I woke up hungry this morning, so I'm heating up French fries at 3 am to eat with a mix of mayo and ketchup. They're delicious!
Pretty is awake, too, but told me she doesn't want any when I asked if she was hungry. It's a good thing I put enough fries in the oven for two people. When the French fries were done, Pretty came into the kitchen and took half of them.

Pretty always says she isn't hungry and then come in when my food is ready and takes some of it.
I just scoot over and let her take what she wants and I take what's left.

@DaddyEvil Yeah, you’ve clearly figured it out now. ‘No’ doesn’t really mean no in that situation

When my husband was young and he woke up in the middle of the night he wanted spaghetti.

@LadyDuck But he asked you to cook it, right? If you were here, I'd ask for spaghetti, too.

It seems like we mostly eat them during the night when one of us is hungry but no food is ready.

Sometimes it so happens that during a day we feel that we had enough to eat.
Yet that isn't the case.
So it is good to keep some things in Ready to Eat categories for those occasions when we wake up in the middle of night.
One option I can think of are cookies.
Another is dry fruits.
Yet each person can have their own preferences.

I have cookies in my bedroom closet but I'm not supposed to eat cookies or candy right now. There are also dried bananas in my bedroom closet. I can't have those, either.

One has to follow what doctor says during the course of treatment.

I’m like Pretty. Always say no, but deep dive into food once I smell it or see it.
We had huge portions of fries with our sandwiches yesterday. I could only eat so much and half my sandwich. Now I wish I had used a doggie bag. You just made me hungry!1 person likes this

Sometimes Pretty is funny like that. I didn't use to cook extra when she told me she didn't want any but I've learned she'll take what she wants and I can make more if I'm not happy with the "share" she leaves for me.
I just ate shredded beef sandwiches for lunch. You should have been here. I would share with you, too.

@DianneN There is still half the pot of shredded beef in the fridge.
Thanks. I'm sure it can't be because I've lived with her since she was a tyke that I can figure out what she'll do in most circumstances.

@DaddyEvil So, is that an invitation or are you just teasing me?
No, that can’t be. It must be something else totally different.

I’ve never had fries with mayo and ketchup. I may try that. I’ve never had fries at three in the morning. But I’ve eaten food at three in the morning sometimes. I’d wake up to go to the bathroom and since I’m already up, I’d go to the kitchen for a snack.

Mayo and ketchup is really good with fries and on burgers. On fast food place that we loved when I was in my twenties put it on their burgers. It was good!
You sound just like me. I get up, go to the bathroom and then wander into the kitchen to see if something sounds good.

@lovebuglena That's very true. I keep snacky type stuff in my bedroom closet. If I put it in the kitchen, Pretty will eat it all before I get to have any of it.
Once in a while I'll offer to share something from my closet with her and, sometimes, when I get out of the bathroom, she's standing in the hallway eating a box of something from my closet and then says something like, "You don't care if I eat this, do you?" After she's eaten most of the box.
No, I guess that's fine, since you've already eaten it.
Then she tells me I can always buy another box for myself.
That's not the point, though.

@DaddyEvil It’s good if there is stuff to much on. Frustrating when it’s not.

It seems like it’s a staple food item in America. Here in the Philippines, it has also become quite popular, especially after McDonald’s and Burger King started introducing it. Now, we have almost the same kinds of stores that are found in your place.

@DaddyEvil Yeah, that’s the difference between your place and ours. Mashed potatoes are available here too, but rice is the main staple food, so most fast-food places serve rice alongside chicken. Onion rings could also become popular here, but they’re more like side dishes that you pair with burgers or spaghetti.

@rsa101 I don't eat rice. Other people here will and do, though.
Fast food places don't offer rice unless it's a Chinese or Japanese restaurant.

We rarely eat French fries. The fast food places offer French fries or onion rings. We like onion rings when we go out for fast food. If we're in a restaurant, we order mashed potatoes or Pretty prefers mashed cauliflower. (I don't like mashed cauliflower.

The last time I was hungry at 3 am was 30 years ago when I was pregnant with my second child. I have memories of getting up and eating a snack.

Yes, it was. I don't eat French fries very often and those just hit the spot.

Pretty sounds exactly like me
I'd say I'm not hungry… then end up eating anyway. Sometimes I even finish everything lol! And I love fries, I could eat them anytime. I also like dipping them in a mayo-ketchup mix. It’s so simple, just two basic ingredients you usually have at home, but it tastes so good that I use it on almost everything! I use it as a dressing for salads, pairs really well with fish fillet, and I even enjoy it with some meats and veggies. It just makes everything taste better!

You know I am not lying at that moment when I was being asked and said I don't want any of it.
The later decision is a different thing.
My younger bro always got mad at me before but then he learned his lesson. He cooked noodles not just one pack but make it more than three because I'm not the only one who pissed him off with an inconsistent decision.

Eating junk food is not good for health...you think that mayo and ketchup is good for health. If its homemade no issue. If it is brought from shop, it's not healthy. Try to have healthy food cooked in home.
Pulses, including beans, lentils, and peas, are nutritious legumes that offer numerous health benefits and can be easily incorporated into a variety of dishes.

Since I rarely eat "junk food", then I don't worry about it.
I AM the cook in our house. My daughter hates to cook. This evening, I ate beef steak, potatoes, onions and sweet peppers for supper.

True. I'm used to Pretty stealing food I've made for me, so make plenty in case she decides she wants some, too. I can always refrigerate the extra and eat it the next day.1 person likes this
