Guilty pleasures

I've developed a few guilty pleasures since this blessed event happened. A few can be considered good, the others, not so much. I was thinking about them tonight during my nightly bubble bath which occurred right after my two back-to-back episodes of Judy Judy - okay so there's two right there. Those are the ones I consider good.

The bad all seem to revolve around food.

After the bubbles were gone I sat down to my Thursday night TV lineup and cracked open my can of Grape Crush. BB (before baby) I would never even consider drinking anything but diet pop. I didn`t see the point of consuming the extra calories if I don`t have to.

The other major, and guiltiest, of all of my current pleasures is poutine. Yep, french fries smothered with gravy and cheese curds. Heaven. BB I ate poutine maybe once a year. Maybe. Norm calls poutine `the fat man`s crack cocaine`addictive and dangerous. I`ve been using this blessed event to find the best poutine available in the Niagara Region. So far I`ve tried four fine establishments and have a two-way tie for first place. Now, I`m sure my loyal followers are thinking well Marcie... who has the best poutine! Well let me tell you my thoughts. New York Fries was my least favourite. They use the dark beef gravy which is not my favourite in this dish. A nice light chicken gravy is what you`re looking for. The Feathery was good, no real complaints, but not amazing. The tie is between Harvey`s and KFC. I`m leaning toward KFC for first place. Excellent gravy, lots of cheese curds. Delish! I know what you`re thinking, fast food, really, that`s your pick. My answer is yes, and I stand by my choice, but I`m not necessarily done searching yet.

I wonder if one day I`ll ever write a post about carrots being my next guilty pleasure. In about a year when I`m crying into my salad wondering why I`m so fat, someone please remind me that I did this to myself. Sigh...
