So what's your favorite indulgence?

Me? I think it is coffee. I can't drink enough of it. I also have a soft spot for all things salty. I'm not a big chocolate eater - except maybe for occassional hormonal craving - and I'm not big on any alcoholic drinks.

Chocolate propabably. Preferable dark chocolate- the higher the cocoa content, the better. And T_M's chocolate cake has to go on record as one of the best I've ever had.

Mills & Boon romance novels. Seriously, I don't indulge that often, but when depression hits, a M&B or two seems to help. It's a fantasy world that takes no effort, where I know the world will end up happily ever after. Star Trek: TNG can have the same effect.

I don't ever feel guilty about anything I eat. I don't drink alcohol, I don't take recreational drugs, and I'm celibate. Guilty pleasures? Huh! Chance would be a fine thing.

Fairy bread or ice cream with a third of a bottle of Chocolate Ice Magic on it i.e. more Ice Magic than ice cream.

Favourite indulgence? It depends.

If we're talking food (and let's face it, when are we not?), my indulgence food is creme brulee. Yum.

If we're talking non-food, an aromatherapy massage. I've decided to treat myself this year, and have booked a monthly aromatherapy massage and facial. Something to look forward to every month.

I'd have to go with jelly beans. Especially gourmet funky flavored jelly beans. I'm not much for candy and only even like chocolate once a month (and even then, only certain types of chocolate) but if there are jelly beans in front of me, I can't not eat them.

Hmm.

At the top of my head, I'd say: Steak (variation: Steak 'n Eggs), bacon (variation: bacon wrapped steak; asparagus fried with bacon), chocolate, chocolate covered espresso beans, 'fancy' coffees, crême brulée, Pillsbury, Grand Marnier and a good ol' fashioned TV-thon (Ab Fab, Xena, X-files, Buffy..). An evening with all of the above will be very relaxing indeed ('cept maybe not with all the caffeine..)

I did go through a pretty intense Quick Toast obsession while at uni. I have no idea how common or uncommon this is, but my sister gave me the idea which I slightly modified: take a very thick slice of Belgian bread, cover with thin (or not so thin) slabs of butter and a good heapin' of Quick chocolate milk powder. Put in toaster oven until golden chocolatey brown. Mmmmmmm... (I might've mentioned this in the recipe topic.)

I think I might be one of the few people who actually gained weight whilst being a poor student...

I also have other indulgences that I'll keep to myself, for a number of reasons.

Heh, it never occuried to me to think of anything else but!
