Confessions of a sugar addict: I have been known to eat sweetened condensed milk straight out of the can, spoonful by spoonful. When I want to get fancy, I stir some lime juice into it, and tell DH it’s deconstructed (more like preconstructed) key lime pie.
I sometimes also eat icing/frosting straight from the plastic tub it comes in, spoonful by spoonful. (Current favorite is Betty Crocker Rainbow Chip frosting. The rainbow chips are actually tiny chocolate pieces that dissolve deliciously, not nasty plastic stuff. Previous favorite was Duncan Hines Creamy Vanilla frosting.)
I’ve heard people say, “ohmygawd that is so gross - it’s way too sweet - I’d puke if I did that.” Umm…no. The word “too” is never an appropriate modifier for the word “sweet,” in my universe.
Because eating raw eggs can be dangerous, I no longer eat slices of raw cookie dough from the Pillsbury plastic-wrapped tubes like I did back in the good ol’ days. Instead, I free-pour (i.e., no measuring cups involved) white sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, flour, vanilla, butter, and applesauce into a mixing bowl…stir together, maybe add a handful of semi-sweet chocolate morsels…then put the homemade cookie dough into snack-size ziploc bags and store them in the freezer until the next time I need a hit. Sometimes they last 2 or even 3 whole days.
My personal stress eating has a heavy emphasis on sugar, as you can see. How about the rest of you? What foods* are you drawn to when you’re being smothered by reality?
* the term ”foods” here encompasses any and all vaguely food-like substances
P.S.Blame credit goes to @scullystwin42 for suggesting this thread.
