
[reason 1848290 I need a job]
& I'm pretty excited about reading The Happiness Project. Heard good things about it, so hoping I like it too! I've decided to abandon my current book to read it since it doesn't look like it's that long. Seems like it'll be an easy read. Plus, I feel like for the past year or so I've been trying out my own Happiness Project of sorts....with a few exceptions. So yea, I'm ready to read it!

The gender reveal party was great. So cute. I couldn't be happier for them. It's my hubbies cousin & his wife. But of course I was asked about how things are going with mine & the hubs situation.
& I really had no answers since I STILL haven't been to my follow up appt. (I'm only like 9 weeks late on that follow-up) The only thing I can say is the usual, "I don't know, just hasn't happened yet"..."I try not to think about it"...."I try no to expect it"..."my body sucks"..."I suck because I avoid the dr for no reason"...okay so I didn't say the last 2, but still.
I'm not bothered by being asked that much because they know the situation & are genuinely curious. I'm just bothered by the fact that I can't give them the answer I want to give them. I just need to get my ass back to the Dr. so we can decide what we are going to do next. I know, I know..just do it!

Well, I came home & had a glass of wine, & it is time to unwind and cuddle up & stuff.
Busy day tomorrow!
Bass Pro Shop & The Harlem Globetrotters!
So excited to go see Big Blue (a catfish...my name for him) at Bass Pro!
I l-o-v-e BPS!
& I'm excited for the Globetrotters too, never seen them before!

OH! I haven't had time to sit down & really do my blog reading in a couple of days, but I've seen a ton of blog titles about everyone switching to bloglovin'?! Idk what that is. & I'm also a bit confused. I log into Blogger & read blogs that way...does that mean I need to switch too?! Like, is that part of Google Reader or whatever?!
Someone help? Please! haha

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
I'll catch up on my reading probably Sunday. :)
