Question Of The Day - Monday, May 6, 2019

What is your favorite midnight snack?



My current favorites are either a bowl of my kid's "Saturday cereal" or raisin toast with Nutella. Neither are ideal choices for bedtime.

The other day my 6 year old said "Mom, did you use the toaster oven last night?" I guess I wasn't quiet about my snacking.

Can you tell it's about midnight and I'm hungry?

LOL
Well, hmmm. I think oatmeal with milk on it

Granola. I make myself eat it from a coffee mug rather than a bowl, so I can't have too much.

Nothing like a little sugar rush before bed time.

Something sweet, cookies are a fave.

Anything fast and sweet, cookies, leftover pie, a bowl of kid cereal.

Midnight? People are up eating at midnight?

Once in a blue moon I’ll wake up around 1 and I’ll share an Oreo cookie with my cat. He gets a tiny bit of the cream filling.

I'm usually just finishing work around then.

I never eat anything after 6:00 pm. No midnight snacks here.

But I remember when Rick and I were younger. We'd be up late and get the munchies. Hamburgers, sandwiches, cookies, whatever was in the house. Rick woke up one time around 2:00 in the morning. He was hungry and wanted me to make him a burger, but didn't want to wake me up. So he purposely started tossing and turning in bed and, of course, I woke up.

What is your problem?

I can't get comfortable.

Why?

I'm really hungry.

Do you know what time it is?

Yes. What's your point?

What do you want?

I'd love a burger.

ARE YOU FREAKIN' SERIOUS?

I think I am.

I'll make you a deal. I'll make the burgers, if you run down to the store and get some Pepsi.

Deal. Have I told you that I love you lately?

Oh, shut up!

And in about 30 minutes, we were sitting at the kitchen table with burgers and Pepsi. At 2:30 in the morning.

(Oh, he drove down to the store. Of course, that many years ago, even convenience stores weren't open all night. But there was a soda machine outside the store....a Pepsi was .25. It worked.)

The moral of the story? Do not try go to sleep when you're stoned. It never works.

Something sweet. Cookies, brownie or pie.

Although I don't have "midnight snacks", I do have a snack before bed. Usually chips, toast with butter or crackers and cheese.

I enjoy crunchy snacks so usually chips. Doritos or plaintain chips.

I don't eat much at night, I normally don't even eat dinner ( i'm the big hearty breakfast type), but sometimes I unintentionally do.
Because of work schedules, the wife and/or I will cook a big pot of something to have for the week. Of course we always some of what I had cooked (usually a risoto, jambalaya, or stew), but on more than one occasion, I started a bit late so we ate at midnight. Dinner at midnight is the norm in Spain, but I can't really do more than nibble at night. Normally a couple of beers and I'm good to go

That's what I was thinking!

I like to have a couple of cookies and a small glass of milk before I go to bed. If I can't sleep and get up again, I'll have a slice of bread spread with peanut butter and topped off with hamburger dill slices and another glass of milk. That's my very favorite.

Thats how I feel about people who are up at 5!

Midnight snacks? At that time of night, I am looking at the inside of my eyelids.

Fruit (raspberry, passion fruit, apple, lime, mango) sorbet ... even at 2 a.m.

Either chocolate, an orange or a bread roll.

That's why you have nacho cheese Doritos stashed.
