I prefer to eat ice cream in the cold (ok, maybe not when its below freezing outside...) because the ice cream doesn't melt or drip! I hate paying for ice cream and getting a milkshake in a cup. And who can really enjoy the ice cream when you're too busy wiping the dripping sticky mess off your hands as you walk down the street? I love all the new ice cream trucks out this year!

I'm a die-hard city girl but then I went upstate for college to Buffalo. To this day the one thing that really makes me reconsider life in the 'burbs is the possibility of shopping weekly at a Wegmans (Tops was also great but only the International Tops). Yes, I know - I'm a little pathetic...

My local D'Agostinos makes excellent rotisserie chicken - very juicy and tasty. I agree, you have to go when it's peak shopping times - they'll have every row of the oven filled up with birds and they can't cook it fast enough for the customers waiting on line at the deli counter to snap them up as soon as the timer goes off and the ladies take them off the rods and pack them in the containers. I notice during non-peak hours there might be just 2 or 3 dried looking birds spinning around. They make really good Italian and Spanish spiced ones also. And with my Dag points I can get a whole cooked chicken that will last at least two meals for less than 5 bucks!

mmmmmmmmm, longan.........

That's about the cutest gross thing I have ever seen.

Del Frisco's New York - if you have the money to splurge then this is the place to get your steak. I start with the fried oysters and the mountain of onion rings to accompany a couple of cocktails. The rib eye with the skillet potatoes and onions, sauteed mushrooms and spinach sides get washed down with Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon for dinner. The meat is juicy and the portions are huge. By the end of the meal I'm always so stuffed I never get to dessert.
