My Favorite Things

I heard the song "My Favorite Things" from the Sound of Music, so I decided to just write about my favorite things. These are questions we rarely ask people so I will save you from having to ask me:

1. Chocolate - good chocolate like Hershey's, Rosalind Candy Castle, Lindt, Turtles
2. Chocolate cake with Chocolate frosting, french vanilla ice cream
