jenniann87 · November 2010

Age: 23

How long with SO: We have been friends for a few years but have been dating for a year and a half and living together for almost a year.

How do you feel about cheap wine: Mmmm I love it. Pink Truck and B!tch Wine are my. My BF is on a kick of trying to find a wine that tastes like church wine so we have been trying a bunch of different kinds.

Maccaroni and cheese: LOVE it. I have this for dinner at least once a week, more if BFs son is staying with us. I always end up adding extra velveeta to mine too so its extra cheesy. MMmmm.

Mashed potatoes: With sour cream, butter, bacon bits, broccoli and cheese.

Engagement ponies: ??? Sorry dont know what that means. LOL.

stemms8810 · November 2010

Age: 26
How long with SO (if there is one): 3 1/2 months
How do you feel about cheap wine: Love it to get drunk. For other times I don't care but I need it sweet.
Maccaroni and cheese: Love it!
Mashed potatoes: Must be creamy with butter
Engagement ponies: What is that? Lol.

AJesteram · November 2010

Age: 22

How long with SO (if there is one): Been together going on two years and have been living together a year.

How do you feel about cheap wine: I'm very picky about wine but HEB has an amazing sparkling moscato called Moscato d'Asti.

Maccaroni and cheese: Love it! Now I want some...

Mashed potatoes: Mmmm especially when you put everything on them just like a baked potato!

Engagement ponies:Huh...?

Elle1036 · November 2010

BBB, we (or I) have also gotten in the habit of asking noobs the all-important question of how they feel about Harry Potter.

Those of you coming out, add that to the list.

sparkles88 · November 2010

I'm sort of still a lurker, despite posting on the board a few times, so I'll play. Plus I've yet to share my opinion on some of these important questions.

Age: 22

How long with SO (if there is one): 2.5 years

How do you feel about cheap wine: meh, not a big wine person. Back in my early college years it was all about the cheap vodka.

Maccaroni and cheese: I love cheese with all of my heart. mac & cheese is amazing!

Mashed potatoes: I like these too, but not as much as mac & cheese

Engagement ponies: I read a story-on this board I think-about someone that got an engagement kitten. I'm partial to those. Especially, because I don't have the yard for a pony.

Harry Potter: I absolutely love the Harry Potter books, but I wasn't so big on the movies. I haven't had the chance to see the 6th or 7th ones yet though.

bethsmiles · November 2010

Newbies! The engagement pony is most certainly better than the engagement ring! And ponies are always a wonderful surprise!

Also...is there anyone in the world who doesn't like mac and cheese? I mean come on its amazing! How could you hate it?!

AJesteram · November 2010

Lol! Well since there is definitely no room for a pony in our current living situation i'll stick with my puppy

As for Harry Potter- LOVE IT! Although I have been seriously slacking on seeing the last two movies...oops.

JMM4208 · November 2010

I am trying to come out of Lurker-Land.

Age: 23
How long with SO (if there is one): 2 years and 8ish months
How do you feel about cheap wine: Yes please.
Macaroni and cheese: Delicious, especially if its homemade
Mashed potatoes: It just wouldn't be Thanksgiving without them
Engagement ponies: I'm guessing one shows up to take me to the Just Engaged/Proposals board from here when that event happens?
HP: Ive seen the 7th movie and its a great series, and I follow Lord Voldemort on twitter

YAY FOR MAC & CHEESE!! The bar I go to has a Mac & Cheese menu!! AH-MAZINGGGG!!

AND Boston Market started making Loaded Mashed Potatoes!! Sour Cream, Chives, Bacon and Cheddar cheese.... MMMM

Am I the only one who likes Mac & Cheese and Mashed Potatoes together??

