Three Things...Gratitude Thread

[flyingdumbo127]

Good morning

I have shared before that I did enjoy a smaller children's series of 15 books called My Secret Unicorn by Linda Chapman. If any of you have read these stories, PM me. It would be fun to discuss them with you.

Fast forwarding is such a handy feature.

Dumbo ride flies at exactly my "fast," speed!

Happy Sunday

Here’s the three things I’m grateful for

Chocolate is hard for me, as I am not very much of a fan. However...
Two family recipes, Colby Cake (Mrs. Colby was my great grandmother's neighbor) and chocolate steamed pudding (my nana's recipe). My favorite "chocolate" recipe is red velvet cake, but being as "brown" was listed on the description of answers, I didn't go with that.

Milk chocolate covered pretzels; I'm into the sweet/salty thing.

Swiss chocolate fudge from The Goldenrod in York Beach, Maine. It's far, far closer to white chocolate than regular fudge- it's a pale tan color with almonds- but not at all very chocolaty which is probably why i like it.

ETA: I just thought of one I really like: Chocolate ice cream sodas, but made with peppermint stick ice cream!

Fast things-
Big Thunder Mountain, Slinky Dog, and 7DMT. These are the only coasters I ride at Disney. TT is OK, but I can only do it once as the outside track portion tends to make me queasy.
Cars. When we were in our early 20s and Rt. 495 around Boston was brand new, we'd take my roommates' cars- either a TransAm or a Camaro, depending on the roommate- out in the wee small hours and open them up on 495, hitting over 100mph just for the heck of it. LOVED that but now I get palpitations thinking about what could have happened. We were young, stupid, invincible.
Take-off on an airplane. I love the feeling of speed and being pushed back into the seat as the plane defies gravity and takes to the air. Physics is pretty cool (just don't make me prove things)!

Evening all,

Fast things:

1. Rides - thinking along the same lines as Slo here but can't pick just a couple, so naming theme park rides in general although these are some of my tops: Tron, Everest, Cosmic Rewind, Hagrid's, Hulk, Stealth, Rita.

2. Cars - probably shouldn't admit to this but I love being able to put my foot down when driving. And while I'm still not 100% sold on electric cars, I do love how quickly mine gets off the line...

3. Induction hobs - wasn't too sure about these until I moved into my current house, but I love how fast they can get something cooking and to the boil.

Mr Ed
Family TV that I probably didn't understand... but hey how can you not like a talking horse

Silver
The program was on after school so something to watch... such an obedient horse

Smokey... Fred McMurry movie...who isn't inspired by the ending.... thank goodness for the employee who pitched the movie to Budweiser

Trigger
The last memory of the California desert as we drove past the oldest plant on earth and Roy Rogers museum with trigger on his hind legs in a glass enclosure.... Roy fincaially contributed to the dude ranch I spent the first 12 years of my life.....no horse on the ranch though.
