I love food. In fact, I love food almost as much as I love beer.
Right now, I'm considering going to the dining hall and making one of my breakfast monstrosities that keeps me sane throughout the mornings of seeing the same breakfast menu for the past three years.
How to make:
Ingredients: Crispy bacon Croissants Cream cheese
Preparation: Cut a croissant in half (as you would do if using it for a sandwich). Spread cream cheese on both halves. Stuff if with bacon, close and enjoy!
Haha, okay, so maybe it isn't much of a recipe, but it's damn delicious. The buttery croissant on the outside with the cool cream cheese mixing with the hot and crispy bacon within. It is amazing! Then again, I'm also addicted to sweet-salty combinations. Kettle corn? Mmm... Snyder's Honey Mustard and Onion Nibblers? Mmmmmm... Teriyaki Beef Jerky? Mmm...
Of course, I love just salty things, too. I really am a sodium addict when it comes down to it. In fact, I think the only purely sweet food I love are the Cranberry Blissbars from Starbucks. They are fucking scrumptious and you should try them next winter (they are seasonal)! Oh, oh, and my mom's berry crisp, because it tastes awesome, is slightly tart, and is packed with TLC. I enjoy chocolate and all of that jazz, too, but I figure that's just normal.
Some of my other favorite snacks are Gardettos, garlic and herb Triscuits with marinated mozzarella, peppered Beef Jerky, and ranch Corn Nuts.
My love of food is one of the few reasons I can appreciate life not being fair, because, if life was fair, I'd be fat.
I so envy you for your last sentence. I love food more than anyone I know, yet I gotta restrain myself or I'll explode while my friends can feast completely remorselessly. Oh cruel world...
And it's not gotten easier since I moved to France. Imagine that.

The worst thing is when people rag on people for their weight/fat. Most don't realize that the biggest factor deciding your weight is your genetics -_-
I'm not quite sure about the bacon cream cheese croissant tho lol. Cream cheese is always hit or miss to whether or not I like it on something or not. I can imagine if it was heated it would taste amazing tho.

Here in America we actually have one of the greatest innovations of all time... bacon flavored cream cheese! can't find a picture of it though :\ there must be too much shame.

Ah, I'm sorry to hear that. Enjoy some french onion soup for me, though!

unfortunately, curing bacon takes a week and 2 hours to smoke, and homemade croissants take at least 8 hours.
life isn't fair.
Haha, I have the problem with doubling the amount of butter required in about everything I make, though! My friend and I are actually curing some bacon together right now, so maybe we'll have to try making it fully home-made!

And bacon salt and bacon mayonnaise and I've even have tried bacon flavored vodka! While I appreciate the bacon salt on my eggs with breakfast, I would recommend everyone avoid bacon vodka.

Well... sometimes! I always have a huge salad with lunch and dinner and fruit with every meal.
I just eat tons of fatty, tasty things, too! :D
In high school I used to work out ~9 times a week, so I had to intake massive amounts of calories. I just never lost my taste for the fatty foods I had to eat!

Please don't take this personally, bit right now I dislike/envy/am jealous of you. D:<
Never tried croissants before like that, but I might give it a go some time when I don't feel too self-conscious about my weight. ^^;
