Midnight Snacks ...

[caseydog]

No doubt CD. Lately I've been making a "shot in the dark" which is basically a shot of expresso added to my drip.

I recently found my old percolator from my camper in the back of a cabinet. I've been using it. That old school coffeemaker actually makes a good cup of coffee. I'd forgotten that.

Right, exactly, it needs to be on bread, glad you agree, we are of one mind, lol.

I like a good butter on toast but I wait until the toast has cooked down somewhat so the butter doesn't melt. I like the cool and creamy mouthfeel of the actual butter as opposed to bread with the butter just soaked in. Yes it might sound crazy to some people, lol.

I'm just learning that other people do that too. Yes, that creamy mouthfeel of the butter is luscious. I can also get that mouthfeel when I spread butter on knækbrød, crisp rye bread.

I used to butter those little Melba toasts and just about any cracker I got my hands on. My family always thought I was off, lol.

There are some things that you just have to have butter on!

My mom used to put a thin slice of butter on a lettuce leaf to munch. I can still feel the shock the first time I saw her do that!

My mum used to switch to margarine whenever she went on a diet. "I know there are the same amount of calories in the same amounts of butter and margarine. But, I don't put nearly as much margarine on bread as I put butter."

Mi midnight snack for tomight is probably going to be baked beans on toast ... or, eggs on toast not sure yet - a lot can happen in 7 hours

 

[Andy M.]

I stay away from artificial substitutes. Always butter/never margarine, whipped cream, NEVER cool whip, etc.

How about beans on toast with a fried egg on top?

Now your making it complex!

It's not possible to make a besciamella without butter.

I literally just had a midnight snack, twelve minutes after midnight. Smoked chicken on a roll with mayo. I'm now having a second glass of egg nog. I'm thinking I should sleep well tonight.

Wishing you "sogni d'oro" sweet dreams Casey, and to all forum friends who are turning in for the night.

My midnight snack was more Cottage Pie and will probably be breakfast, lunch and dinner for the next week

 

[Jusa]

My midnight snack was a big bowl of grief from my sick husband who is cranky.

 

[The Ghan]

I know I am not the best patient in the world BUT I try not to take my being sick out on others either. I tend to disappear into bed and stay there until I can at least be sociable and not cranky.

Definitely not crazy, the complete opposite!
Like @Jusa I like to double butter on toasted goods, some melted in and then an extra layer of unmelted. Especially on a crumpet.
Oh dear I’m still full from yesterday and yet now need crumpets

Buttered toast with peanut butter. Has to have the butter first, just not the same without it.

Peanut butter & Jam sandwich - in this case, no butter under the peanut butter but must have first on the bread before the jam/jelly/pickles etc. Unless it is a peanut butter and banana - then it is a light smear of peanut butter under the banana.

Them's the law!

I love me some crunchy peanut butter and strawberry jam on toasted bread. I can't eat raw bananas, but I know Elvis approved of PB and nanner samiches..
