I Like Food
I like food.
And yes, that includes salads.
As much as I like my greens, they usually need to be accompanied by something else.
Like eggs. I like eggs.
I really like runny eggs.
But more than runny eggs, I probably like ice cream more.
Frozen yogurt isn’t technically ice cream, but I still like it.
I didn’t think I liked Milwaukee, but it’s growing on me.
I like Milwaukee more now that I’ve discovered Transfer Pizzeria + Cafe.
I also like pizza.
But I like the crust more, especially when its ooey gooey and doughy.
I like Margherita pizza, because it’s a classic. I like Roasted Potato and Chicken Pizza with garlic cream sauce, because it’s unique.
I like pizza so much, I had 3 1/2 pieces.
Even though the ballet doesn’t serve food, I still like it.
I especially like it because I kinda sorta know Peter Pan through a friend of a friend type thing.
I like going to the theater.
I like the fact ballerinas can spin really fast, but I don’t like that there aren’t any words.
Maybe it’s because I am too wordy and secretly, I like that?
I like that Kopp’s Frozen Custard doesn’t really close at 11pm even though it says so on its website.
I also like the fact they sell Smile Sundaes that are the size of your head. More so, I like the fact that Smile Sundaes are just a much better version of a Dairy Queen Peanut Buster Parfait.
I also also like the fact I have ice cream on my face in this picture.
I think you know this, but I like coffee.
I especially like coffee accompanied by a sliced banana, cinnamon + peanut butter on a lazy Sunday morning.
I like proving myself wrong and checking off my to-do lists.
As much as I like those two things, I still like yog messes more.
I can’t decide if I like yog messes or cinnamon the most.
I will get back to you.
I happen to like POM mocktails.
I also like serving them in fancy glasses and pretending I am in Europe at a chic sidewalk cafe.
I like Europe. A lot.
I like when fabulous bloggers send you amazing Christmas gifts that you forget about until five months later when you finally decide to use that gift and whip up an amazing batch of Dark Chocolate Muffins.
I like that when you don’t have chocolate almond milk, egg whites or pumpkin on hand; you can use regular organic skim milk, two whole eggs and applesauce.
I like reusing paper grocery bags.
I really like dark chocolate + peanut butter together.
I also like jelly, which is why I ate a 2nd muffin topped with strawberry preserves.
I like balls – specifically Flax-Encrusted Sweet Potato Balls.
I like mustard. I think I like it so much, it may be my favorite condiment.
Ranch dressing is good, but I still like mustard more.
I like roasted broccoli.
I also like roasted broccoli paired with spaghetti.
I like friends. Especially friends that will feed you homemade banana bread, won’t judge you for wanting to watch the Miss USA Pageant and make you feel oh-so-much better when you are a blubbering mess.
I really do like all these things.
But most of all, I still really like food.

Hey, you and I like the same foods! But I think I actually like runny eggs more than ice cream… Weird, I know. Runny is the only way I can eat eggs because of my gallstones (apparently there is something in runny egg yolks that makes them easier digestible and therefore they won’t upset my gallstones, in case you were interested…).
Enjoy your friends, the banana bread, & the Miss USA Pageant!
May 16th, 2010 at 10:21 pm
Guess what? I get to see YOU this week! And I like that. A lot.
May 16th, 2010 at 10:25 pm
I really like the look of those sweet potato balls. They look really yummy!!!
May 16th, 2010 at 10:26 pm
did i miss the pageant?!?! oh nooooo!
May 16th, 2010 at 10:51 pm
You saw Peter Pan… in ballet form?! Was it awesome? The Mary Martin version makes me so happy. As does visions of your pizza. And your trip. Glad you had a swell weekend, chickadee
May 16th, 2010 at 11:56 pm
I like YOU. For eating real food. And loving real runny eggs, not egg whites in a carton.
May 17th, 2010 at 12:24 am
Wow, sounds like a great weekend to me. I love Peter Pan and can’t imagine it as a ballet either… amazing. The eats look delicious as usual. Love the photo of you with the ice cream…dangerous stuff.
May 17th, 2010 at 12:50 am
I like this post! But sadly Janetha already beat me to saying it. I more than like food though, I adore it
May 17th, 2010 at 5:35 am
I looooove food. And I’m sure this comes as a shock, but I can’t just eat a salad either.
UNless its covered with bacon, cheese, …
May 17th, 2010 at 5:44 am
HAHAH ” I like balls!” You are too cute.
The balls do look very yummy though.
Glad you are having fun in Milwaukee and I wish you the very best day today lovely lady!
May 17th, 2010 at 6:06 am
I will agree that I like most of those
Everything except the mustard! Blech!
May 17th, 2010 at 6:21 am
I really like you! And food. And mustard. And definitely peanut butter.
May 17th, 2010 at 6:26 am
Looks like one kick butt weekend. So many good eats. Um froyo…heaven <3. And that frozen custard looks amazing too- I've never heard of anything like that. I'm headed over to foods of april now to look for that muffin recipe. Oh and I really love food too
May 17th, 2010 at 7:15 am
I like YOU.
May 17th, 2010 at 7:46 am
I love mustard too. I could dip into the entire bottle- probably finish it off right then and there. Remember: Practice Safe Food Eating, Use Condiments!
May 17th, 2010 at 7:55 am
pb+chocolate. yes.
