If there is a particular food the characters in my book are eating I sometimes find that eating the same thing myself enables me to feel like I'm really getting into the story.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345948308406299194.post-83168842203257041812015-09-01T18:00:59.380-04:002015-09-01T18:00:59.380-04:00I read over a leisurely breakfast (usually tea and...I read over a leisurely breakfast (usually tea and toast) almost every day. It's a wonderful way to wake up, and if I'm too busy the rest of the day to find time to read, I still have that half an hour in the morning under my belt. :)Caitlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03438306560702260311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345948308406299194.post-84691688246485015032015-08-25T15:41:57.513-04:002015-08-25T15:41:57.513-04:00I love having a snack while I am reading.

Like the little house books, eating hardtack (or crackers because who has hardtack lying around?) and beef jerky. I am actually a little embarrassed as I right this ha ha! I like getting into my books and food is a way to do that.

Come home and bake chocolate chip cookies. Sit on couch and read first chapter of books while eating warm cookies, until I discovered which book I most wanted to read first, usually because I got halfway through the book before remembering I was reading first chapters. <br /><br />This is still kind of my ideal, although life is a bit too busy for that to happen much.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06296827820807569574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345948308406299194.post-35740055280375156592015-08-24T21:29:59.207-04:002015-08-24T21:29:59.207-04:00My go-to snack while reading is...cheese.

Not sliced cheese, mind you, but block or even proper wheels of Gouda or whatever. <br /><br /><br />I also drink a lot of coffee when I read. :-DStephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15097908023032528200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345948308406299194.post-56093539197375646032015-08-24T20:42:27.247-04:002015-08-24T20:42:27.247-04:00Hah!

Nope, not much, hence the problems losing weight :) Although it does help when I'm at work and I've already got my pre-portioned lunch and snacks, like you said. And come to think of it, I'll usually have a bowl of something rather than, say, eating straight from a box or bag, so I suppose that counts as pre-portioned!

Ugh. <br /><br />Popcorn is one of my favorite reading snacks! A BIG bowl with some fancy cheese slices alongside it I'm a happy girl.<br /><br />I do also love tea while reading - and the season affects what kind. I could down gallons of iced tea during the hot months!

I'm always worried about this, but I've been making myself try new things at restaurants and so far, it's been pretty great :) I hope I don't mess up my mojo with this now...<br />I'm also one of those tea drinkers while reading, tea is comforting to me, especially with some milk added to it. I don't like to eat while reading a physical book, but when I'm on my ereader anything basically goes cause I only need one finger to swipe to the next page ;)Daisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11468649356197119023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345948308406299194.post-81036836543193851802015-08-24T15:07:58.695-04:002015-08-24T15:07:58.695-04:00I read in restaurants if I'm eating by myself,...I read in restaurants if I'm eating by myself, but otherwise, I hate eating while reading. I'm too worried about getting food stains on the books, or getting the screen dirty if I'm reading on my Kindle.ShellyShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14183404615688013084noreply@blogger.com
