Or both
Rex and I took Katie out to lunch today, and let her choose the restaurant. It was no big shocker that she wanted to eat at Chick-fil-A, although I was expecting her to say McDonald's. According to her, though, McDonald's is Jamie's favorite, she prefers the Chick.
Sadly, neither of those choices is a hardship for Rex or I. Neither one of us has outgrown our love of fast food, although we've matured enough to prefer certain foods at certain places. You know, the fries at McDonalds, the chicken sandwich at CFA, the vanilla Coke at Sonic. Rex has been known to make multiple stops to pick up our late night snack.
So anyway, we're sitting at a booth watching Katie have a little chicken with her mayo and shoving Cheerios down Owen's gullet, and Rex comments that if he had to make a list of five meals that if he had to, he could eat for the rest of his life, the Chicken Sandwich/Waffle Fry/Coke combo would totally be on his list.
That's right, folks. We don't have a sex list, a la Friends, we apparently have a food list. It's a wonder Rex and I aren't 500 pounds apiece. He qualified that the meals had to come from restaurants so he wouldn't get in trouble for not wanting anything I cook, and then he mostly picked fast food stuff. I thought that was kinda sad, until I realized that we don't really eat at nice places, even when we have the time and a dearth of children.
So his were the CFA meal, Alice Springs Chicken from Outback, something from Sonic with a vanilla Coke, Peproni Rolls (no, that isn't a typo) from Double Dave's and the Chimichanga that ironically he almost never orders from Chili Gordos. I pretty much froze like a deer in headlights when he put me on the spot, but I did come up with BLT/vanilla Coke at Sonic (see a theme here?), a nice filet meal from Outback or Saltgrass, the giant fondue extravaganza from The Melting Pot, and pretty much any good cheeseburger/chicken sandwich with mayo, lettuce and tomato. Like I told Rex, I like me some meat on a bun.
So, what would be on your list? Food, or sex?

I totally have a food list. Nick prolly has the sex list. (I weigh a zillion pounds, Nick weighs next to nothing. You can see the correlation.)
My food list: 1. All-the-salad-you-can-eat & breadsticks at Olive Garden (with a side of Alfredo for the breadsticks). 2. The beef burrito they used to have at On The Border (the one with potatoes in it) with extra queso for the chips. 3)That yummy bowtie pasta dish with rosemary & mushrooms at Macaroni Grill & their yummy yummy bread. 4) Peproni Rolls with ranch dressing and marinari (eaten alternating bites, not mixed). 5. Chili Cheese Fries from sonic with a cherry limeade.

But wait, which sex list? They had the one where there were five celebrity women they could have sex with if they got the chance...and the five wackiest places they had sex. And Nick wouldn't have that first list...

The celebrity women one. Rex asked me mine, and I told him I really couldn't just have sex with someone I just met, no matter how hot they are. I think that confounded him just a wee bit.