May 17th, 2010 at 8:02 am
I LOVE FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love the pic of you and the custard, u are so funny girl!!! THat looks amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like all the food on here!! The pizza, yogurt mess, tofu salad, and cupcakes!!!!!!!!!
I Like you and that you are real and live it up!!!!!!!
May 17th, 2010 at 8:26 am
Runny eggs are quite possibly the most appetizing thing EVER. Especially over top some hot carbs
Mustard is also slowly becoming my favourite condiment. And a Peter Pan ballet sounds fabulous!
I need to make a Banff list. Or a list of my lists. I am getting SO excited!!
May 17th, 2010 at 8:40 am
Yeah, food is pretty great, isn’t it? You went to milwaukee this weekend?! Fun! Dan and I are talking about biking to Milwaukee this summer. That’s what I said. Biking there.
Runny eggs are my best friend, I’ve been putting them with everything recently. Anything that resembles a side dish – throw an egg on top and you have yourself a meal!
May 17th, 2010 at 8:45 am
I love your writing style in this post!! Makes Monday morning more enjoyable.
May 17th, 2010 at 9:39 am
those muffins look pretty ridiculous. IN A GOOD WAY.
i like food a lot, too…. especially pretzels, aka the only thing i ate ALL DAY on saturday at the preakness. oops?
May 17th, 2010 at 10:02 am
I think i just drooled a little lol!!! umm food is seriously my life. I feel like i wake up so i can eat breakfast,lunch and dinner. Then i sleep getting excited to eat break lunch and dinner the next day. Oh and flax encrusted sweet potato balls?!?! genius.
May 17th, 2010 at 10:03 am
I like food.
I like this post.
I like your blog.
I like your writing.
I like the look of that sundae
But really…I LOOOOOOOOVE you
May 17th, 2010 at 11:21 am
Hahahaha I was wondering about those muffins!! I hope you liked them!
And I must tell you- you totally have me craving ice cream. Especially a Dairy Queen Georgia Mud Fudge Blizzard. Have you ever had one of those? the best!!!
May 17th, 2010 at 11:57 am
I totally got suckered into the pagent, too! They seriously get me every time. I don’t even know why I love them so much. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised since I do love reality TV a lot. *cough* The Bachelor, The Hills… etc….
May 17th, 2010 at 12:21 pm
I like that you like many of my favorite foods. You totally have me addicted to runny, gooey eggs. And icecream? Yes…pure love.
May 17th, 2010 at 12:51 pm
Milwaukee is a great town…granted I may be a little biased as it’s where I live! Glad you are starting to enjoy it. Transfer is also great and dangerously addictive!
May 17th, 2010 at 12:59 pm
Um, you’re adorable. I like you. I like this post. I like food.
I don’t like that I probably won’t be able to meet your gorgeous face at the HLS. I have about 55 birthdays to celebrate in August and I know if I leave town I’ll be hurting someone’s feelings. Sigh…
May 17th, 2010 at 1:04 pm
Okay. Most delicious post i’ve READ in weeks. Seriously!
I could totally go for a big ol’ bowl of noodles with tomato sauce and roasted broccoli right now, or a yogurt mess, some pizza (i’m on some pizza kick and have been having it like crayy lately–love you amy’s, and love you fancy restaurants with your amazing fancy pizzas), or bananas, peanut butter….but you must tell me how the flax-encrusted sweet p balls were! I’ve been meaning to make thosee!!
Love you, you hot thang (your skin is gorg!). Let’s catch up soon! xoxox
May 17th, 2010 at 2:12 pm
Love the weekend recap! Hope all is well girl! xoxo
May 17th, 2010 at 3:03 pm
That pizza looks amazing!!!

GAHHH! I am a DIE HARD Kopps enthusiast….I have frequented there since 1999:) And Transfer is a great addition to MKE too…..the owners are opening another similar restaurant on the East Side of Milwaukee this summer! Looks like you had a great time in Milwaukee…..I don’t LOVE it, but it’s my home now so I’m learning to like it:)
May 17th, 2010 at 4:05 pm
I pretty much love EVERYTHING in this post–especially runny eggs!
May 17th, 2010 at 5:18 pm
I love this post. I now have a serious craving for some ice cream (I’m totally thinking DQ!).
May 17th, 2010 at 6:18 pm
This post is too funny!!
May 17th, 2010 at 6:25 pm
i like this post. and salads. and runny eggs. and the theater. and peter pan. and cute boys in baseball caps. {i added that last one!}
May 17th, 2010 at 6:36 pm
Frozen yogurt with fresh berries and pizza are probably my two favorite foods. Such a good use for paper bags! Mine usually contain recycling.
May 17th, 2010 at 6:36 pm
OMG! I went to milwaukee my past trip to wisconsin and went to kopps too! O… M… G… best custard EVER. I had the flavor of the day and it was caramel cashew. *drools*
Love this post!
May 17th, 2010 at 6:53 pm
my mom took me to the st petersburg ballet version of the nutcracker ages ago. first ballet expereince for the both of us. she asked the usher if we’d be able to understand it since it was in russian. he kindly explained that there were no words
May 17th, 2010 at 8:42 pm
I like this post. =))
May 18th, 2010 at 8:36 am
I like you (even know that’s probably been said 15 times in this comment section, it still holds true). I also really wish I had that head-sized sundae for breakfast right now. That’s right, I like dessert for breakfast. I’ve also been meaning to try those balls…they look so fantastic.
May 18th, 2010 at 7:24 pm
I like food. And I like this post
