I Need Hot Eggs so that I can eat My Brownies while I Split like a Banana

Sooooo favorite snacks is the theme-y-o this week but as sad as it is to say, I have been falling out of love with snacks. I remember they used to be so great to me: I would literally substitute my meals with snacks. But lately, they don’t slap like I remember. For example hot Cheetos were my FAVORITE! I remember I would come into school everyday, or at least every other day with hot Cheetos (that was during the time when I was embarrassed about bringing my dinners for lunch). I was definitely the hot Cheetos girl. However, after developing an ulcer and always having acid reflux, I stopped eating them because the pain after eating them just wasn’t worth it. But if these bhaddies are around, next believe imma inhale them!


Then there is eggnog. I know it is not a “snack” in the traditional sense but I feel like it is heavy enough to count as one. Anyway, every time Christmas rolled around: you could always expect me to be asking around and/or getting eggnog. However, my first year I went C-R-A-Z-Y with buying and stocking up on eggnog that I have now become just a casual eggnog drinker ://. I think it was the freedom of being able to buy eggnog whenever I wanted without anyone telling me no (when I was living at home, my mom would limit all the eggnog I could drink).

The same story goes for cosmic brownies. Idk why, but my mom never bought cosmic brownies but the few times I traded my lunches with kids in school for them, I knew I really liked them. So my first year, I went wild with always buying them. Now at this point, if someone offers me one I’ll eat it otherwise I don’t think about em :/.

Then there is the forbidden fruit: bananas. I have an on-again-off-again relationship with them. At first, when I was a kid, I would force myself to eat bananas because that was the favorite fruit of my favorite animals (monkeys and apes) but then I stopped after watching a scary documentary about monkeys gone wild where they would show pet monkeys and apes that went psycho on their owners (I wanted a pet monkey until watching that). But then I started actually missing bananas and when I tried one after a long time, it was quite enjoyable and I started actually liking them for what they were. 

In general though, snacks have just become things I eat out of necessity— because I don’t eat lunch (I find “lunch” foods to be lame and boring (and honestly just weak versions dinners)), I must eat snacks to carry me over from breakfast to dinner. But as I said, this has become a recent development, like a 2020 development for me. 

That is all from me though! Enjoy your third week of June (can you believe it’s already our third week?!!). As usual, here’s some snippets of my week:

The longest I spoke to someone on the phone
A birthday cake macaroon :0
My cousin and Aboni serving looks ;)
My nephew has an awkward smile like Aboni
My dad sent this cute pic of one of my nieces <3
I found this sticker on someone’s car
My sisters, Sebastian, and I went protesting and at first it was a light drizzle and then it started storming, filled with hail, strong winds, flooding, and lightning which forced us to stop. We were all soaked to the bone by the time we got back to the car T-T
A double rainbow formed afterwards
There was another bad thunderstorm yesterday, it took out the power and took off a lot branches off of trees and also hailed. There is usually a pond that forms in our yard after a storm but this is by far the largest I have seen it before!
A little platter I made for my fam to eat while we watched YouTube together

Okieeee, hej hej (That’s Danish for saying bye: it’s pronounced “hi hi”)

you're right lunch is weak dinner. with dinner being the best meal imo. hot Cheetos are so good but I'm glad you've fell off of them since they make your ulcers and acid reflux worse. I feel you about having the freedom to buy what you want as far as snacks and then buying too much of it lol. also those bananas are funny

so many things here...

I agree too that lunch is weak dinner and snacks are a necessary and enjoyable in between. I'm sad for you about hot cheetos but it's probably for the better that snacks don't slap as hard,, i did NOT like that photo tho. It made me laugh I'll admit. I liked that you found creative versions of all the snacks.

And that was a funny thing about the monkey doc. It really does show that these things do stick with us for years and years.

Cute weekly pics as always and dang 5 hours?! wild. I like the double rainbow and I hope you guys are staying safe in the protests :)
