I just can't eat it, but I do love vanilla ice cream with hot fudge. And every other kind of chocolate. But choc. ice cream, nope. Weird, huh?!<BR/><BR/>I think my three would have to be...<BR/><BR/>Pasta, but not angel hair, too wimpy. I like linguini or penne, and I like a rich red sauce and lots of freshly grated parmesan.<BR/><BR/>Sushi, but I'm picky there, too. I like tuna and yellowtail and certain rolls, but not California roll. I don't like the imitation crab they use in some places. Lots of ginger and tamari, not soy sauce. Jeez, I really am picky. LOL<BR/><BR/>For third place, it's a real contest between Potato Chips--the thick, crunchy, ripply, salty kind ... and Chocolate--especially Milky Ways and Three Muskateers and almond roca. I'm a Sees Candy fan, too.<BR/><BR/>Now I'm hungry and it's time for breakfast. My fave breakfast would be donuts, of course. :-)<BR/><BR/>Congrats, flchen1! Hope you and the GR had a fine day!<BR/><BR/>Welcome back, Eva!!

When pressed & desperate, I'll use them to make pot pies. But they're always gluey & disappointing. Which leaves me to ignore the filling & fill up on pastry, which isn't so bad because I do love me some pastry. It's like having pie for dinner.

I love nothing more than a bowl of ice cream with cookies smashed into it, preferably chocolate chip. But if pressed, if I HAD to choose? I go with the ice cream every time. Have I mentioned that there is such as thing as GIRL SCOUT COOKIE ICE CREAM available?

Pizza is a perfectly balanced, legitimately nutrious food here. Chocolate owns a hallowed spot of honor on the food pyramid. I'll even give you sushi folks a corner of your own. :-) But you can bring along the Braeburn apples. I've been digging those lately.<BR/><BR/>And yes, all the coffee, tea & wine you could possibly want. I've never been much of a coffee fan, but in college I worked at (surprise!) an ice cream parlor. I learned that, when one is desperate for a hot beverage & coffee is the only one available, a spoonful of ice cream stirred into hot coffee goes a looooong way toward making it taste as good as it smells.Susan Seyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18033511012283092945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-32774003623183595582008-02-27T21:57:00.000-05:002008-02-27T21:57:00.000-05:00P226--I love fishing.

Plus, you mentioned that of the pound of shrimp you'd buy, half was for eating, & the other half for bait. Now I'm probably being fussy, but are you sure you want to give away a spot on your Top Three Favorite Foods list to something that can simultaneously be both food AND bait? :-) <BR/><BR/>Just asking.

Chocolate...Godiva, Hershey's kisses, chocolate covered carmels, chocolate covered pretzels....yep, gotta have me some chocolate, even on the diet from hell!<BR/><BR/>2. Popcorn or chips with salt. Yes, the second main food group. Salt! I prefer popcorn with just a little butter.<BR/><BR/>3. Cheeseburger. Home grilled preferably, nice piece of cheese, (American, swiss or Colby jack)...thinly sliced tomatos and onions and some mayo or mustard. Ahhhhhhh...heaven.<BR/><BR/>And if I couldn't have any of the above, then homemade mashed potatoes...not the kind from a box, but mine. Nice russets, peeled and boiled, butter melted over top, smashed, heavy cream and a little parmesean or garlic. mmmmm Perfection!Suzanne Ferrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05761579189372602292noreply@blogger.com
