I ADMIT IT, MY FAVORITE MEAL! and other useless information for your pleasure. :)

I am not ashamed!

It is true! I love FRESHLY air popped, pop corn with about 4 tablespoons of melted real (salted) butter sprinkled with Spike "Vegit Seasoning" (at health food stores. for vegetables/'corn' or even chicken etc) then, washed down with a tall glass of Ovaltine (rich chocolate pictured or original). I could probably eat it every night for dinner and many times have (ask amber or my hubby, the have witnessed and/or participated in the insanity)

Now, for some more random facts about me: (thanks facebook for the first 25...)
