Chili cheese fries

Ok, so our sons have always loved gross things.  Anything slimey or disgusting was right up their alley, so I wasn't terribly surprised when Colin sent a link to a website dedicated to food that will give you a heart attack. The website is called, "This is why you're fat, where dreams become heart attacks".

Why would I want to show this? Well I do know that pictures are powerful and memorable.  I also know that this website has pictures of food that can be very helpful to those of us who are trying to lose or maintain our weight.  Count me in on that.  I know I've talked about fried Twinkies in the past and the things that you can make with them, but in a morbidly fascinated way.  Well, this website is all about that.  It's like watching a car wreck on a movie, you know it's not real, but it looks pretty close.  Only I think this food, or at least some of it was actually eaten by people. 

The fried bacon ice cream could win a prize or the 100 x 100 In an Out Burger.  Colin said he was interested in trying the 60 pound rice krispie treat but I could tell he really wanted the hot dog pie.   Please don't think I'm encouraging anyone to acutally make this food, but a well placed photo, say by the refrigerator, might help keep the munchies down.  At least it's worth a try.  And remember, you can't stop looking at these pictures once you start.  Just a friendly warning....
