On the off chance that someone is interested

Here's a cool meme that I've seen floating around, most recently in the LJ of ww1614.

Ask me for "top five" lists of pretty much anything, and I will list you my top five of that thing or things.

Come one, come all. Step right up and ask away. :)

ETA The juxtaposition of the meme's content and the music that I was listening to at the time amuses me.

Top 5 desserts that I didn't have to make

1. Triple chocolate mousse. A combination of white chocolate, milk chocolate, and dark chocolate mousse at a much lamented French restaurant that used to be close to my house.

2. My grandmother's banana pudding. The real kind made only with Nilla wafers.

3. The red velvet cake that my aunt makes for me. With cream cheese frosting.

4. My mother's apple turnovers.

5. My husband's made from scratch apple pie. He's made it for my birthday in some years.

Honorable mention goes to a buttercream frosted yellow cake garnished with strawberries with lemon curd filling.

Now I'm hungry! lol

Damn it. Now I'm going to have to have some red velvet cake. This is the problem with being single--if I buy a cake, I have to eat the whole thing. Poor me. ;)

Anyway:

Top Five Favorite Places, please.

op Five Favorite Places

I had to think about this one for a little while and decided to go for very specific to me locations rather than more general places. In no particular order.

1. The hammock at my father-in-law's vacation home on Lake Leelanau with the wind rustling the leaves of the silver beeches.
2. The beach at night. Particularly on the NC coast and in Hawaii.
3. My mother's house.
4. Yale, specifically the Silliman dining hall and courtyard.
5. My bathtub late at night when everything is quiet in my house.
