What do you like that your significant other just can't stand?
I love pickled herring, The Big Lebowski and comic books to name a few...and she, well... doesn't |

He doesn't like stinky cheese (but will eat it without complaint if I serve it). I need a gorgonzola fix occasionally. |

Taking the train into the city
Peanut butter & cheese sandwiches
Oatmeal with honey & bananas
turning the tv on to whatever program I'm watching so that I can wander from room to room and not miss anything

grocery shopping
grits
oatmeal with butter and milk
light cream in coffee
