My chinese coworkers in San Francisco used to tell me that chinese people didn't eat many sweets in china, so not much of a taste for it. I guess I'm part chinese, then! (though like you, I do LIKE it, just that I can easily forgo it).Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00653383372182667361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12752424.post-80614065932991638652008-01-19T22:04:00.000-05:002008-01-19T22:04:00.000-05:00I like both, together usually.

Always have. My mom used to call ME the Cookie Monster. I do sway between both extremes but lately the only popcorn I've been eating is Crunch 'N Munch, toffee coated...The carb police should be after me. I know salt is bad yadayada, but from all the carb stuff in the press, it's the sweets that get you in the end.<BR/>Suffice it to say, I'm going to the dentist Monday...Methinks me, Cookie Monster, have some cavities...<BR/><BR/>I like Ian's questions, too. In just one week I think I need more than one hand to count the number of people I've seen picking their noses while driving.

I've never actually done it. <BR/><BR/>But even though I love all Asian food, I gotta admit they are a little thin on the dessert repertoire. I've always wondered a bit about that.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14599462281364463565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12752424.post-18796267610987011192008-01-19T10:55:00.000-05:002008-01-19T10:55:00.000-05:00Oh Karen that is a very tough question for a gal l...Oh Karen that is a very tough question for a gal like me.<BR/><BR/>I like to start off with a little salty and have a nice sweet finish.<BR/><BR/>Yes, I love it all.

Like you, I'...I like both but I tend toward savory. Like you, I'd give up dessert for a good appetizer. <BR/><BR/>But sometimes, I really like them together. For instance my recipe for cornbread is pretty sweet, and I LOVE it with my spicy chili. Also, I love things like Peanut M&Ms (although I always eat the candy and chocolate off the peanut and then eat the peanut; I rarely pop the whole thing in my mouth and just chew). I also really like the Take 5 candy bar that Hershey's makes - chocolate, peanut butter, caramel, peanuts and pretzels. A perfect combo for a pregnant woman or a woman with PMS. <BR/><BR/>And you can tell your husband that as for #2, I totally agree with him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12752424.post-33963745295774520722008-01-19T08:12:00.000-05:002008-01-19T08:12:00.000-05:00I love salty and sweet and I love them at the same...I love salty and sweet and I love them at the same time.
