Do you have any serious addictions? I have developed a new one.

I admit that I begin my day with coffee and a cigarette. Even before my ritual bacon and eggs. In the early afternoon, I often switch to tea. Later, I have been known to sip wine or beer. But I am most worried about my most recent addiction. Casper's hot dogs are among the best I've had, even when compared with the "Chicago style" hot dogs of my youth. They have just the right amount of mustard, pickle relish, onion, and tomato on them. I get my jalapino peppers for free. The onions and tomatoes are sliced fresh, right before your eyes. The cost? $5.00 per dog, including tax. I have had these dogs in the late afternoon for something like four of the past seven days. I cannot escape the allure. I just had one, and am happy and sleepy. Do you have any addictions right now? Are you happy with your addiction(s)?

I have several eating addictions. I used to be a heavy smoker but I quit around 10 or so years ago.

I have never heard of Casper hot dog's. I like mustard and relish on mine. Once in awhile I'll have one with just ketchup. My only addiction would be coffee. Here in the past couple weeks I have enjoyed some hot coco at night. I think because it has rained 22 of the last 25 days and there is no end in sight.

@kiran8 I see me going to others gardens and checking their flowers. In real life too, I am inclined to roam the garden rather than sit inside.

I don't like hotdogs. The only thing that makes them barely palatable is a heaping of sauerkraut, and definitely nothing else.

@Marty1 Really? Maybe it's something you can become accustomed to? We eat a lot of dried fruit of all sorts - raisins and sultanas, figs, prunes, cranberries, apricots - and I haven't ever noticed any effect such as you describe. I once munched my way through almost a whole 500g packet of prunes (that's over a pound) without any discernible effect, even though people always used to sn igger at prunes as being something that people ate to ease constipation. (Had to put the space in the word sn igger otherwise it wouldn't be allowed).

Not got addicted to anything. But yes there are few snacks and if they are in sight, I tend to cross my limits. So I don't keep them much. Salted peanuts and fried pakoras are the most tempting ones

@TheHorse Oh! I assumed that you might be knowing it as you often try Indian food. It's a very popular snacks item. It's vegetables fritters. We use bengal gram flour and rice flour as batter.
