My love affair with snack food.

Anyone who really knows me knows that I love to graze. I would rather snack than eat a complex meal. I get hungry fairly often in the typical day and I eat small meals or snacks when I get hungry.

I should add that anyone who has been around me for more than, let's say 2 hours at a time knows that I have a food love. We've been going steady for about two years now--ever since they first came onto the scene:

Yes, Cheez-its. And no, not all Cheez-its. Just Pepper Jack Cheez-its. Essentially, they are my very own crack rock. I don't much like the other flavors (for some reason I dig the whole grain variety, but not like I love these). I think I consume a box every week. They are so great. People actually make fun of me for this. That is how much I eat them. In fact, if and when they stop making these, I might have an episode similar to the Great-Surge-Incident-of -2000:

I can't believe those A-holes took away our Surge!

Needless to say, I would be very, very sad.

So, clearly I love snack food. And I just found a new one!!

Under normal circumstances, I don't really dig on pretzels (unless they are giant soft pretzels--yum), but man, these things are basically amazing. They are Ritz pretzels; which means that they are buttery like Ritz, but they also taste like pretzels. I could sit here and eat the damn box. But I won't.

Sure, I have willpower...
