     I wouldn't say I'm the best mod on TK, but...<div>
    </div><div>
    </div><div>I like long walks on the beach, dinners by candlelight, horseback riding, jk (well not really).  I like to knit and read, watch The Bachelor and American Idol (though I'm getting bored with it), we are doing a lot of home improvement projects at home right now - we installed a new dishwasher last night, and my husband is working on his Man Cave.  I like playing Words with Friends - currently have games going with strength and Jim&Aim!  (I'm angelicious17 if anyone has the iPhone app.)</div>

    Oh goodness...pulling out the blackmail material here!  Let's see...

    DH is a bit of a coffee snob, but I can't stand the stuff.  He doesn't just drink a cup of coffee.  When he makes it, he grinds his own beans (special ordred), has an electric water kettle (heats the water faster than the plain kettle on the stove?), brews it in a french press coffee pot, puts in an insulated coffee cup, and adds half and half (not milk, not whole cream, not coffee mate) and sugar in the raw.  That's fine, everyone is entilted to pick their luxury thing, except that he then leaves the empty french press on the counter for days if I don't clean it up.  Plus, the grinder, kettle, spoons, cups...all left out!  Have you ever cleaned up old, moldy coffee grinds out of a tiny glass pot?  They just stick to the bottom and you have to try and shake it out and the grinds get everywhere.  Ugh!  And I don't even LIKE coffee!

    But, if that's the worst I can come up with, I consider myself pretty lucky.  :)

    <div>I love anything with whole cloves of garlic - Macaroni Grill has a create-your-own-pasta dish, and I love going there only so I can order something with whole garlic cloves :)  I also love roasting garlic and spreading a clove of garlic on a cracker or just popping one in my mouth!  Or Archer Farms Garlic Chicken pizza - mmmm.</div><div>
    </div><div>That or Mexican food - I once went a whole week eating tacos for lunch.  I often do 2-3 days in a row, but a whole week was an accomplishment!</div>

    Hmm, I am not sure what I would want to differently for the second time.  I would maybe have the wedding and reception up north at Hungry Jack Lodge.  I would train our dogs to behave so they could carry a ring bearer pillow together down the aisle.  We would have a jumbo shrimp cocktail bar with all kinds of toppings for them.  We would also have a hand rolled cigar booth for all the men.  After the wedding we would go to the same place we went for our honeymoon, but we'd stay for a month : )

    HK: Chris is a coffee snob tooo!!! I thought I was reading about him when I read your answer, lol. Grinds own beans, check. Heats water in kettle, check. Uses french press, check. Leaves it out forever, check. I think he beat your DH in snobness though, cuz he refuses to "taint" his coffee with anything dairy or sugar...that's right, just black.
