However, my addiction forces me to have a bit of it on almost anything/everything - it is especially good on the side of a plate of spaghetti tossed simply with good olive oil, salt, crushed red pepper and either fresh basil or parsely or a pinch of dried oregano, and parmesan. Also orgasmic with roasted chicken and/or roasted potatoes.

You know what, AWR, I think fresh garlic itself is addictive, I really do. Whenever I make my special meatball recipe for spaghetti and meatballs, I put a ton of fresh chopped garlic in the mixture. Well, not 'really' a ton, but about a billion times more than the written recipe mentions. And then, I become addicted to the meatballs. I've concluded that it has to be the garlic. What a wondrous substance it is. And with significant health properties too.

Seriously, without coffee, I don't see how anyone can get through college. That said, I tried never to schedule any class before, say, 10:00am, though my Russian professor always scheduled our Russian classes for Tue/Thurs at 9:00am. And I had four years of those damned early Russian classes. Almost annoying enough to drop them, but since it was my minor, I stuck it out. Definitely not a morning person, given a choice.

Ah, but peanuts are *really* good for you. The oil is excellent, and the protein is good, so I wouldn't feel guilty at all if I were you. Yep, I only eat them at baseball games too. At $4 per bag, they're a fairly reasonable snack, compared to the other outrageous ballpark prices.
