The 7 Deadly Sins Eating Habits of A This College Student:
- Panini topped with Sour Cream & Onion chips (noms x10)
- Eating straight from the pint of Ben & Jerry’s froyo (
no shame lots and lots of shame)
- Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds – dry – after hitting the gym (epitome of logic)
- Rice Krispies for breakfast, lunch, or dinner
- Pizza after midnight
- Frozen Back to Nature Fudge Mint Cookies (better than Thin Mints!)
- Daily square of Lindt Touch of Sea Salt Dark Chocolate (addicted, much?)

I blame my friends. That’s right, I blame them for this habit of mine – ours. But I suppose that’s okay, right? I mean, there’s not all that much wrong with a midnight snack . . . especially when it’s freshly baked!
I love our late night baking (even when that usually means dumping brownie mix into a bowl, whipping it with some eggs, throwing it in the oven, and then returning to the episode of Law and Order: SVU that we’re watching). And I love being able to enjoy the smell coming from the oven before the brownies are ready to be eaten. I even love the anticipation of waiting for them to cool down just enough so that we don’t have to worry about burning our mouths off on piping hot brownies.
I just love the tradition. It’s perfect.
