Guilty Pleasure #1

One thing I have learned over the past ten years of freedom (meaning no direct guidance from my parents) is that I have very little tolerance for temptation when it comes to having things that I want, or crave.

Like yesterday, I left at lunch time to go get my allergy shots. Usually I don't get excited about this practice because I normally go on Tuesdays before work, but yesterday was special. I left work and started driving south through the shady neighborhood of 31st and Gillham, and it occurred to me...there must be a Church's Chicken somewhere near!! Sure enough, as I was stopped at a stop light, I could see one right around the corner.

So I pull up to the drive-thru (yep, in my Lexus RX 300) and order a two-piece dark chicken dinner with mashed potatoes, a biscuit, and a large coke. Thank God I had enough cash so that Jarrett wouldn't see this charge on the bank statement ;o) I paid the $3.43 - what a bargain - and start driving down the road with a leg of chicken slopping in my fingers.

Mmmm it was good!!! Then I ate the biscuit and if you haven't had Church's Chicken, it's like KFC only greasier. I think the biscuits are actually fried instead of baked but I'm not sure. They might just be baked on top of a slab of butter.

Then on to the mashed potatoes with brown gravy. Granted, this meal isn't nearly as good as my Mom's fried chicken and milk gravy, but it just has to be eaten every once in awhile so I remember what I'm missing out on.

This post is #1 in a long list of things that I just need to confess. What is your favorite guilty pleasure??