MLekathLEEN · November 2010

Now that sunbird has "come out"

Age: 23
How long with SO (if there is one): Dating 6 years, engaged 6 months
How do you feel about cheap wine: Arbor Mist has my

Maccaroni and cheese: Shares my

with Arbor Mist
Mashed potatoes: ...Crap, now there is a love triangle... Outbacks are my absolute FAVORITE
Engagement ponies: Still haven't received mine yet...poo.

niknik15 · November 2010

Age: 23
How long with SO (if there is one): almost 3 years
How do you feel about cheap wine: I'll drink anything! But if it tastes really bad then I add cranberry juice which makes it all better
Maccaroni and cheese: thats what I brought for lunch today
Mashed potatoes: I love potatoes any way they are made. My boyfriend usually makes fun of me for it, but when I'm having a rough day he always makes them for me.
Engagement ponies: I am a kid at heart and already requested one instead of a ring
Happy Potter: While on a road trip, my uncle played the first book on tape, but never really got into the HP thing. I read the twilight books, but hated the movie. So I guess when I read the book first my imagination is too much and I'm disappointed by the movies.

jacquiroxx · November 2010

Anything to get out or writing this paper. I don't think I'm a lurker anymore, but...

Age: 24
How long with SO (if there is one): Dating 5 years... well, almost. Our anniversary is on Saturday
How do you feel about cheap wine: I love it BUT I only drink dessert wine cus I'm classy like that. Moscato

Maccaroni and cheese: I love macs n cheese. I prefer Kraft (I hate Velveeta) and if someone wants to make it I highly prefer it baked.
Mashed potatoes: Potatoes in any form are my comfort food. Bring it on.
Engagement ponies: That's my code word now. My best friend thinks I'm seriously asking for a pony for Christmas hahahaha.
Harry Potter: I have a small crush on him (read: large). Also, a secret: I haven't finished the series yet. But it's because school + work + obsessive posting/reading here don't leave me much time for novel-reading

Edit: for spelling

Lurkers please take note: you aren't really engaged until you have an e-pony.

Penny66 · November 2010

I used to post, but then I went away for a while and I have been lurking for about 3 weeks.

Age: 24
How long with SO (if there is one): exactly 5.5 years yesterday
How do you feel about cheap wine:Unfortunately there is no such thing as cheap (less than $10) wine in Pennsylvania because they think it's fun to tax the crap out of it. But in other news I do love me some cheap wine.
Maccaroni and cheese:MmmmMmmmMmMmm I require Mac and cheese right now!!!
Mashed potatoes:Looooooooooooooooooooooooove mashed potatoes. I could eat it at every meal. But this isn't fair I have to wait 2.5 hours to eat lunch.
Engagement ponies: I would love an engagement pony!! He/she can stay in my room with me and SO can sleep on he couch.

ETA- HP: I am not a huge fan, but I did love Prisoner of Azkaban. Hopefully I can earn points by saying that I am a huge True Blood fan and I am currently on book 5, and I am also reading Chuck Palahniuk's Invisible Monsters

calindi · November 2010

Well, since we're all playing...

* I'm 24, BF is 27. I turn 25 in 2 weeks, and so excited to be able to rent a car without all those underage fees!

* We've been together 2 years and counting.

* I am a wine snob, too, but there are budget wines that are quite good. If you're talking crappy wine, then I like it sometimes in sangria or a 'tinto de verano' (mixed with 7-Up or Lemon Fanta).

* Love Mac, especially gourmet ones with the crumbly crusty cheese on top. Yum!

* Potatoes are my life blood. Mashed, baked, twice baked, skins, scalloped, whatever. Mostly mashed, with cheese and butter, rarely gravy.

* Way cooler than a silly little ring.

* Like HP, not obsessed, and kind of creeped out by anyone overly obsessed with any of those things - HP, Twilight, whatever.

[QUOTE] What is the deal with the trend?!? Posted by cschiano[/QUOTE]

I HATE that vampires are so trendy now. I love True Blood but I can't stand that vampires are everywhere now. I have always been a fan of horror kind of stuff, If I could find a series of books about werewolfs or serial killers I would love them!

