    Best headline of the week so far. :)

    can't say i ever had a Ding Dong. my wife craved Suzy Q's when
    she was preggers with our second. we never kept sweets in the
    house. not then, not now. i can't recall how many times she woke
    me up in the middle of the night to go to a 24 hour convenience
    store to get a Suzy Q. they most certainly were never around
    long enough to get moldy. :)

    I used to come home from school in 9th and 10th after smoking pot all
    day and have a couple of Ding Dongs or Hostess Cupcakes with a giant
    glass of milk. I wouldn't eat crap like that now, but back then they
    hit the spot. My son grew up on home baked snack cakes.

    in high school i was working all night friday and saturday
    nights as a baker in a donut shop. under the table. got paid in
    cash every sunday morning when i left. regretfully, it all went
    up in smoke. fridays were tough, was awake over 24 hours
    straight. the sugar kept me going all night. i ate so many
    damned donuts i got sick of them. it was nearly a decade and a
    half after that before i could enjoy eating donuts again. now i
    rarely eat them. a few dozen donuts in the break room is a regular
    thing at work. occasionally, like every couple months
    occasionally, i'll enjoy a glazed blueberry or chocolate fry
    cake donut.

    the only snack cakes i recall ever eating are Ho Hos and
    Twinkys. the last time i had either of those was sometime last
    century.

    I once met a slut that worked at Red Lobster. We had great sex, but she
    was really fucked up in the head, so it didn't last long.

    I sometimes miss those old days.

    Those Hostess snacks were just happy times when you're a little boy. I like a random Twinkie every now and then. I have a box of Choco Pies that I grab when when I like. They are the Korean version of a Moon Pie and they taste just as shitty as the real thing. Of course, the Koreans don't drink Mountain Dew or whatever the kids are drinking to wash it down their greedy gullets. That's a good thing. There's nothing wrong with Mountain Dew or Big Red etc., I'd rather have one of those drinks and forget about those nasty Choco/Moon pies. The combo
    of the two is just too much to bear, even for this intense person.

    i don't like anything real sweet. might have to do with the
    weekend sugar benders at the donut shop. i didn't shy away from
    sweets when i was younger. bourbon is too sweet for me.
    marshmallows make me gag. cake with real sweet icing i'll scrape
    most it off. etc.

    what i do really like is cookies sourced from Ukraine and
    Russia. there's an International food store in Henrietta,
    outside Rochester NY, stocked with goods from all over the globe.
    those cookies are not super sweet like most of the american crap
    on grocery store shelves, and are always delightfully satisfying.

    the store has a Halal meat market and a cooler stocked with Halal
    processed products too. we always get a different tube meat, am
    currently working on a tube of beef mortadella from Turkey, and
    have yet to bring something home we didn't like. never leave
    without some fresh chicken and beef.

    Even when it's made with butter, it's just too much sweet

    My step-mom's step-daughter gave us a box of chocolates from Siberia. It was a little strange in that the box and candy seemed to be hand-made. Things seemed to be a little off. I'm not a fan of candy from Siberia but that is perfectly natural. Places like Mexico, Sweden, Iceland, Japan, etc., have different ideas about candy.

    I use confectioner's sugar mixed with a little water or lemon juice.

    I make a dribbly version of that - using a drop or two of whatever the
    cake was flavoured with - lemon, orange, fiori di sicilia, vanilla,
    almond.

    I don't like cream cheese frostings - too sickly.
    The closest thing to that, that I make, is a simple butter/sugar mix to
    put in the middle of a Victoria Sponge.

    and I use granulated sugar as I prefer the grainy texture:-)

    those cookies are not super sweet like most of the american crap
    on grocery store shelves, and are always delightfully satisfying.

    tea cookies and black walnut cookies are among my
    favorites. i made a batch of black walnut cookies
    about a month and a half ago and put some in the freezer
    because i didn't want to eat them all at once.

    Most regular icing is like eating Crisco and sugar.

    not in my experience, but then i use the words
    icing and frosting for different things and then
    there are also variations.


    I like sweets but much of it is just disgusting,

    anything with Crisco is questionable these days, but
    Mom does make a frosting that includes some of it and
    i don't really like it but other people do.

    Best headline of the week so far. :)

    can't say i ever had a Ding Dong. my wife craved Suzy Q's when
    she was preggers with our second. we never kept sweets in the
    house. not then, not now. i can't recall how many times she woke
    me up in the middle of the night to go to a 24 hour convenience
    store to get a Suzy Q. they most certainly were never around
    long enough to get moldy. :)

    Those Hostess snacks were just happy times when you're a little
    boy. I like a random Twinkie every now and then. I have a box of
    Choco Pies that I grab when when I like. They are the Korean
    version of a Moon Pie and they taste just as shitty as the real
    thing. Of course, the Koreans don't drink Mountain Dew or whatever
    the kids are drinking to wash it down their greedy gullets. That's
    a good thing. There's nothing wrong with Mountain Dew or Big Red
    etc., I'd rather have one of those drinks and forget about those
    nasty Choco/Moon pies. The combo of the two is just too much to
    bear, even for this intense person.

    i don't like anything real sweet. might have to do with the
    weekend sugar benders at the donut shop. i didn't shy away from
    sweets when i was younger. bourbon is too sweet for me.
    marshmallows make me gag. cake with real sweet icing i'll scrape
    most it off. etc.

    what i do really like is cookies sourced from Ukraine and
    Russia. there's an International food store in Henrietta,
    outside Rochester NY, stocked with goods from all over the globe.
    those cookies are not super sweet like most of the american crap
    on grocery store shelves, and are always delightfully satisfying.

    the store has a Halal meat market and a cooler stocked with Halal
    processed products too. we always get a different tube meat, am
    currently working on a tube of beef mortadella from Turkey, and
    have yet to bring something home we didn't like. never leave
    without some fresh chicken and beef.

    Charnushka is the seasoning of Russian cookies. Lovely stuff!
