GUILTY indeed. You are indeed a shameful soul for describing in such delicious detail your guilty pleasures on this Sunday morning, another day of many that I had planned to restrict my calorie intake. I hope reading your words has not tipped the scale.

Words alone carry zero fat, calories and carbs. You?re safe!
Thanks for reading.

Lord, Lord, I know where to tune in when I want immediate hunger pains. No wonder your son turned out to be a great chef. LOL. Thanks for sharing another fine post.

Well, you are certainly food-orientated for your guilt trips. You write about food so vividly your pleasure comes through clearly, but how awful that you can't enjoy the pleasure of eating the dishes you describe. Oops, that's the whole point of this contest, isn't it. kay

The pepper sandwich is one of my favorites!
Thank you for reading. Stay tuned for more culinary delights in the future!

Comment from Alexandra Trovato
Very descriptive, excellent writing! I enjoyed your description of the cheesecake, the most, I have to say, because I can find non-;dairy cheesecake to enjoy. We also have found tofu meat-lije meats. In 2019, begun from health scares, my husband and I became vegan eaters. I think I would have gained wait, just reading your writing in days past. If your not writing for menus or retraubts, I think you should. That would surely bring more business their way!

Thank you so much!

Comment from karenina
Holy semi-guilty delights batman!
I would have said truly guilty...
But then I would have to stop fantasizing about that burger and the seventy foot tall slice of cheese cake!
(Perhaps I'm exaggerating a tad)
Hard to type and drool at the same time, but hey, I'm a foodie and you hit many of my favorites!
(Just a hint from my grandmom, who lived to be 98: If you cut things in half? HALF the calories fall out!)
Just a thought...
I'll try it with your recipes and let you know...all in the interest of research of COURSE!
(excuse me while I angrily pitch my carrot sticks out the window)
Aw, come on! Win this contest! Then it's party time!

But if you cut it in half for half the calories, you?re only getting half the enjoyment.
Karenina, thank you do much for your review. It means a lot!

Ah, the way we can rationalize in order to immerse ourselves in guilty pleasures!

Comment from Soledadpaz
Sounds like a lot of guilty pleasures. Scrumptious. This makes me want to run to the kitchen and start cooking up a storm. I can taste that burger.
I like the imagery of wet walnuts skiing down the slopes of melting ice cream.
Well done,
Sol

Comment from GWHARGIS
Note to self, don't read your entries while hungry. The food and your descriptions came with phantom smells, the like of which, had Mr drooling. Those aren't guilty pleasures, those are the stuff dreams are made if. Good luck in the contest. Thank you for posting. Gretchen

Comment from LJbutterfly
I'm sitting here looking through my Weight Watchers app and can't find any of your guilty pleasures. Rocky Road ice cream is my favorite, but if I want to keep my girlish figure, according to the app, I can only have a half cup...no whipped cream or sprinkles. Your guilty pleasures all sound delicious. Enjoy, and best wishes in the contest.

Okay, I read this late last night and found the post so engrossing that my mouth was watering. Same again when I read it today. I am not a person who eats in the middle of the night so I have to give you a six for such descriptive writing.
Best of luck in the contest.
