I too have noticed a growing number of headers with alcohol in them. I don’t know how I feel about it.

Tollhouse chips rock. Have you tried the dark chocolate and mint mini chips? Heaven. Great list Anna.

wait a minute. You have people who won’t follow you with their “real” identities but will follow you with “fake” ones? Is this b/c they feel too important to follow but really want to know what’s going on w/you? Man, I love the drama of the Internet. We can live in highschool 4evr!

Very funny list today. And I am pretty sure I would totally strong arm for crocs even though I don’t wear them & have never owned a pair but if it meant I’d make a list well then sign me up ;)

@OHMommy, I eat Nestle Tollhouse. I am aware that the store brand ones taste the same, but there’s something about how the Nestle ones are rounded on the top that I prefer. Plus, I’m evil.

@Lisa, Ghirardelli is good, but you have to go old school Tollhouse to remind you of childhood. :)
