What''s your biggest guilty pleasure?

[Dee*Jay]

Sleeping ''till 9 every weekday (but I work really late every night, and my weekends are sheer madness).

 

[Lynn B]

Taking the elevator (really!) and dark chocolate truffles. I could eat a pound of them in one sitting!

(Fun thread!)

 

[angeline]

mine''s a bit boring too.... a glass of good wine, knowing the little one is being taken care of by dh and the time to read PS un-interrupted!

ya know.. this has got me thinking... I really need to expand my horizons! I love the cigar and scotch idea..

 

[Harriet]

Gems!

 

[oobiecoo]

I go to Seattle''s Best almost everyday for a nonfat, sugar free gingerbrad, iced latte. I think they are way better than starbucks!


And I eat way more carbs than I should...

 

[pixley]

Sometimes I buy a piece of chocolate eruption cake and sneak it into the house and hide it where no one can see it. I savor the whole piece and I don't share it with my DH or DD and I feel dirty about not sharing it, but I don't think anyone could possibly enjoy that cake as much as me.

Harriet, I like your way of thinking

[Harriet]

I learnt it from you.

 

[diamondfan]

Shopping. Reality tv is a big one. I loved Rock of Love 2 and I always watch the Bachelor. I loved Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew.

 

[angel_nieves]

Dark chocolate with macadamia nuts..

Every six months or so, a nice Cigar.

 

[zoebartlett]

Movie theater popcorn is definitely a guilty pleasure for me too, but I don''t like butter on it. Sometimes I add a little salt though. I have also been known to, on occasion, mix the popcorn with snowcaps. I know it''s weird, but the salty popcorn with the sweet chocolate is SOOOO good.

I have a big sweet tooth, as does my FI, which is NOT good. One of my favorite desserts in restaurants is Toll-house cookie pie, especially with hot fudge. Yum!

Non-food guilty pleasures...let''s see. I love a good nap.

I''m sure there are others but that''s all I can think of for now.

 

[FrekeChild]

I think everyone knows this one by now, but...shoes.

Bad reality TV. The Hills, Tila Tequila, Rock of Love, sometimes The Bachelor, Whose Wedding is it Anyway?, Say Yes to the Dress, etc. Even when BF is around.

More TV-but scripted. nip/tuck, Dexter, Heroes, etc.

Creme Brulee.

Chick Lit books. I can spend a whole Saturday doing nothing but reading those ridiculous things.

Planning our wedding. So what if we''re not engaged yet and the wedding is probably 3 years off? I like how the Boy Scouts say it, "Always be prepared."

Making baked goods just to eat them. I''ll cook for other people, but baked goods...you''re lucky if I share.

 

[Gypsy]

Okay so I have a frequent guilty indulgences:
GOOD romance and chick lit Novels. Mmmmmmm. Like chocolate for me.
Flowers. I love fresh flowers.


But if we are talking once in a blue moon stuff... tasting menus at really fabulous (pricey) restuarants paired with a wine flight to match. That's my guiltiest and most decadent. 5 star amazing restuarants and the chef's tasting menu. OH BABY.

Skippy,

We will both blow up like balloons, ha ha ha ha, but it will be worth it

 

[diamondfan]

I also love to get a good book, some candy or hot tea, have a bath and read.

I love looking through catalogs even if it is stuff I never use. Just love looking at all that is out there in this world!

Sleeping in after having watched great old movies on tv late at night.

Sappy chick flicks

Gossip mags, Us People etc

 

[Kaleigh]

Laying on my bed and readiing magazines, Star, People, US, OK, and Town and Country. I love getting them all together, and getting a nice snack to go with., my chocolate covered potato chips are no longer sold. I need a new fix.

LOL, just for a day it wouldn''t happen; now if we did it everyday that is a different story. hehe

Lisa, darn to the potato chips I remember you talking about those! My dh would love those!!!!

 

[Elmorton]

-Buying books instead of borrowing them

- A really good cheese plate, accompanied by not wine, but an unfiltered wheat beer with lemon or a flavored martini

-Coach purses

-A subscription to Us Weekly

-My espresso maker/Dean and Deluca beans- and drinking a latte outside of Starbuck''s hours of operation.

-Spending time with DH in the middle of the day (neither one of us typically works 9-5), esp. going to the park near our house that is always full of people - it makes me feel so "city"

-Cooking with all fresh ingredients

-Flying out to a fun destination for a girls'' weekend (last year was NYC, this year Austin!)

I'd never even heard of Relish. I just read up on it, and it totally sounds like a place I could talk BF into going to. Whats in the Nutella sandwich?

(I used Nutella as a cake filling one time, and ate all the leftovers myself. I LOVE NUTELLA. LOVE IT. Yum!)

Kaleigh - my 7th grade English teacher would eat Pringles and Betty Crocker icing as her comfort food. After she told us that, my BFF and I went to the store and bought some. Not bad, actually. Maybe try it as a replacement?

It is Nutella on a baguette, banana's, a little bit of cinnamon and sugar pressed in Panini Grill thing; all the girls from my firm love eating at Relish. The sandwich comes out warm and delicious!!! That place is yummy but I try to stay away as it is very naughty

ETA: they are only open for lunch and closed for Dinner and on Sunday's.
