Favorites

So I'm bored (and in some pain, so I don't really feel like actually doing anything) and decided to finally write a post that I've been thinking about for a few days. It's nothing all that interesting I'm sure, but here it is anyway. A list of my favorites.

Food: Italian. And chocolate.

Movie: The Lord of the Rings trilogy, though since they're so long I don't watch them often. You can see more favorite movies in my profile.

Books: Besides the Bible, The Lord of the Rings, The Lovely Bones and the Outlander series, which is 7 books long. I've only read the first two so far. You can see more of my favorite books in my profile.

Meals that I cook: Beef stew, lemon oregano chicken, lasagna, Italian chili (which I'll be making next week), chicken parmesan, spaghetti and fried chicken, which I only make once every few months because it's not all that healthy.

Drinks: Water and sweet iced tea.
