11. I am almost 66.

I have always preferred instant coffee.

I don't like perked, drip, or brewed.

Boiling water is the trick to making good instant coffee.

I prefer mine black and extremely hot.

My family jokes that I can drink it when it is boiling.

I reheat my mug of black coffee 4 or 5 times before it is empty.

No matter how you fix the coffee the water needs to boil.

I have one cup a day. I do put in sugar and half and half, and I also reheat it several times before I'm done drinking the one cup.

109. Thanks for the suggestion.

I have a large thick plastic mug that I drink out of.

It is 20 years old.

I would not be able to drink my coffee as hot as I like, it if I used a glass mug.

The glass gets too hot and it burns my lips.

My plastic mug does not get hot on the outside.

The mug warmer would not work with my plastic mug.

59. Quadruplets, at least.

For reasons that aren't very important, I went for about five years without using ketchup on anything. Then, when I put it on a hamburger I was shocked at how sweet it was. I think ketchup in recent years acquired a whole lot more sugar, and I almost never use it any more. Rarely on a hamburger, but I always notice how incredibly sweet it is.

I dip my fries in extra salt.

I especially like making my own, from real potatoes. That's my secret vice.

My father taught me. Actually it wasn't from a box, but maybe worse -- we made the sauce with milk, butter, and Velveeta.

Yeah, I know, not real cheese, but oh so many emulsifiers for that rich, creamy mouth feel

Since then I've evolved to use Annie's whole wheat white cheddar and I use olive oil instead of butter.

61. Rice a Roni rice pilaf.

It's my go-to side dish for my Grecian chicken (marinate boneless cut up chicken breasts in [and you absolutely must do it in this order] oregano, chopped garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil) which is then grilled. I use a table top electric grill and get excellent results. The other side dish is stir fried veggies: carrot (sliced thin on the diagonal), green or red pepper, onion, zucchini, and snow peas. I cut up and refrigerate the veggies and stir fry one serving at a time.

I also do boneless pork chop teriyaki with those two side dishes.

What's really great is that the meats freeze wonderfully after they've been cooked, and when I want another meal I just take out one portion and heat it up in the microwave. I live alone, so figuring out single portions and how to save or freeze leftovers is huge in my culinary life.

Then I spray it with Siracha and some cracked pepper.

With an addiction to strawberry shortcake ice cream, especially when stressed, I've come up with a guilt-free substitute: Frozen sugar-free cheesecake-flavored pudding with some strawberry jam swirled into it.

It's not really as good as the ice cream, of course, but it's nice enough and takes care of the cravings.

Microwavable instant white rice in a big ass bowl. Zap it good.
Get your shredded yellow cheese ready to throw in there so it melts on the hot rice.
Stir it up.
Dump a can of corn in there.
Stir again.
Now here comes the tricky part...
Soy sauce or liquid aminos to taste.
About half a large bottle of Tabasco.
Stir, stir, stir...

Time to enjoy!

You can also add tempeh bacon or bacon bits or something along those lines. But remember, this is a vegetarian dish, so it's good for you!

173. It's getting harder and harder to find

and I don't know why. It's been our favorite since before we heard of mac and cheese - we started getting that because we could only sporadically find the potato one.

On a side note, in order to make me feel like I'm "cooking" I doctor the the hamburger before adding the helper - during browning I always hit it with salt and pepper and crushed garlic and a splash or three of Worcestershire sauce.

Happy hunting! Lately I heard that potato stroganoff is in good supply at Walmart - which is one reason I don't see it as much because I hate going to Walmart lol. Will have to make an exception to see.

54. Thick slabs of French bread fresh from the bakery,

fried in garlicky flavored olive oil and sprinkled with grated, well aged, pecorino romano cheese.

This was a popular kid's snack prepared by everyone's mom or granny in the small Spanish village we lived in back in the day, but the cheese was probably fresh goat cheese. Sometimes there would be homemade pepperoni slices to go with the fried bread, but usually there was a small, very tart apple.

I loved it as a snack when I was 10, and these days I treat myself to a big slice with a good red wine... Delish!

62. Probably my main culinary sin

is a fondness for certain Stouffer's frozen entrees. I live alone, so cooking for one can be tedious, and sometimes one of those is just exactly what I need.

However, since most of the time I cook from scratch, I do sort of notice that they aren't as fresh tasting as I wish they were. Sigh.

My other culinary sin is a fondness for Pizza Hut Personal Pan Pepperoni Pizza.

I also love red wine, but that's not a sin, is it?

that would be my Seven Deadlys. With side order of salted cashews, peanut butter-filled pretzels, or just salted peanuts in a pinch.

I know, not normal for a 71 year old man.

Others....
* anything Italian sauteed in olive oil, sun-dried tomato and basil base. Grouper fillet, chicken breast or scallops are the ultimate.
* fresh from the field turnip greens cooked with country bacon drippings. Douse with apple cider vinegar at the table.
* cut white corn straight from the field, simmered in country bacon drippings in a cast iron skillet. Serve with country ham, bacon or sausage and biscuits for breakfast.
* boiled peanuts. Georgia and Carolina varieties are great, but boiled Virginia peanuts are the ultimate.
* fresh fried catfish with hushpuppies.
* Cajun Gumbo, preferably in Louisiana.
* grilled grouper sandwich on dark rye bread, open face. Alternate cocktail sauce and tarter sauces.
(disclaimer: haven't had several of those items in many years and probably never will again)

I can make a fruit pie, but I always buy the pre-made crust. Cookies, brownies, cakes, biscuit... all come out a package or a boxed mix in my home.

