    scotch on the rocks....maybe with a splash of soda.

  12. autie (anonymous) says…

    1. Pywacket (anonymous) replies

      We understand--it's that scotch interfering with your efforts.

      ...and of course, home-made is healthier because the the salt can be replaced by spices.

  21. Pywacket (anonymous) says…

    Roasted, salted pecans. I have extremely low BP so the salt feels justified.

    Just yesterday, though, I found a source for lots of other interesting healthy snacks (and some rather provocative photography). Check this out: http://www.thespicybananas.com/

    It is indeed spicy! But the recipes I have read so far sound really good--there's a strawberry-basil-vodka lemonade recipe that makes me impatient for summer.

  22. nocrybabies (anonymous) says…

    water

  23. CWGOKU (anonymous) says…

    Bacon wrapped pizza rolls, deep fried.

  24. prospector (anonymous) says…

  25. Gandalf (anonymous) says…

    Fried chicken...or is that chicken fries? Preferably fresh killed on Mass.

  26. ms_canada (anonymous) says…

    I guess I would have to say multi-grain or taco chips and salsa along with a diet cola. Is that healthy?? Not too bad, I suppose.
    I counted the healthy snacks listed out of 33 comments above., TEN

  27. ms_canada (anonymous) says…

    But then again, if one is eating a generally healthy diet, the odd unhealthy snack would not kill one.

  28. 0day (anonymous) says…

    It starts with a v. (Voavanga)

    1. milkman_dan (anonymous) replies
