The Treat Stomach
LIZZIE…We joke about this in our family – that we have two stomachs, the Regular Stomach and the Treat Stomach. So your Regular Stomach can be completely full. Like you could not possibly fit one more tiny piece of broccoli in there. But hey, two seconds later, you can have a huge dish of ice cream because….your Treat Stomach is totally empty!
Here’s my list of favorite items to put in the Treat Stomach. Well, okay. Here’s my list of favorite junk foods:
Captain Crunch cereal
Sun chips
Soda (Especially cream soda. Also root beer. Oh yeah, Coke Zero.)
Jujubes
Swedish fish
Cheesecake
Popcorn
Oreos (Double-stuffed, please)
Ramen (Technically not a treat, but as my mom never tires of pointing out, not exactly a nutritious food choice either)

The wonders of what food does for my life. The sounds of stir-frying, the smells of baking, the expolsions of microwaving (Maybe that’s just me). As a teenager, I have realized that “eating” and “consuming” become the same word. It isn’t my fault, I have an excuse: “fast-metabolism”. Though my Mother always tells me “That all will change in about twenty years” but how can say that when I eat all of this:
Deep-fried Twinkies (I don’t care if they’re chemicals!)
Bento boxes
Yakisoba (It’s ramen on steroids.)
Sour Gummi-worms
Chicken Pot Pie (If you don’t like these, something’s wrong with you.)
Garlic Fettuccini Alfredo
Home-made Chocolate Chip Cookies (Straight out of the oven.)
Fried Chicken
French Onion Soup
Chicken and Dumpling Soup
Honey Crystalized Ham
With my Tabasco at the ready, all of these wonderful pleasures are enjoyed while sitting on my couch watching Humpfrey Bogart classics.
