Re: Poll: What is...

  • You are all over the polls this week!  Nice work.

    ...your favorite ice cream (brand, flavor, whatever)? Ben&Jerry's Phish Food. 

    ...your least favorite food? Mushrooms.  I like the flavor but the texture grosses me out for some reason.

    ...your favorite coffee or tea? Lipton tea.  I got a little bit hooked to Dunkin Donuts iced coffee this summer and am trying to wean myself off.

    ...your favorite place for clam chowder? I don't like clam chowder.

    ...your favorite clothing store? Probably Ann Taylor Loft.  I like Banana Republic too but I don't like to spend that much money on stuff.

    ...your favorite shoe brand? Maybe Aldo, but I am not always impressed with the way they hold up over time. 

    ...the best vacation you've ever taken? Honeymoon to Hawaii.

    ...your favorite makeup (item, brand, whatever)? I am not much of a makeup girl.  Does chapstick count?  Haha.

    ...one weird thing you can tell us about yourself?  I don't like it when I get a pedicure and the person cuts the cuticles on my toes. I usually request that they not do it and they look at me like I have 3 heads.

    Me too, love soups, and if I ate nothing but noodle soups for the rest of my love I could be very happy.  I think pretty much it's just you and me going for the chowder, which is crazy considering this is the Boston board!

Spicy food and sushi, here I come!
