Favorite Cereals
Life - A classic. Julie likes it.
Smurfberry Crunch (defunct) - I remember this as being wonderfully sweet and pretty.
Cookie Crisp - It's like eating cookies for breakfast!
Favorite Candies
Swedish Fish - The best gummy candy around. My only question is: why are they made in Canada?
Peanut M&Ms - Such a perfect blend of taste and texture.
Candy corn Traditional Halloween flavored, as well the Valentine and Easter varieties. If they made Fourth of July candy corn, I’d probably eat that, too.
Favorite Chips
Doritos The regular kind, not Cool Ranch. Cool Ranch give you the worst possible breath EVER (although not the reason I don’t like them as much as regular).
Favorite Foods
Cheese Pizza - Depending on my mood, I favor different styles of pizza. Lou Malnati’s is my fave of the Chicago places, but I’ll pretty much eat any kind of thin crust. Just cheese, please, although I will tolerate green pepper, spinach, or the occasional pineapple.
Broccoli Spinach Casserole A Halpern Family classic. I could eat bowls of it. But I shouldn’t because it results in major gas.
Corn Mmmmm. I don’t eat enough corn. I like it on the cob, creamed, loose (Is that what you’d call it? You know, just out of the can).
Cake How could I forget cake? I know it's not cool, but I prefer yellow or white to chocolate. But I'll eat that, too.
Favorite TV Shows
Buffy the Vampire Slayer - I love Buffy Summers with all of my heart. She is the bravest, most beautiful, most resourceful vampire slayer ever. Creepy? I think not.
Battlestar Galactica - Sometimes I painfully miss these characters. I bought the fancy blu-ray box set. If I had all the time in the world, this would be the first show I rewatch (again).
Degrassi Junior High and Degrassi High - Read my essay (not like an essay for school, but something I wrote for the website) about my history with Degrassi.
Beverly Hills 90210 - I was the same age as the characters on 90210 until they had them repeat their junior year. While not as classy and realistic as Degrassi, and while pretty inconsistent, I am still devoted. Keep ‘em comin’ on DVD!
Freaks and Geeks - I have now watched the entire series three times, so I can safely say it is officially a favorite.
Supernatural - My friend described this as "Buffy's stupid younger brothers." I started watching it while I was pregnant with my son. His name is Dean. For fans of the show, you know why.
