Any cakey thing.<BR/><BR/>The worst are funnel cakes at the fair or the drive in (yes we still have one of those). And a year ago I went to the state fair to help with the honey booth in the exhibition hall. Outside the double doors was a booth that sold DEEP FRIED TWINKIES.<BR/><BR/>Okay, stay with me here. Apparantly deep frying changes a twinkie's inner nature. I would pay a LOT of money at a fancy restaurant to eat one of these (not out of a wax paper wrapper of course--presentation counts) but honest, it was the best thing I've ever put in my mouth.<BR/><BR/>Bad habits...sweets. Chocolate and cakey things. <BR/><BR/>Inara, you're the devil.

Never seen anything like it, and I've had lots of dogs in my life. I asked the vet and she said, "Oh, she's probably just nervous." She doesn't SEEM nervous so who knows? But it IS nice not to have to trim her nails. If only my other dog would pick up the same habit! Her nails resemble bear claws and she FIGHTS the clipping with a strength and ferocity faaar beyond her size (17 lbs.)!<BR/><BR/>AC<BR/>who only bites her thumb nailsLoucinda McGary aka Aunty Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02217492654108300014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-80537095807424171062007-09-08T19:50:00.000-04:002007-09-08T19:50:00.000-04:00Kirsten, I hate Fridays for that very reason!

But a Krispy Kreme maple glazed or--Heaven forfend--a Tim Horton's! <BR/><BR/>Baked goods are definitely my downfall. I love them all. I am also a great baker, which makes it worse.
