As a boy in the UK I was fond of eating packets of Jelly lumps. I would sometimes find a new packet of them in the pantry and carefully start to dig out the lumps from the "open other end" end. My somewhat flawed theory was that my mother would not see the evidence of my excavation of jelly lumps when she opened the packet from the right end! I suspect that my IQ must have been lower than Homer Simpson's in those days. I was cured of my jelly lump addiction when my parents emigrated (with me in tow) to New Zealand. I was most distressed to discover that there were no such thing as jelly lumps here, just some awful things called jelly crystals. Not sure if you have lumps, crystals, or something else in Arkansas for making jelly (a kind of blob of wobbly, sweet, clear amalgam of glue, water, colouring and flavouring that we enjoyed for desert!)?

Most men can, darn it.<br /><br />Jewels,<br /><br />Somehow, that sounds all too familiar. You are not alone.

When I was in college, as an attempt not to eat a whole batch of rich chocolate cookies with Reese’s peanut butter chips that I had just made, I threw them in the trash. Unfortunately, a few minutes later I actually dug them out of the garbage can (they were wrapped in plastic) and ate them. Ugh!SunShinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06491384969589130647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-62917159950357572642009-04-23T17:19:00.000-05:002009-04-23T17:19:00.000-05:00I sometimes like ice cream and cheeze its.

Curious though, would that make the helpful eater an enabler or a protector? Who cares if it works huh.<br /><br />Pat<br />Isn't it funny how the cookies just disappear when all you had were a couple (at a time) Me too. Like kenju says, have your friend who supplies you to help you eat them.<br /><br />robin<br /><br />You suprised me. I figured you to only eat healthy stuff. Glad you are one of us with a weakness. Chips I can be reasonable with. Of course now chocolate covered chips would ruin me.<br /><br />Betsy,<br /><br />Do they make a peanut butter ice cream? No reason not to save dishes if combining is possible. Welcome to the club.

I put off opening it as long as I can (why don't I just give them away, or say "thanks but no thanks" you may ask? Say what?) but when once opened it's a cookie here, a cookie there, perhaps two, and in a matter of a couple of hours, the entire tube of cookies is gone!!! 700 calories -- just like that. :::sigh:::Pat - Arkansashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11623638376731374600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-52463701077724713932009-04-23T07:29:00.000-05:002009-04-23T07:29:00.000-05:00Of course it is, but I'll never tell.
