It has hunger all over it

[cjsmith]

I'm eating some green beans with cheddar-ish sauce. The sauce is a little on the thin and watery side, but I'm scarfing this stuff down and thinking OH SO YUMMY. The other day, I almost posted how I made spinach curry because when I ate it it was OH SO YUMMY. (Okay, I did post, but I left it private.)

That OH SO YUMMY reaction has happened a lot over the past few days. And y'know what? All these times I've been eating and thinking OH SO YUMMY I've also been ravenous. I'm not at all sure what I'd think of these green beans if I'd just made a pig of myself over fondue.

Tell ya what. The next time I tell you something I have eaten only once is absolutely scrumptious, ask me how much I've got in the tummy, okay? 'Cause I think maybe I'm not a particularly good judge when I'm running on empty.

....and so it does, if you're just talking about the popped corn. It's all the crap they add to it that makes it bad news.

Did you see the bit in the news about how fake butter flavoring is carcinogenic? I felt so vindicated. I *never* liked that stuff, in the microzap OR at the movie theater.

(PS: There's a reason why they say that "Hunger is the best sauce".)

Right indeed! My microwave popcorn should count on the Oils and Fats level, it's so gnarly. (Could be worse, though. Orville Redenbacher brand should count as wax.)

At least some movie theaters use real butter, clarified and with the water pulled out of it so it doesn't need refrigeration. (When I worked at the popcorn stand in college, that's what we were using.) It's still nasty, of course. A heart attack can kill you just as dead.

"Hunger is the best sauce"

Exactly! :-)
