Hey - What's Your Favorite Sifting Snack?
posted by critttter 1 week 2 days ago • 337 views
So I'm starting to feel in a rut with my current Kosher dill pickle Sifting snack. And I'm looking for new ideas. What works for you?
Bonus points if it balances nicely with beer and keyboard cleanliness.

Chick patties, the textured vegetable protein type. Or soup or mac and cheese. And Bulleit Burboun. And a half dozen cigarettes.

Rosemary & Olive Oil Triscuits, or Cheerios right from the box. Bushmill's or Crown Royal on the rocks, or Seven & Seven.

Sometimes a valium mist gets mixed in with it all.

I've always found beer goes well with beer. Maybe a good pretzel. But mostly beer.

I just polished off a bag of goofy 'gourmet' chocolate corn chips. WTF? they keep my fingers keyboard-clean, but they were weird and probably more complimentary to permanent markers than beer. Jonny, do you ever mix up your beer? For example, Corona with no lime, chased by a PBR? I'm looking for inventive combinations...

And, Schmawy, Menthol or non, light of barely filtered?

Kronos, you've got to have one clean keyboard, my friend, what do you eat when you feel risky with the old Hewlett Packard? Wait, don't tell me, you have a plastic keyboard cover ??? Isn't that akin to covering the sofa with vinyl??

Uh, Schmawy, soup? Thick, chowder types, or splattery boullions?

And is the Valium mist some sort of Aussie prescription?

flat bread (or pita bread) with sun dried tomato & basil hummus with a dash of tapatio hot sauce on each bite.

^Good thing I'm a gentleman, or that remark would be so easy to exploit.

I'll leave that to rottenseed.

Air-popped popcorn with butter and garlic salt is my latest sift-snack addiction. Add parmesam if you are feeling decadent.

Nutter Butters, or Salt and Vinegar chips... preferably Tim's or Kettle brand. Goat cheese and sundried tomato Quesadillas, or Trader Joe's Yogurt and chive dip with chip of choice; I like sesame water crackers, or toasted mini-pitas!

Grilled cheese sandwich with curly fries and ranch dressing. (So if one day I just stop posting, you'll all know why.)

I'm particular to apples of the Gala type. I don't really eat in front of the computer. In fact I'm finding myself more and more withdrawn into life outside of cyberspace. Crazy init.

I don't usually snack while I'm sifting, but I do enjoy some Orville Redenbacher microwave popcorn: the movie theater butter flavor with the extra cholesterol-upping, artery-clogging meltable butter you pour over. And to go with my salties, I gotta have sweets: a pack of Twizzlers.

...and a Diet Coke.

mmmmmm..Bulleit is great straight whiskey, good pick schmawy- like Dickel too.....those damn Triscuits with cracked pepper and olive oil and the rosemary ones, are addictive as crack-cream cheese, and a shitload a pickles-I eat pickled okra, cukes, radish, tomatoes, anything with vinegar-(beers)

nasty, dude-combos are better...anyone ever remember those Wise cheese waffle crackers???...that cheese powder they used was orange crack powder......

ewwww, fiefly!!....Both those snacks are toxic, the butter smell causes lung problems, and phenylketoneurics is a government plot to keep fat asses fat!!(phenylalanine -amino acid that could increase weight loss/control, sexual interest, memory enhancement, and alleviate symptoms of depression)Stick to popcorn on the stove top[olive oil and Parmesan]
and good ol' fashioned sugar-fizz.......

Not sayin' yer ass is fat, never seen it.....

Wow. I'm going to have all these suggestions mimeographed and bound with staples, and I shall have the Ladies Guild sell copies of it for 25 cents! (All proceeds to plant petunias around the town stop signs...)

Talisker and mango sorbet. Excuse me while I adjust my ascot. No....mostly beer and any kind of nut, except I'm not too fond of the Brazil nuts, kinda pasty.

Sammiches, smoked turkey with swiss and ranch, preferably on whole grain honey wheat. Various other things, fruits, yogurt what ever. Oddly enough I tend not to sift when I drink, that's probably for the best.

"Withdrawing from cyberspace" is why I downvoted. I thought that in order to post comments on the internet at all, you have to be a pasty faced hermit. And you can NEVER eat something as healthy as an apple! Try Top Ramen and Jolt.

Methinks you have not spent much time in Oklahoma. That is where I'm from, and I love the stuff. There are many more just like me there (at least in that regard).
