Do you have any likes and dislikes that are different from most others?

Hmmm. . . I really like riding the MK railroad and don't care much for Buzz Lightyear. I like baseball caps but not Micky ears, t-shirts that have simple Mickey or other imprints but NOT the technicolor extravaganza shirts. And of course I like going slow, even if it means I miss out on rides. I don't enjoy WDW because of the rides; I love WDW because it is full of wonderful adventure, and fun, and relaxation all when, where, and if you want it. muchlove

Not WDW related - I love ice cream but in sundaes or cups, not cones as much. Oh I will eat cones and LOVE bars on sticks, but I like eating ice cream best from a cup or bowl. And I don't like cookie dough or Oreo ice cream. Texture thing. yuck

OK, Ollie. There's one thing that's been bugging me since we both joined this website last year.

I just have to ask.......

Do you write spontaneously or do you, like me, write-edit-think-write-edit-repeat off line and then paste it into the reply box?

Ooooh. . . This is hard!! So I am going to make up some rules of my own! It can be any food from any eatery in WDW and I can't get too full!!!

So- I'd start with CHEESE!!! The cheese board from California Grill.

There would also be a good wine; a Merlot or Pinot Noir or perhaps a Cab.

Then I'd have ravioli - the escargot ravioli from Bistro de Paris AND the goat cheese ravioli from Cali Grill.

And a salad - the caprese with fresh mozzarella, heirloom tomatoes and prosciutto from Citrico's.

My entree would be a surf and turf: crab crusted Mahi Mahi from Narcoossee's paired with tenderloin from Jiko

Dessert. . .Creme Brulee from Victoria and Albert's accompanied by V&A coffee made table-side!

To end the evening, fireworks and a Mickey bar!!!

Yep, this is a fantasy meal alright! awesome

I am a spontaneous writer. I do check for errors before I post (most of the time), but I really just let 'er rip. I have to do WAY too much editing, rewriting, and all that in my day job! This is the fun stuff!!! cool

On toast it's butter(and jam, please)
On biscuits, it's both!
And I love peanut butter and honey on wheat berry bread.

My grandpa kept bees and would make a honey-butter spread. THAT is a fond memory!

Did I guess right on what you asked, Mase? Just thought it might have been a different question. . . laugh

Plain M&M's are my favorite, especially the orange ones. I like to eat three or four at a time, letting them melt slowly. cool

I want to like the coconut M&M's because I adore almond joy & bounty bars, but the coconut flavoring tastes too weird to me. yuck

So what about you, kind sir? Butter or Honey?

M&M's? Reese's pieces? Skittles? Starburst?

Both

Peanut Butter M&M's are my kryptonite. Like ill get one of those huge pound bags that has the resealable zipper on it and just chomp on them. Least... probably with you with the coconut. They sound great on the wrapper... but not so great in your mouth.

Peanut Butter and me . . . Love it except when I don't. LOVE PB&J sammies. Really like peanut butter cookies if they are chewy. Love Reese's cups and bars but not the pieces so much. I like PB M&M's but don't love them. Also still torn on the crispy and pretzel ones. I like peanut M&M's but would just about trade them every time for plain. Now if they'd just figure out an almond joy flavor that didn't have that weird coconut flavor. . .

So what's your Best milkshake? How about Ben & Jerry's?

Isnt this supposed to be questions for you? LOL

Favorite milkshake... depends on my mood. If I can get a real good... and I mean real good chocolate milkshake... thats probably my favorite. And im talking no white milk with vanilla ice cream and add chocolate syrup. Im talking chocolate all around! If I cant get that... then a strawberry milkshake with real strawberries that get stuck in your straw... lol

Ben and Jerry's...

You? Well... Milkshake

Yes, I suppose the questions should be for me, but you ask such GOOD ones!! laugh

I LOVE hot fudge milkshakes. A local drive-in does them and they are the best. But strawberry - or marionberry (a northwest blackberry variety) are also GREAT. OOOOH . . . and marshmallow milkshakes!! They sound boring as Vanilla, but again, a local place has really good flavoring and they are sort of like a creme brullee milkshake . . .

and I also like Milkshake candy bars. You can't find them hardly ever . . . malted milk chocolate. . . As a kid I would always grab one if I found them. I am also a sucker for a Zero bar. Same sort of flavors.

and Chubby Hubby? biggrin Gotta Love that!

Maybe I could develop a flavor sort of like Half Baked? But call it Better Half? cool

Yes, I would also indulge in these flavors if need be. . . Like real cookie dough better than the ice cream kind, and there is NOTHING wrong with batter of any kind. laugh

Now if I WAS to create a new flavor of Ben & Jerry's - and call it Better Half - it would be half chocolate with chocolate fudge ripple and white chocolate almonds AND half vanilla with strawberry ripple, chocolate covered shortbread chunks, and salted caramel bits.

Heaven help us all!
