@hardlyhannah When we were little we used to eat it with ice cream. It's not my favourite but I like it!
AFM and because someone just said this to me... "I could care less" is a ridiculous statement to make when trying to imply that you don't care. I roll my eyes hard - just say it properly!
@hardlyhannah I love Jello! Now I really really want jello.
Oh man that just made me think of Jello Poke Cake and now I want that! I might have to make DH stop on the way home and get all the ingredients for it.
Normally I am the kind of person that wants the Christmas tree packed away as close to the first of the year. This year I've decided March is a perfectly good month to still have the tree up.
Ok, actually I think I am ridiculous and just need to get it together and put the Christmas stuff away.
@jsnakehole I love egg salad. My mom makes me egg salad sandwiches on toast when I go to visit and they are perfect.
My UO is that I thought Black Panther was good but it didn't blow me away like it seemed to on everyone else. I didn't fall asleep though and that's a pretty strong thumbs up for me.

Chocolate Ice cream is typically yuck and chocolate cake is just ok. I would much rather have white or yellow cake. I like chocolate candy but, I want nuts or caramel or something in it.
I love egg salad! I actually love all sandwich salads - Tuna, Chicken, Ham. As long as there aren't onions in it. Also pasta salad, macaroni salad, potato salad! I think I just like stuff mixed with mayo.
AFM -I can't think of my own U/O right now. I always think of them on off days and forget them by the time Thursday comes.
@laurad75 I haven't seen it, but I guess another UO of mine is that I hate all superhero/Marvel movies so I literally have zero interest in seeing it at all.
@jsnakehole Oh man.. I love egg salad, tuna salad, chicken salad, pasta salad, lettuce salad.. Just give me all the salad, I'm a happy camper. EXCEPT that gross Ambrosia Salad stuff...whatever it's called. The stuff with the fruit and the whipped cream/marshamallows and nuts. OMG GAG.
I ADORE jello - but ONLY if it's plain jello. Fruit chunks do not, under any circumstances, belong in jello. Double gag. I guess that's my UO for today
ETA: I just re-read this and it sounds like I'm anti-fruit. I actually love fruit - but eaten alone, not part of a salad or any other dessert.
AFM: I can't do steak--at least no shade lighter than charcoal, cooked a dark brown all the way through, and all the fat cut off. With ketchup. ...not sure why, I think it's a consistency thing. Usually when we do steak I opt for something else anyway though.

As a Texan, it physically pains me to read this When not pregnant, I prefer my steak practically still mooing. I have shifted to medium rare (and only at good steak places or cooked myself) during pregnancy and even that has been hard.
I am not a big chocolate person either (unless it also contains some type of salty element) and I also don't care for Nutella (::ducks::).

@legallykate former vegetarian here who wants my steak still half alive when I get it (also Texan). Haha. I ordered a well-done stake at like 5 weeks and almost cried. It. Was. Awful.
Steak needs to still be pink. Unless Chocolate is covering something, it can die. We didn't have a Christmas tree, just because I knew it wouldn't get put away. I own most Marvel movies, BP wasn't bad, but I really don't see how it adds to the 'group'. Jello is ok when in a poke cake or in a pretzel&fruit salad. Salads, unless leafy green or fruit, are of the devil.
AFM, I can't think of one yet.

@mrslittlemac Give me all your bloody steak! I even serve our grilled venison backstraps purple in the middle. It actually hurt to read your UO. ><
Vanilla ice cream is superior to chocolate ice cream. Root beer floats are mana from heaven.
Chocolate is good (when I'm not pregnant), especially dark chocolate.
Putting nuts in anything automatically ruins it. Even brownies. I will literally sit there and pick them all out, one by one. I like nuts by themselves, not in things. You should see me trying to eat trail mix, or my mom's Chex mix that she insists on making 50% nuts.
Egg salad is disgusting, I've never had any I actually liked. I also can't eat eggs very much due to digestive upsets, so if I have a chance to sneak one by, it's an over-easy on toast. Ham salad is freaking amazing, and I'm toying with getting some from the deli for little "sliders" for lunches, or if that's really a no bueno. I've still been eating lunch meat because I feel safer about it in packages than I do pathogens on fresh fruits and veggies. But you never know about deli foods.
I LOVE Jello. I get it for dessert every time we end up at the Chinese buffet. Theirs never tastes as sweet and the flavor and the texture is so much better than what I make at home. It's more firm, but not quite jigglers either. I wonder if they use some Asian fruit gelatin brand instead of Jell-O brand.
@juliebird6 Loki....it's all about Loki. I swear I watch the Avenger's movies just for him.
I'm so angsty about my phone conversation with my mother this morning, but I seriously can't think of an UO for myself. So fail.
I don’t really like steak at all. I used to, but then was vegetarian and still eat mostly vegetarian, and now the texture makes me gag and I can’t swallow. I can eat it if it’s super tender from a really good steakhouse but I still prefer the seafood dishes.
I've lived in Texas all my life and I eat my steak exactly like @mrslittlemac But only when I eat steak and that's basically never bc I don't really like it, haha! I can't do pink meat at all (it's a phobia) so I'll never try it the "good" way. I much prefer a good chicken fried chicken dipped in a side of white gravy...yuuuum!
My steak can’t be bloody, but I like it to have pink in it still. This is progress, as I used to only like it medium well, now I order medium.
Egg salad, pasta salad, and everything of the sort can go die in a hole. Ew.
Jello is disgusting and hearing people eat it (and slurp it) makes me cringe.
I’m an equal opportunity chocolate and vanilla girl, I usually end up getting a swirl of the two when I get frozen yogurt. But I love me some good chocolate (except for during this pregnancy).
Nuts do not belong in brownies or any other baked goods (banana bread I’m looking at you). I’ll be like @neeraja_k and sit there picking out pieces until it is nut free. The only exception to this rule for me is a Snickers bar or peanut M&Ms.
I’m a pretty picky eater, so I could list all of the things I don’t eat an it would likely be a UO Pickles, cream cheese, mayo, mustard, olives, broccoli, seafood of any kind...

I like my steaks fatty and red lol! I'm medium rare to rare all the way! When DH and I started dating he was strictly in the medium well camp but over time he realized how wrong he was lol!
Team no nuts but raisins in oatmeal raisin cookies are acceptable
Love egg, ham, pasta, broccoli salads, give me all the salads!
Chocolate ice cream for the win, vanilla cake is the best.
I've never tried Nutella and honestly I'm not sure what the hype is?
@msmonalisavito If you could guarantee that it wouldn't get above 80, I would easily take summer. We usually hit 3 digits in mid to late May.
This. We’re in a valley that is always 10-20 degrees hotter than the rest of the area. We were over 100 from April through late November last year, most of the summer was above 109. I can’t stand it, it’s my #1 reason I want to move. Not as bad as Arizona, but no human should live here haha

I like most sandwich salads but absolutely no celery. It completely ruins it.
I like some texture in my desserts but I don’t like nuts in brownies or cookies. I can dig them in ice cream but that’s about it.
UO: Summer is highly superior to the other seasons. I will happily take 80 degree days every day of the week.
My UO is that raisins are the most disgusting thing in the world. If you put an oatmeal raisin cookie in front of me we won't be friends anymore.

@calimom2524 We can't be friends. I adore raisins, to the point I have a box in my classroom for snacks. I also have a box in each of our vehicles.
