Snack foods that you can't have in the house lest you eat them all?

Cadbury Choco Fingers, I only open that box once and it's empty. Also, (probably not a traditional snack food but it is to me) packages of Prosciutto. Never have to re-seal those once opened either.

Hi there. Excuse me, butting in... Trying to get acquainted with this forum.
Not sure which question is the last one in the cue, I'll just pick one, space or deep in the ocean?
Ugh, I'm already mostly in "space" all the time, however, I'd choose neither, I like being able to move and breath freely without being in a bubble, whereas a small one, called a suit, or a large one, called a ship/submarine.

You'll get the hang of it. I've only been here for 6 months, so I'm not expert ;)

A world all my own.
Let's see...
Winegums, chips, most every kind of chocolate, liquorice, fresh white bread and Cola.
The essentials. :)

My answer to the question is "pretty much everything". I love chips, cheetos, chocolate, candy... the list goes on. I try to keep fresh fruit around instead of those things. I'm guilty of vending machines M&M purchases after a long day at work, though.

We were going to go on a hike to a cave. We still would if I hadn't sprained both my ankles last week. Hiking season is over.

Ouch sperry! :( (Can I call you sperry?) No fun! I would be pretty irked about missing out on a cool cave hike! Good recovery. I hear whatever movement you can do without spraining it again will make it stronger.

I will say Nutella. I heard someone call it a "bottle" of Nutella though I would have said jar myself.

Overall the summer went as planned, except my mistress dumped me saying "have a good life".

That would be chocolate. Not a snack exactly, but I don't go for salty. :)

Not sure which question is the last one in the cue

Last question is usually put in the first post, but if not, look for the flashing neon signs in the most recent post.

Or, absent neon signs, the big bold print.

Case in point....

It's fall here, and with it comes one of my favorite things about the season: apples. Specifically, apple cider. Which got me thinking...

What's your favorite seasonal beverage or food?

And by this I mean, something you really can't get out of season, at least not easily and not as good quality.

Like, say, apple cider.

Those Reese's Peanut Butter Cups in the shape of Christmas trees. They taste better than regular Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.

I’d definitely choose to go deep under the ocean; I just watched Titanic last night…perhaps I’d be able to find the “heart of the sea.” :)
As for the project that I wanted to finish this summer but didn’t…well. Last year at this time, I planned on having the rough draft of my second book all typed up and ready for editing, but it didn’t quite go as planned. I’m just a little over halfway through the first write-up. Alas, the effects of procrastination have clamped onto my butt and refuse to let go.
Ah, well. I’ve set a new goal, so we’ll see if I meet this one.

Mince pies. Every Christmas I buy boxes and boxes of the things, but it is never enough.

Your mince pies come in *boxes*?

We have to make ours, here. I don't think I've ever seen them sold in boxes. Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places...
