My dainty 22 pound Maine Coon mix named Daniel the Terrible, and his sister Miss Minx. They’re wee sarky bastards, but I loves them, I does. My chocolate-containing dessert making skills. One time I brought in a flourless chocolate torte to work, and it disappeared within about five minutes. ---

My high-definition movie collection. 84 Blu-ray and 43 HD-DVD. With maybe 2 hours a week not working or being somewhere else with friends or my girlfriend to actually watch them. :smack: ---

My Tuna pasta recipe. No matter how often the Mrs makes it to my instructions, she just can’t make it as good as mine. Probably because I neglect to tell her the final step: just a dash of raw opium. Mmm, moreish. 🙂 ---

My antique furniture. We have [ul] [li]an entire Thomasville Chair Company mahogany bedroom suite, elaborately carved with wood inlays, four poster bed, dresser, chest and vanity. The fact that it is smallish and uncomfortable doesn’t count.[/li] [li]a circa 1920’s style bedroom suite. Again very elaborate carving, bronze drawer pulls. Sadly the bed didn’t survive but I did recycle parts of it. It goes perfect with our new king sized bed.[/li][/ul] [ul] [li]1920’s dining room suite which seats 8 with matching buffet and china cabinet[/li] [li]assorted odds and ends–chiffarobe, rocking chairs, pedestal, occasional tables[/li][/ul] All of those items were inherited from Thom’s family. The rest of my furniture is new and contemporary. Although it’s very nice, it just doesn’t have the character of the older stuff which I use on a daily basis. ---
