Favorite Things

Some of my favorite things . . .

Favorite Stadium Snack: hot pretzels (light on the salt, with mustard)

Favorite Pop: Diet Coke (Diet Pepsi is not "okay" and Diet Rite not even worth talking about). I am also fond of regular Dr. Pepper. Yes, it's called "pop."

Favorite Competitive Reality Programs: Top Chef and The Biggest Loser

Favorite Piece of Punctuation: the semi-colon

Favorite Fast Food French Fries: Burger King (a good batch of these fries is better than a good batch of McDonalds fries, and BK seems more consistent in fry quality to me)

Favorite Don Pablos Location: Rookwood Pavilion in Norwood, OH.

Favorite Sport to Watch: My answer are team specific. I enjoy watching Notre Dame play college football and basketball and the Xavier Musketeers play college basketball.

Favorite Era of Liturgical Music: 1980's Glory and Praise and guitars era.

Favorite Lean Cuisine Pizza: Spinach and Mushroom. I used to love the Margherita one, but they have changed the recipe and it now tastes like a Healthy Choice piece of crap.

Favorite Cowboy Novel: Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry (probably the only cowboy novel I've read, but still . . .)

Favorite Brand of Conversation Hearts: Last year I would have said Sweethearts brand ("the official candy of love"), but I suspect the company has changed the recipe as of this year. The colors are now garish and the flavors offensive. My vote goes to Brachs . . . a little too soft, but the flavor is good.

Favorite Grocery Store Chain: Kroger. The absence of Kroger in Chicagoland is a real bummer to me.

Favorite Premium Ice Cream: Graeter's Toffee Chip and Graeter's Black Raspberry Chip

Favorite Ice Cream Available in Your Grocer's Freezer: Edy's Special Edition Girl Scout Cookie Samoa Ice Cream.

Favorite Place to Stop on The Road: Cracker Barrel, though my hubby is almost never willing to stop there and is a bit of a buzzkill about allowing for browsing time in the general store area (i.e., "We don't need any of this crap.")
