While my diet consists mostly of Osmolite<\/a> (it’s isotonically good!), I do occasionally give my taste buds a work-out. Here are my five favorite oral treats:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Mashed potatoes–My ultimate comfort food. If I knew death was imminent and I had time for a final meal, this would be the only thing on the menu. When I was hospitalized for extended periods as a kid, I would request mashed potatoes with nearly every lunch and dinner. The nurses thought I was a little strange.<\/li>\n
  2. Pringles–Only a truly advanced civilization could produce a snack food with such a perfect shape and texture. While some of the more exotic flavors are interesting (a handsome reward to anyone who can hook me up with more of the jalapeno variety), give me a can of the originals, some ranch dip, a couple episodes of Battlestar Galactica, and I’m a happy man. <\/li>\n
  3. Brie cheese–Because to be a good liberal, you have to like Brie. Especially good when eaten while reading the New York Times or watching a public television documentary <\/li>\n
  4. Clam chowder–the New England variety. It should be thick enough to hold the spoon upright. <\/li>\n
  5. Junior Mints–They’re quite refreshing. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
