  92. My favorite candy is caramel and toffee.
  93. I heart corn bread and honey butter. Corn is also not on my “blood type” diet. :(
  94. I’ve only met one cheese I didn’t like. It was 20+ years ago and I don’t remember what it was, but it smelled awful, too. I tend to favor white cheeses. My favorites include cream cheese, mascarpone, cottage, ricotta, jack, provolone, and mozzarella. I also love gouda, muenster and mild cheddar. I love aged and sharp cheese, but I do not like the headaches that accompany them, so I avoid them.
  95. I am a walking allergy. I have multiple indoor and outdoor allergies. Urticaria is part of my vocabulary. I’ve even had it on the palms of my hands. I have multiple food allergies, including nitrates, nitrites, sulfites, MSG, and aspartame.
