Ah hah! i see, memories... I remember sitting on a counter eating
"Pream" out of a jar when i was a kid. The thought of doing such a
thing now is pretty horrible.

Yeah, i like the salty dry crunch (what is it? Nabisco? with the
white box and the blue and red banner?). Whole wheat crackers don't
crunch the same.

Actually, i don't eat them. I make my own of unbleached white flour,
or buy "healthy" junk food at the health food store, and i do read
labels (assuming they aren't lying). None of those "Chips Ahoy"
abominations, no nasty "Nilla wafers", no supermarket sheet cakes
(what a waste of sheets).
Well, there is the rare Oreo... but i don't buy them, and only if
they first one's free, kid... No, no, not me, they have to hold me
down and force them between my lips.
Seriously, i probably eat an average of two Oreos per year, as there
are some years when i eat none. If i buy cakes or pastries, it's from
a bakery that uses only unbleached flour and butter, no margarine. I
don't eat this sort of thing often, it's been several years since i
bought a cake, although i buy the occasional slice (opera cake is
good - i never said i don't eat chocolate)
I rarely buy bread - i'm not much of a bread eater - although i do
get it for SCA events - whole wheat pita and lavosh - as i prefer the
taste.
Anahita
who is, none the less, not pure as the driven snow, in fact, i have
to drive a long way to see snow...
