Example the first: Tofurky. Actually, this isn’t too bad, other than the fact that it needs refrigerated transport¹. Still, it’s the sort of prepackaged food we don’t buy too often. The co-op has it on sale this month, and it makes very tasty pizza. One sausage per pizza is plenty for us, so we have three more pizza’s worth in the freezer. :)

Example the second, however, is worse. Last night, Jeff grew a craving for… chili cheese dogs. So, off we traipsed to the store, where we got (turkey) hot dogs, and chili in a can², and, um, mac and cheese in a box. We served up the chili dogs on homemade tortillas, and it was all very tasty.

What’re your guilty pleasure foods?

1. We’ve been trying to eat fewer non-local goods that need refrigerated transport. Tonight at the co-op, what came out of refrigeration in the store was maple syrup (bulk), tofu, and milk (local).

2. And then, the next morning, if there’s a bit of leftover chili in a can, scrape it into a small baking dish, make a couple of biscuits and drop pieces in on top of the chili, and then crack two eggs on top of that. Cook about 15 minutes in your toaster oven, until the eggs are set, and top with some sharp cheddar cheese. Tasty, tasty.
