Guilty Pleasures
 

What are some of your guilty pleasures?

Candles by the Yankee Candle Company. Right now I've got Pumpkin Pie and Christmas Cookie in my kitchen. Yum! And I've got a pile of them on my Christmas wish list. They're kinda expensive, but they make my house smell so gooooood!!

And, I might as well own stock in Bath and Body Works.....

Chocolate...

Pudding and chocolate.
going to garage sales and looking for lp's of music that I had in the seventies.

-Mixing Jif Peanut Butter with chocolote syrup to make a pb/choco goo - then I eat it...mmm...hahah...my chocolate addiction is a bit excessive....

-Little House on the Prairie

-Late night HOT baths with a good book....:nod:

New Kids on the Block
Care Bears
The WB
Message Boards



...and I like to watch all the action outside my window....I'm nosey.

Ice cream. Almost every night. Great for my high cholesterol. :shocked:
Sunkist Pistachios (all other brands are nasty)
Chocolate
Anything FMac related

-Lis

Seriously??

I worked for Yankee Candle part time last year! :wavey: Employees get 50% off, so I made sure I was stocked up for life before quitting! :nod:

The Spice Girls, and all their solo endeavours.

Crab rangoons and Desperate Housewives. :angel:

George Clooney... :xoxo:

I worked at the flagship store here in MA and if anyone can handle working there, no smell will bother them ever again in life. :laugh: The Midnight scented candles made me vomit almost every day, they were horrid. My favorite was Buttercream...mmmmmm. The discount certainly helped. :nod: It was a workout, though, because the place is absolutely huuuuuuuuuuuge. I worked at the dye-your-own-candle booth for one day and never did it again, it was a total pain in the ass. Loved seeing and stocking Christmas stuff year round, though. :thumbsup:

And the restaurant had divine food!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheez Its :cool:

i like them too LOL
:)

What town is that in? I've only ever been to the one in Deerfield...and I agree, the infusion of all the smells are migraine inducing after a while.
:laugh: I still have my "dye-your-own" candles from when I was 5! We used to go to see all the Christmas decorations, admire the train, sit on Santa's lap, and get a Honeydew Melon candle. That was always my mom's favorite.

Thanks for the memories you guys!

Or you might as well own stock in Yankee. I bought in a year or two back at $19.50 a share, & it's been climbing steadily to around $30 ever since.

Who needs high-tech when you have wax?!

Crab Rangoon, after all the talk on here about them I had them on Fri. There is a gourmet Chinese restaurant in my 'hood that is to die for.

Cake. I've been baking cakes lately and I made this homemade frosting from butter and bittersweet chocolate and it is divine.

Stevie!

This board, good grief I need to get off of it.

Desperate Housewives, I'm with y'all, I'm hooked.

TV in general, I'm an addict.

It's the one in Deerfield. :) Great store, but the smells and the enormous crowds killed me on a daily basis. And their overtime policies suck teabags!

I was always so pissed at how my candles came out. If you wanted them to look nice, you could only dye each half one color and I thought that sucked. :laugh: I was an unhappy child. :laugh:

Chinatown in Boston has the best FRESH crab rangoons you'll ever taste. You have to fry them at home, but they are to die for. I could eat crab rangoons for every meal. ;)

OMG, you lucky bastard! ;) Last Christmas the manager wanted to beat one of the other stores, so she agreed to take whoever had the highest sales in the store with her to Deerfield the following January if we won. I was in first place but thanks to a return, ended up in second by only 2 dollars and some change!!! :distress: So she offered to split the airfare with me (she was definitely the coolest person I've ever worked with!) but unfortunately I had to quit, so things didn't work out.

And I have six jars of Garden Cucumber under my bed. :nod:

Do you buy them at a Chinese grocery? This sounds good, my roommate loves them too so I would get points for getting these.

I have no guilt about my pleasures
 

What the heck are they?

Crab and cream cheese mixed with spices, wrapped in a wonton (like a ravioli) and deep fried, mm mmm. :thumbsup:

You just wanna get in on with Joey McIntyre.... then again so do I. I could lick him from the tip of his toes to the top of his beautiful blue-eyed head. It SO sucks that he's a hard-core Catholic.... :mad:

Oh well... but jeezus he's yummy.

:blob2: :blob2:

He IS? haha..he was my favorite New Kid - had a big ole Joey crush...awww...we could go to church together :laugh:

Anyway - interesting to see folks popping up with New Kids..

I recently when to a used cd shop and looked for some of their stuff (my old tapes are long gone and I've not heard them in years...) I was going to take a trip down memory lane :laugh:

Easy...
 

Music...And mass amounts of it.

ps-Surprised the females here havent tried the Chocalate flavored Beer (!!!) that is the newest craze.

Yeah, you can get them at Chinese grocery stores, too. They look like perogies. :) They're easing to make from scratch, too. Just take 8 ounces of crabmeat, 8 ounces of cream cheese, whatever spices you want to add, and put them in wanton wrappers (you can get those very cheaply at Chinese food stores).

Dammit, you've got me drooling now! I LOVE crab rangoons! Looks like it's Chinese tonight. :nod:
Other guilty pleasures would be:
Fine wine(or not so fine :lol: )
Anything(almost) FM.
NTN Trivia (Okay, I'm kind of a nerd).

Just had a box meself last night :thumbsup: They're kind of expensive, but if they weren't, I could eat them fairly constantly.

If you have Trader Joe's check out Charles Shaw merlot, it is really good at 3 bucks a bottle! :] :blob1: :] It is nicknamed 2 Buck Chuck cuz that is what it costs in Cali before shipping.

We don't have Trader Joe's here. :confused: . In a pinch, the Franzia 5 liter box of Merlot will do. $8.99 :xoxo: I have quite a few bottles of "date" wine here. Unfortunately, they gather alot of dust! Fortunately, for myself, I'm a pretty cheap date! :eek: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Lol!
 

Damn :mad: And I just found out that Fred Savage recently got married....and Macaulay Culkin is all F--Ked...so damn...there go all of my childhood crushes...:(

Rice Pudding

Flannel Sheets

Boxer Shorts

A good suspense book

Ugh, cream cheese. Excuse me as I throw up everything I've ever eaten.

:D (1) Music, through my headphones, especially vinyl (2)Pink Bubble Gum Ice Cream from Baskin Robbins (3) Good Wine---my favorite is a California Dolcetto from Viansa Winery in Sonoma, CA or a Pinot Grigio. (4) Bubble Baths in Victoria Secret's Vanilla Lace scent and with candles around the tub. (5) Candles--I love Yankee Candles too!!!!, especially Buttercream or Home Interior candles, especially Grandma's Cookies. (5) Magazines---I'm a magazine nut. I love Uncut, Mojo, Cosmo, Glamour, Lucky, and Marie Claire.

Mmm, cream cheese. Excuse me as I purchase a Dunkin Donuts bagel :p