StarGazingHiker · November 2010

Since we're all playing and I really don't want to start my paper yet..

Age: 26... bf's also 26

How long with SO (if there is one): almost 6.5 years

How do you feel about cheap wine: I'm a wine snob in training along with the bf's sister... we love to go out to wine bars and try new wines, but on occasion Arbor Mist can be good

Maccaroni and cheese: Love love love mac and cheese!

Mashed potatoes: I live for potatos. It doesn't matter what kind they are... I love 'em! I even like them raw...

Engagement ponies: Yes please! Though, I would prefer an engagement horse rather than a pony so I can ride it.

HP: I've never read the books, but they are on my Christmas Break reading list...

AudgiePodge · November 2010

Age: 25

How long with SO (if there is one): Just over a year

How do you feel about cheap wine: I've only had wine twice. I have no idea if it was cheap. :P

Maccaroni and cheese: Good, good.

Mashed potatoes: No one love potatoes more than me. I'd marry one if it asked.

Engagement ponies: I'd much rather have an engagement African Grey.

Mashed potatoes: FI's mom makes the best mashed potatoes!
Engagement ponies: I'm still waiting for mine. Maybe for my birthday, I'll get one.
Harry Potter: Love it all the time. My friends and I play Harry Potter trivia when we're bored or on long car trips.

Blue & White · November 2010

I've been super quiet this week (stupid flu/cold/plague) so I'll play too

Age: 25 (so is he)
How long with SO (if there is one): 3 years and....21 days (since it's Dec. tomorrow, I figured I'd be all precise about it today)
How do you feel about cheap wine: I really do not have a taste for cheap and/or fine wine. I fail as a wine-o.
Macaroni and cheese: yes please! This one place in Jersey City makes the best "adult" mac 'n' cheese ever.
Mashed potatoes: I'm getting better with them. Used to not like em, but my BF kinda requires them every meal...and I make pretty good ones!
Engagement ponies: Um, I'm outta the loop on this one. BUT...we don't have room to fit a pony. Does that mean our someday engagement will be invalid?! Crap...in other news, my BF's mom had a pony as a little girl and I think that's really cute, haha

ETA: Yes, I'm all for Harry Potter. I'm re-reading the series (currently re-on book 3) in protest of the 7th book coming out in two parts for the movie, haha. We'll see if I last until they're both out to see them.

lnvane00 · November 2010

Ok I will fianlly come out and play. I have posted comments on a few posts but thats about it...

Age: 24

How long with SO (if there is one): 8 months. Been living together since May. Not engaged.. yet. Still waaaitng... but we both know we want to marry each other tho.

How do you feel about cheap wine: meh, dont really go for wine.

Maccaroni and cheese: Yum.. i like extra butter in mine

Mashed potatoes: One of my favorite foods!! I LOVE potatoes done anyway possible!

Engagement ponies: no and no thanks. I'll take the bling. which we have already gone out and looked at and I found the one!

Harry Potter: I do like

purplepeopleeater11 · November 2010

I've been quiet too Blue, so i guess I'll play too.

Age: 24, BF is 36

How long with SO (if there is one): 1.5 years-esque

How do you feel about cheap wine: I think there's a difference between cheap and inexpensive, because you can pay quite a bit for wine that blows. But I love wine, so pour me a glass of whatever you've got.

Maccaroni and cheese: I know, you will all hate me, I don't like it. The only kind I really like is the really cheap ready-mac and I'm not even sure that can qualify as mac and cheese. I don't know why I don't like it, I just don't. But I'm not really a fan of a lot of yellow cheese, so maybe a fontina mac and cheese would be up my alley.

Mashed potatoes: I love mashed potatoes.

Engagement ponies: BF doesn't even want a puppy...I hardly think I'll ever get an engagement pony. Then my engagement won't be valid. Sigh.

Edit: Harry Potter, I have read every book, and I would say that I liked them. However I'm not really a fan of the movies.
