At the stroke of midnight - something just seems to happen to me
A transformation of sorts
A wanderlust for leftovers
A search for gastric satisfaction
An uncontrollable urge to munch on something
A deep-seated longing for gastronomic satiety
As kids , my brothers ( and sisters), and I would inevitably sneak down into the forbidden kitchenworld
And in the glow of a lone refrigerator bulb, our eyes would scan the horizon for bite-size treasures
As we grew older - we mastered the skill of "heating" remnants of the dinner just passed
Canned goods were a constant joy
Instant noodles were a boon
Pre-cooked was a convenience
And microwaving was a thrill that we looked forward to ...
Years past the childhood that molded us
The habit of midnight forays has remained
Tonight was no different
I write this post still reeling from the satisfaction of having had my small "midnight fix"
Hoping that all of you are similarly happy with the end of your day...

Ah, one of my comfort foods from childhood. I eat mine with hard-boiled eggs. Yummy...I think I'll make that for lunch! Thanks for the reminder.

heidi,
yessss - it's a malady that i have passed on to my son. He often joins me at midnight as we gorge on SPAM, Vienna sausages, corned beef, hot dogs, pork&beans etc. Ahhhhhhhh - I can just see the cholesterol building up.
We really have to stop this :-)
