random question (not-a-poll)

[lagilman]

If I told you that I had ants on a log for breakfast, would you be

a) horified?
b) amused?
c) hungry?

It's been so hot, I had to put the peanut butter in the fridge to keep it from melting. Oy.

Amused. Our kids liked them, I never cared much.

d) assume it's a regionalism that I don't know, but which will be explained in due time. Or not.

celery stuffed with peanut butter, topped with raisins (the ants). Protein, fruit and veggie (sort of) in an easy-to-carry package. Also, name appeals to kids who otherwise might turn up their nose at 'healthy' food.

C:) Hungry I love those things and so do the kids.

Hungry! Also, craving veggies. :)

b) amused, because I don't like celery.

Yeah, I'm with ckd on this one. Peanut butter, I like a lot. Celery, not nearly as much.

Hungry, but then I usually am this time of day. Christina would love breakfast at your house, if that was on the menu. Austin would have to decline, due to his peanut allergy (though I suppose if you replaced the peanut butter with cream cheese or even Cheez-Wiz, he'd be interested).

What time's breakfast tomorrow?

I'd pass on the ants, but that sounds really good this morning.

And it became a huge fad when I was in fifth grade to put cream cheese in the celery instead of PB. Along with Jolly Rancher sticks and tin lunch boxes...

OMG tin lunch boxes!! I haven't seen those things in ages. I had two, one was Strawberry Shortcake..the other, my favorite, was Linda Carter as Wonder Woman. Ahhh the memories.

Mine was very Little House on the Prairie... rectangular, with a lid and two handles that pulled up over the top. Pink, with white lines and red hearts... My dad hated them because they weren't big enough for a thermos and we had to start buying those new-fangled juice boxes. *L!*

Amused, even though I know what you mean. That name always made me smile.

Now, I am also getting a little hungry....

I never really liked the ants, but I love(d) them without. I know some people who use chocolate chips for ants instead.

Not quite so healthy, but tasty!

(the crew here has suggested replacing the celery with graham crackers. But at that point you've sort of lost the point of "healthy" food...)

They have that at Peanut Butter & Co. :D

Depends on the ants. I prefer cranberry to traditional raisin, myself...

[lagilman]

fire ants!