I also enjoy eating packaged ramen noodles. I cook the noodles and then drain most of the water out of them. I put them back in the pan, use about 1/2 of the flaor packet and add a few drops of sesame oil. When I eat the noodles I add a little bit of soy sauce and some sambal.

Not just like Top Ramen (boring!). There's SO MANY flavors at a good Asian market it'll blow your mind. The Samyang Cheesey Chicken (Korean) is pretty bomb, for one. Mama Brand (Thai) Creamy Shrimp, or Green Curry Flavor, are also great. Anyways, I just toss fresh veggies in the boiling water for a few mins ... broccoli, snow or snap peas, onion chunks ... then toss in the noodles and some cooked meat from fridge (or frozen cooked shrimp) at that time ... then 3-7 mins later depending on noodles, you got a fine meal. Top with some scallions and cilantro. Throwing in some cooked scramble egg at the end ain't bad either ...

It's not really something that I would usually make since I make most things from unprocessed ingredients, but it's really good. It's boneless chicken, broccoli and a sauce of Campbell's cream of chicken soup mixed w/ mayonnaise, sherry, lemon juice, a tiny bit of curry, salt, pepper and some grated cheese (cheddar or your choice), put in a casserole pan and bake. Some people put buttered bread crumbs on top.

Slice it thin and fry the SPAM until it's crispy.

I can also eat a ridiculous number of deviled eggs. I make them with a little horseradish and garnish with fresh dill. When I take them to a pot luck they evaporate.

184. LOL - We had a party for the last episode of MASH

We dressed up in fatigues and scrubs and a friend carved a "SPAM lamb" like Klinger had done.

I also had a coworker who basically lived on SPAM when he was in the military. He said he would buy a multi-pound can of it and it "would last forever!" The less he spent on real food, the more money he had for alcohol.

174. that's the way to do spam

I don't even need salt on my grits or eggs when we have spam to go with it. That and scrapple make any meal more fun.

I will also unashamedly fry baloney. Fried baloney sandwich with mayo, american cheese and lettuce on toast. yum!

158. I am a tuna monster

A good 1/4 of my diet consists of tuna melts. Mixed with Hellmann's mayo, salt and lots of pepper, slapped on a slice of bread and smothered with cheddar.

Tuna in Kraft Mac and Cheese is good, too. But it's gotta be Kraft.

162. I can't keep ice cream sandwiches in the house.

I could eat 4 or 5 of them in a row. Don't need the calories or the temptation.

165. I totally cheat making mac & cheese !!

Instead of a roux in my homemade mac & cheese, I cheat and use a little bit of store bought alfredo sauce instead. I also add a little bit, just a squirt, of dijon mustard in there after I've added in my cheese blend (cheddar/asiago/parmesan). Making a pot of homemade mac & cheese is now easier than ever. The alfredo sauce is relatively a neutral flavour when a little milk and butter are added in.

168. I admit that I once lived for nearly a year on Count Chocula Cereal.

You should try French onion dip in ham sandwiches on Jewish Rye bread. Really good!

French onion dip on Fries is delicious too.

I sprinkle soy sauce on leftover spaghetti sometimes. Not on the first go-round, but when it's leftover and gotten a little dry in the fridge on day two.

When the nacho cheese gets lower in the jar than a chip can reach, I crush a couple of fist fulls of chips, put them in the jar and eat it out with a spoon. It's all very civilized.

171. When I eat Chili, it is an nonnegotiable requirement that I have a peanut butter...

...sandwich, in two halves, to dip in my chili.

I don't even bother slicing it, I'll just gnaw on one like a beaver chomping on wood

176. I have sinned!

I have, on occasion in the past, used prepared ginger paste and minced garlic from a jar rather than preparing the fresh articles.

I am deeply ashamed, and will never repeat that travesty.

180. Yellow mustard on saltines.

Mustard helps relieve the cramp. Sometimes I add cheese if I am also hungry.

Cookie dough, cake batter, unbaked pastry dough.

Peanut butter and banana on toast open faced. I bow to the person who first put peanut butter and bananas together.

Ditto for bacon and tomato but that's not a culinary sin by any stretch of the imagination

183. Sometimes I'll inject steaks with bacon grease.

It adds a nice flavor, but it's probably not the healthiest thing to do.

187. White Chocolate with inclusions

Specifically:

1.) the Blanc-Café from Café-Tasse in Belgium, which is white chocolate with finely ground coffee running through it.

2.) the huge squares of white Chocolate by Läderach of Switzerland ($100 a kilo, enjoy it SLOWLY!!), one variation with raspberries and black currant running through it, and the other variation with toasted almonds, shelled pistachios and bits of orange and untreated orange rind running through it.

I'll live 5 years less long for this stuff, but what a way to go!

198. I eat peanut butter and bacon sandwiches.

I love bologna and plastic cheese on white bread.

I love SPAM (fried)

I eat cold baked bean sandwiches.

I'm sure I have a lot more sins, but I can't think of them now.
