We all have our little weird food quirks. I, for example, like cheap frozen pizzas (the Totinos kind that are always being run on sale for 99 cents). I'll take one of those other the exorbantly priced, though deicious, pre-sliced, thin crust it's-not-delivery-it's-DiGiorno anyday. I also like those cheapie Mexican TV dinners. The ones that come with a couple of enchiladas about the size of a pinkie finger and a small dollop of rice and refried beans. I don't eat those TV dinners because, well, I *don't* like what they do to my digestive system.
And then, of course, there is this food quirk: if I'm going to eat chicken noodle soup I want it to come from a can that looks like this:

Homemade? No thanks. Funny shaped noodles? Nuh-uh. Extra veggies? I'll pass. I want broth, skinny noodles, and five or six miniscule pieces of chicken. That is what chicken noodle soup is supposed to be.
Needless to say, the Progresso Light variety of chicken noodle that I tried today has been added to the "nuh-uh" list. There are some things that you just can't go low sodium in and chicken noodle soup is one of those. Let's face it, it tastes better once you've poured it over a whole sleeve of saltine crackers anyway. And, honestly, adding real pieces of carrots to it? *Blech*
I'll stick with the Santa Fe Chicken, thankyaverymuch!
New Obsession: Kraftfoods -- I've been scouring this looking for recipes that I can make and attempt to healthy up. I can't wait to try this one (I'd make it this week if I had some pesto!) and this one (I'd gnaw off my arm if it was made of stuffing -- even the boxed kind, even the knock off Stove Top. I love any kind of stuffing which makes me so NOT be able to believe that I'll be on a plane while my whole fam is diving into Thanksgiving dinner!)
New Obsession 2: Figuring out a way to justify spending $168 on this dress given that it's so close to the holidays. Sigh. I want it.
New Obsession 3: Fazoli's breasticks. Okay, not so much THEM that's the obsession but wondering why the closest Fazoli's to me is 75 miles away in Waco! *Cries* I want one of those breadsticks sooooo bad.
