I can’t stand coffee. Or any hot drink. The occasional hot chocolate, maybe. Tea? No. My tea better be one degree above the freezing point. ---

I don’t like ketchup unless it’s mixed in with so much other stuff it’s just one small note in the entire flavor. ---

I am a terrific home cook and make almost everything we eat from scratch, up to and including fresh pasta. Having said that, there are times when an ingot of Velveeta cheese finds its way into something, specifically in chicken spaghetti. But I’m still making the homemade cream of chicken soup for it. 😃 ---

I’ve watched The Sopranos all the way through at least four times. The ending of the final episode was perfect. ---

I enjoy lots of different kinds of beer. Craft brews, micro brews, imports, you name it. And Budweiser is fine too. At a cookout on a blazing hot afternoon, a Bud really hits the spot. ---

Sometimes when there is a glass of red wine that has been poured a few days & is about to go sour… I’ll dump it into a pot with a pat of butter and three table spoons of peanut butter and bring the whole thing to a slow simmer for 20-30 minutes. Then I’ll pour and stir in red pepper flakes (like the kind to put on pizza?). I’ll slow heat it for 5 more minutes and then pour the mix into a glass jar to cool. The result is a Super Hot satay sauce that is both sweet and spicy… and will work on anything from hotdogs to re-heated London Broil. ---

Or read Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings. I am, however, a fan of the Carpenters, especially “Superstar.” I can appreciate Karen’s voice. And also admire their talent for pop. But they were kind of cheesy. But Superstar is a great song. ---

> [@nearwildheaven](#): > > I loved “Downton Abbey”, but I did not watch the final episode and don’t want to. I finally caught up on all of DA on Amazon (I’d started watching midway through s4). I won’t spoil the final episode for you other than to say that now I understand why people say it’s evident Jullian Fellowes was losing interest in the series. Confession: Before Downton I hadn’t watched Masterpiece for nearly two decades. I still don’t because I’m usually asleep when it airs. Ergo, I’ll be watching _Victoria_ on Amazon. ---

Madonna isn’t sexy. (She isn’t ugly, either.) She is the plain-looking girl who hung around sexy girls and wants to prove herself. Her looks, music, and schtick are all bland. A buddy once shoved her book of nude photos in my face and all I could think of was that she needed someone to wrap a warm quilt around her, give her a big steaming mug of hot-chocolate with marshmallows and whisper in her ear: “Your not all that . . . . just let it go…” ---

> [@Jophiel](#): > > The one Pratchett book I tried, I didn’t care for. I know a bunch of people who share my tastes who like him and I like other works in the same general sphere but the book just left me bored and I never tried another. I’m the same (am surprised that it’s taken 132 posts to get round to Pratchett). Have tried a couple of his works: conclusion (pretty much expected) reached, was that I loathed them. Heavy as lead, and the complete opposite of funny. I like a good deal of comic / fantasy stuff; but Pratchett, just no. Compounded by the strong impression received, that he took himself with great seriousness, as the most terrific humorist in history. (In fairness, general picture is got that “in his private and personal capacity”, he was a very nice man.) ---

I don’t like any kind of “hot” spicy food. That means I’m limited to mild peppers, mild chili and mild or sweet salsa. OTOH, I do like anchovies. ---

I couldn’t make it through _Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy_, and never even entertained the notion of trying to read it again. I also think _The Hobbit_ is FAR superior to the other _Lord of the Rings_ books. ---

You’re not actually trying to suggest that they sent at least 17 armed men after a guy for horse-theft are you? Sheriff: We got to get us up a posse and find that hombre Deputy: Yeah, cain’t have people shooting each other down for having a drink with a woman. 'Tain’t right. Sheriff: Naw, don’t care none about a dead feller. Sumbitch done stole a horse. ---
