I admit it... I like salt....
There, I said it. Ok, I've said it before : ) I had a good friend my freshman year of college who would shake salt onto just about everything she ate. I didn't grow up with that habit, and thankfully didn't adopt it. I just really like salty foods. I think I more often am craving salty things than sweet things, and like the sweet/salty taste of things like kettle corn, too!
I've been sitting here for about an hour doing computer things that needed done - writing back to so and so about this or that, looking up my next library book, etc. About 20 minutes ago I got a snack (because of the small salad dinner I had because of the large lunch I had with Will at his work today). What did I grab for a not long before bed snack? My generic brand triscuts! My woven wheats : ) I don't often have these around, but they were impulsively purchased last week on a shopping trip on the afternoon that I had planned to nap while Andrew did, but due to him napping only about 15 minutes I did not get my nap. : ( I was very tired, and so was he. After I tried to get him back down I did what I should have done a lot sooner: strapped him in and taken him for a drive. Of course when we arrived at the store and I realized he was asleep I was somewhat annoyed (mostly that I didn't do it sooner or have something along to read - please note that at this moment I resisted the temptation to go one parking lot over to get myself a milkshake!), but glad, too, that he was getting more rest. When I tried to loosen his coat after about 20 minutes in the parking lot (as the sun came in) he woke up. Ok, fine, I thought, we'll go in and shop. I was tired (and hormonal) and he was being "such a good boy" (but really), so there I am in Aldi trying not to cry........... This is real, people. I went on to buy myself the woven wheats and him a 12 pack of pre-packaged cheese-filled mini-sandwich crackers (think ritz-bitz, but also generic brand). He had never had them before, I don't think, but judging by the packaging was interested right away. He's had them twice now since then.... and loves them. So that's how and why I have my woven wheats.
Anyway, as I have been sitting here "working" and snacking I noticed something (that I'm pretty sure I already knew I did). As I pick up a cracker I inspect both sides to see which side has the salt. Then I make sure to put the cracker salt-side down on my tongue to fully enjoy the salty flavor with the oily wheat. Delicious : )
