The Oatmeal Cream Pie that Started it All

The first time I remember being a food monomaniac it was the Little Debbie Oatmeal Cream Pie. Something about the crinkle of the plastic wrappers, the moist chewy cookie, the fluffy snow white icing... I had to have them. Like, for every single meal.

Because I had intelligent and loving parents, I was not allowed to eat them for every single meal. But suffice to to say that my mom basically couldn't buy them as fast as I could eat them.

You might think that I would grow out of this culinary monomania--this desire to obsessively eat exclusively one food. At least until I tire of it. You would be wrong. This eating habit has carried on through my childhood and adolescence into my adult life.

So, follow me as I become periodically, unexplainably obsessed with one food after another.
