Help
All of a sudden it ocurred to me - we have no Snack Thread!
Today's 4:30 snack: Pierre Robert, a "sharp Vermont cheddar" from Fairway, Pont Leveque...and crackers and duck terrine that someone just brought me from a Paris market.
Wish I had some cornichons.
Snacks Well we certainly need it

Two popular snacks around these parts are Beer Cheese and Benedictine spread. The latter is a cucumber cream cheese concoction. Both are served with good bread or crackers, and pair exceptionally well with cocktails.

Chocolate, usually. If I want something savory, I'll have either soy crisps or some of the less fatty Japanese crackers/puffs. The vending machine in the kitchen is a last resort.
At home I'll nosh on whatever's available, and I also have a stash of frozen takoyaki.

Local dungeness crab and artichoke spread on little squares of pumpernickel bread: the best use for dark bread I know.

I shouldn't snack, either.
When I do, I try to make it a piece of fruit or a small handful of raw almonds (a container of which I keep handy for just such occasions). Or maybe a bit of cheese.
When I'm premenstrual, all bets are off & I should be locked in a closet somewhere. Otherwise stuff kept on hand for kids' lunchboxes (pretzels, goldfish, those lurid orange peanut butter / cheese cracker things) is apt to disappear without a trace. Ditto anything chocolate that happens to reside in my baking supply inventory.

What's wrong with snacking? Having very large meals is a lot worse.
Duh. The problem is it's not instead of large meals, it's between.
