The Art of the Midnight Snack
« on: August 21, 2014, 12:56:29 AM »
There are many variations on the midnight snack. Here is my latest:

Lechuga con pollo - In a lightly buttered skillet, brown one side of a flour tortilla, leaving the opposite side flexible and not-buttery. Placing the tortilla on a plate, brown side up, arrange some lettuce in the middle, and put some chicken salad on top of that. Season to taste. Roll, burrito-style, and eat.


Other suggestions?

1 can Spam, cubed and browned in a skillet. Add 3-4 large scrambled eggs, cook to desired done-ness.  On the side 2 slices of whole wheat bread toasted and buttered.

And I was afraid mine was a bit too complicated and fattening for a midnight snack.

Glass of water.  Most of the time "hunger" is dehydration.  I try not to eat anything after dinner (typically around 6pm).

If I do a midnight snack, it is likely popcorn popped in my NordicWare microwave popcorn popper, so I don't have to use any oil.  A couple of sprays of olive oil so that the seasoning (Snappy Popcorn) sticks, and I have a low-fat, low-calorie and high fiber snack.

I don't believe I've ever had a midnight snack in my life. Like Chris, if I get up in the middle of the night, it's for a glass of water.

It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

If I'm up, with no prospect of getting back to sleep, I might make some popcorn or fry an egg.

If I'm going to try to go back to sleep, I don't eat, because the acid indigestion that WILL wake me up a couple of hours later will be monumental.

Is it a "midnight snack" if you had supper/dinner (all y'all hash out which it was) between 5 and 6 PM and you are going to be up till well after the sun comes up again?

Certain branches of the .mil created "midrats" to kinda-sorta cover such situations.  And then the hungry scroungers were allowed to converge and fight over the scraps left when the midle watch had been messed.

As for "I'm up and my tummy is rumbly" - I prefer a (largish) cup/mug of broth.  Preferably sodium free and non-fat.  Putting essentially flavored caffiene-free uncarbonated warm water in goes a long way towards quieting things and deals with the need to stay hydrated.

stay safe.

That's a nice snack.  You can't even see the cracker for all the cheese.

you people make midnight snacks too complicated.

a proper midnight snack is whatever you can grab and consume without ever even turning the kitchen light on.

This. If you're working for it, it's a meal, not a snack.

Ploughman's is a staple here. Pickles, sharp cheddar, whatever meat slice/chunk is available, some bread if I've been froggy.

I buy these little tubs of brownies from the grocery store, between the brownies and whatever crackers or chips are in the house usually does it for me.

Usually I just need a mouthful or so to put something on my tummy to stop the rumbling, then I shuffle back to bed.

The most effort I'll put in is to nuke something. Usually that happens when my afternoon nap inadvertantly turned into bedtime and I wake up around midnight and realize I do need to actually eat something.
