Can you eat and drink what you ... ?

I used to fix 3 meals a day when my children were home. Now we only eat 2 meals a day and sometimes only one. If I fix breakfast (yea we fix meals in the south) it's usually at lunch time.
We aren't early eaters. Pretty much eat the same things.. except, I try very hard to steer away from can foods, we just don't like the salt.
 
Oh, those 3 meals a day were over long ago, as soon as my son was old enough to scramble an egg or make French toast. Lunch was at work or school either carried or bought. But I always made supper like my mother taught me, and we all sat down together:
Protein
2 Veg
Carb
Salad as often as possible
Bread & butter
Milk (no matter that I hated it, she put Nestle's Quick in it. )

We NEVER had dessert when I was a child, therefore I have no interest in baking. A treat now and then, but in no way was dessert ever considered part of a meal!

If you wanted fruit, it was always there. If you wanted ice cream we got in the car and went to Dairy Queen.

If I wanted a Devil Dog, I went to my father who had a secret stash. He loved sweets.
 

The only thing that bothers me now is some brands of fat free ice cream, and then only if I overdo it, which I always do with ice cream. They didn't have such a thing years ago.

Just the opposite with tea. When I was young I used to not be able to drink a cup of strong tea on an empty stomach. It would make me nauseous. Something about the tannins, an astringent I think. Doesn't bother me now. Maybe they've changed the tea since then? :confused:
 
I can eat or drink anything I used to when I was younger, only not such large servings to avoid being overweight.
 
I also love hot dogs, but will not have them in the house, because I'd keep eating them. I have one about once a month, when I go to Costco. I love their all-beef hot dogs. So it's an indulgence I allow myself, but only that often.

I'm the same way with hot dogs. Can't leave them alone.

I don't keep them in the house either for the same reason. The absolute best were Hormel Wranglers, but they no longer exist. They have joined Post Toasties, Derby Tamales and Noodles Romanoff in the yum-yum graveyard. I love Polish Sausage as well as hot dogs, but the brands available around here aren't to my taste—so it's Ball Park all-beef with Maille Old Style Mustard.
 
I can still eat a package of Ball Park all-beef hot dogs and have room for desert. Four fried eggs and toast or six eggs scrambled with no toast is a typical breakfast, I told my sawbones that I don't intend to be hungry for the rest of my life. When I have macaroni and cheese I use 2+ cups of macaroni (dry quantity) and add about a half stick of butter, some milk, and about six ounces of Velveeta Original as well as some cream cheese or some other cheese.

Life without plenty of good food is ambulatory death.

My Lord, you must be as big as a house! Your closing quote would be better worded as: "Life, with the food I eat, is an ambulance ride away from death."

Just thought, another thing I can't tolerate any more is Coke (cola)...or any fizzy drink come to that . I used to drink a lot of coke, but now even the smallest amount causes me stomach problems.. so I have to drink still water with juice..but on a very hot day, nothing is quite as cold a long chilled coke on the rocks , and I get tempted, and boy do I pay for it...
