MyLotting With Honey Roasted Peanuts

Have you ever sat down on MyLot with a can of Honey Roasted Peanuts before? First time for me that is for sure. I am not a snack person or sit around snaking on stuff. But this morning when I went to the market to buy some Fresh Hot French Bread that is delivered at 6 AM I noticed they had honey roasted peanuts. I decided to buy me a can.
Not too long ago my cat Caesar came meowing around my feet begging for me to fill his food dish. Darn, I left the can of honey roasted peanuts sitting on the counter next to the container of cat food. I just couldn’t resist opening this up and taking a few. Well a few lead to a few more, and then more, and before you know it I am back in my office with the can in hand.
So right now I am telling myself how healthy peanuts are and what a great source of protein they have. Well not so sure about the honey roasting on them and if they are healthy for me or not. But you know what ever now and then you just got to be bad and eat something that is ½ healthy and ½ bad for you.
Fair warnings if you want to do this one don’t bring the can with you. Before you know it ½ the can is gone.
How bad are you about snacking and working on your computer? Do you love to be bad and snack when you’re on MyLot? What is one of your favorite snacks to eat when working on your computer?

I lover nuts and can live on them. I guess that is because I don't eat a lot of meat or stuff like this. I love veggies and fruits and this is basically what I eat with a lot of fish. Oh I love fish. I made the best ginger fish the other night you'd of loved it.

@AbbyGreenhill Ginger fish is so simple and easy to make. I make the recipe up and send it to you. You\ll love it. Nothing but some fresh ginger, carrots, onions, and a few other veggies you might like. I use chicken broth for my base and add a bit of corn flour inside of it. But you can use corn starch as well. Well anyhow I'll send this off to you. Takes like 7 min or so to cook.

Don't even ask. I am the queen of snackers. I am not happy about it. I keep putting off getting my favorite snack for the last three or four months. Why? Because I will eat them up quick. It is See's chocolate truffles. Yum! butter cream, marzipan, mocha, and chelsies are all favorites. I would love to get some but they are so expensive.

Oh I am so lucky we don't have any of these items here. I do like See's peanut butter brittle. That is basically the only thing I can eat from there and I do love it a lot. I am not the queen of snacks but these looked so good today I bought them. Now I am wondering if I should of left them in the market. No not really. I can eat so much and then I am done. I had my fill for today and more than likely won't pick them up again. Thankfully I have a major junk food eater who lives in this house. I am sure he will finish these up rather quickly.

I really dont snack on the computer ...I do love peanuts tho.
I prefer the ones that are fresh though no bags or cans. You can buy them here across the street at the health store.

@TiarasOceanView Yes this can happen. But to me I feel sort of sick if I eat too much of them. I can handle so much and then I am done.

I remember fresh peanuts. I do love them too. For me I never have food around my computers. I don't even have drinks around them. But today for some unknown reason the honey roasted peanuts ended up next to me and my keyboard. I had to stop and move them away. I have too many hard drives and stuff around here I can afford to have anything spilled on them or even ants get near my stuff.

Oh yes I do know about ants here on the islands. That is why I end up keeping so many things in the refrigerator around here.

Normally I can't do this at all because of all the tools and equipment I have around me. I shouldn't never of done it this day but I just couldn't resist. It ended as quickly as it started because I had to swap out a head and I can't have this sort of stuff lying around my computer room.

I try to eat "dried walnuts" as snacks these days.. healthy and I don't have to feel guilty. You should try "honey roasted walnuts or cashew"... NOM

@poehere yep they can be very yumlicious.. I try to stay away because of the high sugar content

I basically only like cashews without the honey roasting on them. Plus here we only can get peanuts, cashews, and almonds. I haven't seen a lot of different ones than this. Not often do they have honey roasted ones but today they got some in.

@Drosophila Yes I can see this one and how if you have issues this one is very bad for you. I don't normally eat this but today was a major exception and they did taste wonderful.

I love honey roasted peanuts but i only buy them if their on sale or the price goes down. I love to snack too but i try to have healthy snacks and not anything bad for you. I sometimes snack while mylotting too but not that often.

Yes they are good. I don't snack around my computer.I normally will take a break and go make some fruit or something else to eat. But today I was bad and had to stop immediately because I had to work on a hard drive and couldn't have salt and stuff on my fingers.

I never snack on food when I am on the computer. I do like honey roasted peanuts.

Yes this was rather tasty. I had to give them up rather quickly because I had work to do and couldn't have sticky fingers to do the work with. But it was fun while it lasted.

Yes this is an excellent idea. Plus all the food and crumbs fall into your keyboard. If you have a laptop this one can be very bad. I have cleaned out a few laptop computer filled with ants. I did find a lot of food inside of them too.

Oh , no I don't eat anything while I am on the computer, I could and used to , but end up eating more than I want. I have to decide to get off the computer if going to eat the internet will survive with out me for a bit. I get done eating goodies, quickly in order to get back online.

This one is so funny. This is a first for me and I stopped rather quickly. I had to go and open a few hard drives and sweet sticky fingers is not good to do this one with. So I put them away and never looked back. Haven't touched them again.

I love peanuts, the roasted plain one. But I had to restrain myself eating too much of it because it causes knee pains apparently due to uric acid.

I know what you mean you cannot just eat a few. I have not had cashews or nuts for quite some time. There was something here about eating peanuts so I thought I would get some at the store. I bought cashews and opened them and they were so good. I could not eat just a few and now I know why I have not had them in a long time.

Peanuts could be addictive especially when honey roasted so I always have to practice self control when I eat them.

I've been naughty, I'm still snacking on the goodies I received for Christmas, several tins of chocolates and cookies.
