Question of the Day - Monday, September 19, 2022

[MoochNNoodles]

Happy Monday. I think I am feeling the effects of my big weekend. Good thing I have a free coffee coming from Dunkin and I need to pick up a prescription from a pharmacy less than half a mile from Dunkin. The challenge will be not bringing home a delicious eggy sammich because I'm hungry but kind of want to hurry up and go too.




What is your guilty pleasure?




Mine is probably my coffees more than anything. I do sneak in a few minutes playing a game on my phone to help me relax a bit during the day; but a good cup of coffee just hits the spot. Even if it's made at home. I have some flavored syrups and things to customize them myself here too. My aunt sent me videos she recorded on how to make a good Cuban coffee but I need to practice. One of those would REALLY hit the spot right now.

Ditto! I love, love, love coffee. And I enjoy a freshly baked scone or biscotti with it too.

 

[artiemom]

Ice Cream! Definitely... Some people would say pizza; but that is just a regular meal to me!!

Playing a game of Sudoku in the afternoon while I soak in the tub. In the colder months this is pretty much every day.

starbucks caramel frappe ... i love them so much

Coffee is a pleasure, but I never feel guilty about it!

I think for me it's shows like Dancing With the Stars or the Masked Singer. I love stuff like that, but I know they're not objectively intellectual.

It would be specialty coffee drinks, I don't consider the morning cup with a little milk a guilty pleasure, more a necessity. I am always experimenting with making espresso or concentrated coffee and different flavors and frothed milk. I don't always use flavored syrups because of the sugar. When I don't use syrup, I add a half packet of Splenda. Every once in a great while I get a latte from Starbucks. Since their prices have gone up that has become very rare.

Knitting yarn, because it’s so expensive.

On a smaller but much more frequent scale, choc chip biscuits. Aldi’s are to die for.

 

[lizzie]

I have too many!

 

[margecat]

Diet cranberry juice over chipped ice and...chocolate chip oatmeal lactation cookies. Let me explain: A couple of years ago, I saw these in vending machine-type bags, next to the travel size toiletries in Wegmans. (I was looking for travel toiletry bottles.) I had never heard of them, and bought a bag to use as a gag gift for our Christmas gag gifts. Curiosity took over eventually, and I wondered what they tasted like. I loved them! They are not too sweet, and flax seed is supposed to help prevent breast cancer. They taste so good with the cranberry juice. They are very expensive, though, and I have to buy them online (W's no longer has them.) I know you can bake them, but I dislike baking cookies, and honestly, I don't have the time. Milkmakers is the brand, and I love the way they turned the "M" into two lady parts in the logo! I just hope no nosy visitors look in my pantry...

Cool and rainy dreary days when I am off of work and at home with nowhere to go and nothing pressing to do. Usually there's something in the oven and something in the crock pot for people and pets to portion out for the week. I despise dreary days when I have to be out and about, but when I'm home I find it so cozy.

 

[Maria Bayote]

I have also several: Ice cream, coffee, Donuts, chocolates.

Knitting yarn, because it’s so expensive.

This used to my issue, but I have so much now that I can look the other way.
I love unusual planters for pot plants and really do not need any more.. but still they seem to find their way to my garden.

Knitting yarn, because it’s so expensive.

I have an addiction to yarn.

 

[Winchester]

Cookbooks. I probably have 1000 cookbooks (and no, I am not exaggerating) from general cookbooks to one-subject (pizza, cheese, ice cream, mushrooms, etc.) books. And yet, there's a cookbook out there with my name on it. But I can honestly say that I have used each and every cookbook in my collection at least once.

It's an addiction.

And yet....sometimes I don't know what to make for dinner!

I have an addiction to yarn

I am always telling myself not to buy more, because it’s so expensive and I don’t have space for any more knitwear (I only really like knitting for myself and it’s my only one hobby these days) but then I see some lovely yarn and bang go tjose resolutions. I’ve just this minute been looking at Patons Sierra and contemplating repeating my favourite jumper in it.

I'm not a very fast knitter, but yarn always tempts me. My resolution was to not buy any new, but I've already broken it several times. I don't blame you with the sierra yarn, it looks lovely.

I've inherited a few old cookbooks from my hometown now (mostly put out by the churches and ladies groups) and I love them! But I've also been in 2 used bookstores this year that had like super vintage cookbooks! I did not even let myself look closely! I have a few schoolbooks from the 1800s but a cookbook would be really neat too!

I don't have any guilty pleasures because I am very proud of all of the things I love.
