Stop Me Before I Explode
There are few things I could literally eat unchecked until my stomach was miserably full. Let's go to a parallel universe where calories and fat do not exist and the only limits on our appetites were the size of our stomachs. Come on, won't you?
1) Peanut butter -- Jif, extra crunchy. I could eat a whole jar. Yeah, I'm pretty sure. A whole jar.
2) Chicken cassserole -- cream soup, shredded chicken breast, green beans, water chestnuts, stovetop stuffing, sprinkled with parmesan cheese. There's a reason I haven't made this in years. It's addictive.
3) Mexican food -- spicy shredded chicken burritos; beef and cheese tacos with fresh lettuce, sour cream, guacamole, and salsa; quesadillas slightly crunchy on the outside from being lightly fried in the pan; spanish rice, refried beans, tostadas, Margaritas... WHEW!
4) My homemade strawberry shortcakes -- Okay, here's the deal. Go buy some Bisquick. Follow the directions on the box for shortcakes. Let them cool until they are still slightly warm. Split them down the middle (don't worry if they crumble, you're just going to smother them in berries and Cool Whip anyway). Take a package of softened cream cheese and whip it thouroughly with confectioner's sugar (to taste) and some pureed strawberries. Dollop on bottom layer of shortcakes. Sliced berries go on top of that, a generous plop of Cool Whip on top of that. Then the top layer of shortcake goes on, more Cool Whip generosity, finally more sliced berries. Drizzle berry juice over the top, garnish with mint leaf. I DARE you to find something better. SOOOOO GOOD.
5) Movie theater popcorn -- no butter. I could eat a large. I'd shrivel up like a prune, but I'd be very happy.
What about you all?

Homemade yellow cake with real peanutbutter frosting, thick. I take thin and narrow slices so I don't feel so guilty. Next thing you know, man, I'm such a hog!! Wash it all down with REAL milk (ours) and start over on the next narrow slice. mmmmMMMMmmmmmm.
