RazzleberryPie July 24, 2016 Share July 24, 2016 Now I'm intrigued. Cheddar caramel could be that perfect sweet and salty mix. 3 Link to comment
SopranoKris July 24, 2016 Share July 24, 2016 (edited) 10 hours ago, raindancer said: @tobeyoungagain and @cherryblossom I know the kind you're talking about...I actually live in downtown Chicago and Garrett popcorn shops are super popular here. The Chicago mix is supposed to be one of their specialties http://www.garrettpopcorn.com/flavors/cp-garrettmix.html?gclid=CjwKEAjwq8y8BRCstYTm8qeT9mwSJACZGjUkF6UhxN4-4vs6rgIx8XaDIwazXYnwsXhlzutvg-7jqhoCbN_w_wcB . I've never tried it but I love their caramel corn. There are a few locations by where I live, and there is almost always a line out the door and you can smell the caramel corn as you walk by. It's pretty tempting. Also, @tobeyoungagain, I saw you mentioned you like Chicago PD earlier - I actually saw them filming a block away from me across from my gym. If you happen to see a scene with an overturned ambulance that crashed partway through a cement barrier...that'll be it :) I used to live in Chicago and Garrett's definitely has the best caramel corn. I'm not a fan of the cheddar/caramel mix, but that's just my own personal taste. I've never liked cheddar flavor on popcorn, not my cup of tea. Their caramel corn is dangerously delicious, though. I worked downtown for 17 years and had to pass Garrett's in Union Station to get to my train. The smell of that caramel corn being made was sooooo yummy! It was very tempting to buy a bag to eat on the way home! Remember the old Bugs Bunny cartoons where they'd float in the air following a delicious smell? That was definitely Garrett's for us commuters...LOL :) Edited July 24, 2016 by SopranoKris spelling correction 3 Link to comment
ChlcGirl July 24, 2016 Share July 24, 2016 Try waking up to the smell of chocolate! I used to live in Hershey, PA and the smell there was just intoxicating. 4 Link to comment
raindancer July 24, 2016 Share July 24, 2016 @cherryblossom that is a great school, and for sure there are a lot of pretty amazing opportunities that come with it - even at the medical schools they are always hiring for actors to come in and pose as patients for examination tests. Sounds like he enjoyed Chicago - there is for sure a lot to love here, even though I miss home quite a bit. And @SopranoKris I know exactly what you mean - I have to be so careful or I will blow up like a balloon! Caramel is one of my weaknesses though. Ben & Jerry's has a vanilla-fudge-caramel swirl that is absolutely dangerous. And @ChlcGirl I can imagine - there is actually a chocolate factory here too that smells pretty amazing but I can't imagine it's on the scale of Hershey's :D 2 Link to comment
ChlcGirl July 24, 2016 Share July 24, 2016 It is just ... ohhhhhhhhhhhh. The best day, the very best, are the days when they are producing the cocoa powder. It smells divine! People have asked, didn't you get tired of the smell. I always say, no - absolutely never lol 3 Link to comment

When I was younger, I dated a guy from the UK and I think I stayed in the relationship longer than I needed to simply for the tea...LOL. Just kidding. My friends in the States think I'm strange for putting cream or milk in my tea, but man, oh, man...once you've had it that way, you don't want it any other way. I think I'm going to go make a cuppa.... 2 Link to comment

Hummingbird24 July 26, 2016 Share July 26, 2016 I'm in north Texas, so I am all about the Mexican food! I'd eat it every day. i love chicken fried steak. We fry everything here. Before my stroke, I ate fried stuff all the time. Now, I'm being careful. I'm a sweets addict and a Diet Coke head. In fact, I have to get off Diet Coke. I'm up to drinking 6-8 a day.

raindancer July 27, 2016 Share July 27, 2016 I never saw Gilmore Girls, but I heard it was pretty neat - would have been on past my bedtime if it was on at 11 lol Absolutely loved Step by Step though - TGIF was TV I looked forward to all week growing up :) Right now beyond MTT I've gotten into Botched - I lovelovelove Dr. Dubrow and Dr. Nassif - I study medical ethics and humanities and it's really cool to get at least a glimpse of some of those aspects in the portions of the patient interview they show. Can't wait for Botched by Nature to come out - they are changing people's lives and I love seeing what they do! Link to comment
JC123 July 27, 2016 Share July 27, 2016 I've loved them both since they were on real housewives! I find them so funny together! There's something about Heather that's slightly off to me though. This is such a strong word but I HATED Gilmore girls. Like slow down I can't understand a friggin word you're saying?? 1 Link to comment
