Just today before I came into work I stopped off at Barnes & Nobles, got me a book, and decided to go to the li'l cafe to get some "breakfast" to take into work. I chose a generous cinammon role and a seductive double chocolate fudge cupcake (for a later indulgent-snack), and when I browse the rest of the food case, there are several cakes in there all sliced up---and they're all varities of cheesecake! *UGH* I just can't stand its presumptuous, gloating attitude... It's bad enough the stuff exists, does there have to be 31 flavors of it too?? Unfortunately, the 4 DVDs of "The Golden Girls" I have at home are filled to the senior citizen brim with cheesecake. But ya know what? (heh heh, I love this...) We cheesecake-haters got BEA ARTHUR herself on our side! OH yeah! Read it 'n weep, folks! [from a Lifetime online chat with Ms. Arthur] "Cjovanoski: Whats your favorite cheesecake? Bea: Do you know something? Now this goes to the grave with you -- I hate cheesecake! Lifetime Host: How did you manage to eat all that cheesecake??? Bea: You do what you have to do, you know?!? And there was a lot of cheesecake I tell you!" source: <a href="http://www.lifetimetv.com/community/chat/beaarthur_transcript03.html" target="_blank">http://www.lifetimetv.com/comm unity/chat/beaarthur_transcript03.html</a> "Question: How much cheesecake has Bea eaten? Answer: None! Bea hates cheesecake! Sorry to break all of your dreams!" source: <a href="http://www.beatricearthur.com/fibsfacts.php" target="_blank">http://www.beatricearthur.com/ fibsfacts.php</a> (Alright DAR...if we start to get ganged-up-on in here, we can just hide behind The Bea---I ain't skeered!)

Originally Posted By Autopia Deb Unless it's a Mrs Smith's frozen pie, I like the flakey crust and the goo between the hot fruit, so long as it's not cherries or blueberries. I also hate cherries on my cheesecake, blech.

Originally Posted By chickendumpling I like cheesecake. With stuff on top. And apple pie and flaky crusts and gooey hot fruity pies. And while I'm at it I will just confess that.... I like mushrooms. A lot. (only cooked though) AND I like mustard and kraut on my dog AND I like tomatoes Sorry, man.

Originally Posted By MomofPrincess NOT mushrooms, ChickieD! Anything but... mushrooms! *gasp* *choke* Kraut rocks. Or tocks. Whatever that means.
Originally Posted By chickendumpling Not to go tooo off topic but I like fried mushrooms too. And fried pickles. Oh, yeah, forgot to say I like pickles. Not on my cheesecake though.

Originally Posted By LacyBelle OK, slight typo in 'cheesecake' up there, but you know what I meant. Chesse-cake. Now that's something else altogether. What? I have no idea.
Originally Posted By chickendumpling <<Fried Mushrooms, fried pickles and fried cheesecake. Chickie, that puts ya in total bliss, huh? >> I like it alright but I find "bliss" elsewhere...

Originally Posted By MomofPrincess LOL! That's hilarious! I wonder how many people he tried to enlighten?
