I never realized just how good carrot cake is until tonight...
I can't eat that much sugar so I didn't fully finish the piece I had, but it was pure heaven. I saw a carrot cake at the store and thought "WTF?" I might as well get it. It just looked so good.

The frosting was richer than I expected, but all in all, I am pretty happy with my purchase.

I'm flying on a sugar high right now. OOOOHhhh what a rush!

:)



Wow, lucky to find this pic, it's almost exactly the same design and everything.

15. I liked it a lot when I was pretty young
as I got into my teens I became a serious athlete so I stayed away from a lot of that stuff. I'm not a big sugar guy, most stuff is too rich for me. However, I had to buy this sucker and some German Chocolate Brownies. They just looked too good. :)

16. You're kidding!! Oh man...they have some great stuff there. Try
their cheesecake too, if you like cheesecake. They also have these oatmeal raisin cookies that are amazing.

Most of their frozen stuff is good, they have great fish, wines, beer. Try the Black Mountain "Fat Cat" Cabernet -- it is very good.

Get thee to Trader Joe's!!!

20. Mmmmmm..... German Chocolate brownies...


On my island we can eat nothing but chocolate and cheeseburgers all day every day and we will never get fat. :D It's a magic island.

21. we differ on that one
I cannot stand hamburger. Even the sight of it. I'm obsessive compulsive about it, too, haha.

I do like the idea of never getting fat though. Magic Islands are ok in my book.

22. Are you a vegetarian?
If so, I know tons of great vegetarian recipes from when my stepmother was a vegetarian.

23. nope
I like steak, chicken and all other stuff. I just hate hamburger. What's weird is for years I hated both hamburger and beans with a passion. Really obsessive about them. But, I liked chili, if that makes any sense at all? Messed up. Now I like beans, still hate hamburger, and comepletely hate chili. Go figure.

Just for the hell of it I became a vegetarian for 2 months a few years ago. It wasn't bad at all, but when my little brother moved back in with me I started eating normally again.

The only other thing that I'm as OCD about as bad as hamburger is mustard. Can't even stand the sight of it. Makes me nearly barf to be near it. I am an odd duck I know. I also don't like monkeys either. Especially the one in the WH. :)
