While not my favorite style of ice cream, I do sometimes like to eat ice cream sandwiches, especially Carvel's Flying Saucers.

My favorite hoagie is turkey, preferably smoked, and provolone cheese with mustard and mayonnaise with a dusting of ground black pepper. I will sometimes add pickled jalapeño peppers or pickled banana peppers.

I like raspberries in pie, but I do NOT particularly like whipped cream.

My paternal grandfather Giuseppe loved sunflowers. Also, I was a reporter, writer, editor, and researcher for a weekly international magazine on the financial and technical aspects of the chemical industry based in New York City from 1992 to 1996. This included agriculture chemicals (fertilizers), petrochemicals (aromatics and aliphatics), pharmaceuticals, flavors, fragrances, plastics, paints, coatings, oils, fats, waxes, surfactants, and more. My first position there was titled "Oils, Fats, and Waxes Editor," so I occasionally wrote about sunflower seed oil used as an industrial lubricant.

I have played Mahjong on an app on my cell phone.

Mutts, Avocados, & Raspberries

I like mutts, avocados, and raspberries. (I am not such a fan of cake, although I do like frosting.)

Happy Father-in-Law Day to my father-in-law Bob (R.I.P.). He was not only down to earth but also larger than life. Here I am with Bob and my mother-in-law Lorna (R.I.P.) at our wedding reception when I married their daughter Aileen (Debbie) on February 4, 2006. Bob, you are sorely missed and forever in our thoughts and within our hearts. Of course, we also sorely miss Lorna.

I do NOT like cheesecake all that much.

from husband Bill, July 30, 2026

I prefer my hot dogs with ketchup only.

I do not particularly like chicken wings.

Tigers are not native to Africa, so lions and tigers don't hang with each other. Tigers are native to India. Lions and tigers were thrown together to make old jungle movies more exotic.

I prefer dark chocolate to milk chocolate, but milk chocolate is good, too.

I sometimes like a Crème Brûlée.

I lived in New Jersey (two residences in different towns) from around 1994 until 1998, when I moved to southeastern Florida. I moved to New Jersey from Long Island, New York. I worked in New York City (Manhattan) from 1991 to 1998.

I do like the occasional scotch, but I prefer bourbon whiskey.

As for bagels, I prefer a straight sesame bagel, but I must say that I prefer a plain bialy to any bagel, with plain butter or sometimes cream cheese.

from husband Bill, July 26, 2026

Well, yes. I do like coffee milkshakes, but I prefer Black-and-Whites (shakes with chocolate syrup with vanilla ice cream). I believe that I enjoy straight chocolate shakes best: chocolate syrup with chocolate ice cream. Well, no: Black-and-Whites are actually the best due to posterity, and I like saying it.

My heartfelt love goes to all of my many aunts and my many uncles out there. I love you all.

from husband Bill, July 26, 2026

Thanks, Mom. Thanks, Dad, who passed on February 14, 1997.

from husband Bill, July 26, 2026

My love goes to all of the disabled people out there, including myself.

Throw caution to the wind, and go for broke.
