Frosting

I have a strange (or maybe not so strange) addiction to frosting.  Not even homemade frosting, but particularly frosting from the can... you know, by Betty or Duncan.  My favorite thing to do with frosting is put it on saltine crackers. Mmmm.... the perfect mixture of salty and sweet!!  I developed this liking from my grandparents because it was always a familiar dessert around their house. I was finally caught once during a mid-afternoon indulgence a few years ago, and found out that my love of frosting wasn't as uncommon as I thought.  Sooner than later, there were a group of about 5 of us so devoted to this sweet treat that we would get together at least once a week for C.N.F. parties (Crackers-N-Frosting).  We even ventured out beyond saltines and tried anything from strawberries to apples to carrots.  I've decided that frosting can make pretty much anything taste good.

There's really no point to this post, other than I have 1/3 of a container of cream cheese frosting in my fridge right now and I really want to go the store to buy some saltines.  If you haven't tried this before, you should.  (And for those of you who say you do this same thing already but with graham crackers, you're missing out.  Saltines are way better with frosting).

Saltines? I don't know about that, but I do love some chocolate frosting with graham crackers. Now that's good stuff.

Ugh! I was so excited to leave my awesome graham cracker comment, when, WHAM, I read the last sentence. No comment left. Got nothing... except that I like my saltines with straight up BUTTER. Yum.
