agincourtgirl, I see your guilt, and raise you.

Guilt	What is yours?	Explain yourself
Culinary:	Peanut butter sandwiches with white cheddar cheese.	Sweet, savory and salty all at once. Also, protein! A long time ago I would have said "canned octopus", mainly because in French it's "poulpe" and that's fun to ask for at the store. But since I haven't been near a store which sells canned poulpe since roughly 1990, PB&CC it is.
Literary:	L'ouevre du Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child	It's not particularly easy to justify, but let's simply say that they provide a nice infusion of contemporary pulp larded with occasionally useful research downloads. With Michael Slade it's more spectacular, but considerably less comfortable.
Audiovisual:	Flash Gordon (1980)	Yeah, that one. With the Queen theme song/score, the Eurotrash supporting cast and the sateen-obsessed costume-designer. With Brian Blessed in wings, Timothy Dalton playing the king of the tree-folk, and Max von Sydow in a bald cap. THAT one. Happy now?
Musical:	Pat Benatar	Operatically trained, attitudinally challenged, waaay too committed to enabling her husband's delusions of songwriterdom. "Red Vision" is one of the great unsung (ha!) epic odes of the late 20th century; ditto for "Temporary Heroes", in which the disconnect between implied emotional impact and stated text reaches staggering heights. Plus, fun to sing along with!
Celebrity:	Pregnant actresses	Oh motherhood, what unworkable biological wreckage is left in your wake! Believe me, when I had Cal, there was no way on earth I thought his existence would lead to me mooning over pictures of A. Jolie's bump and Katie Holmes' beachball, but there ya go. At least the scar's already fading.;)
