I grew up in the Ozarks, hailing from Springfield, MO and spending lots of time all over SW / NW MO down to Arkansas. I love the Ozark Mountains and miss them.

Teri, I just went through the first messages we posted here some 5 or 6 years ago - very funny to reread them and some nice discussions about "favorites" - any kind that is.

Hi ´¡²Ô»å°ùé! I did that a few months ago. I need to do it again. It's a great way to get connected with our members. It's also worth re-doing from time to time, as I suspect favorite things change from time to time.

Awesome. I went to Kickapoo and then on to Missouri State.

Rohit who does not like pizza - no matter what country you are from (smile). You like the winter - wow - after the winter we have had here - we are looking for spring (smile). Some interesting choices.

Haha, I love Pizza more than any Indian food. I love winter because right now here its 40°C (104 °F). We will get spring in June.

I was surprised at your answer 'coconut water'. We drink a lot of coconut water here in India but I didn't know people from western countries also liked it. I would any day prefer natural stuff like coconut water over some carbonated artificial drink.

I see - winter is pleasant then and not unbelievably hot like other times of year. I understand now. I love coconut water. But getting the real coconut water with the straw in the coconut - I can only get in Hawaii normally or sometimes when I visit my son where he is in Asia. We have to rely on coconut water like Zico but still good. It has a lot of natural potassium in it which is very good and healthy for people.

I am with you on that - I try to drink a lot of water in its various forms - sparkling is ok too if there are no additives. Soda I stay away from. A lot of these drinks have sodium in them so you have to stay away from that.

I love Indian food - mostly the vegetarian varieties but I like the vindaloo chicken as well. And of course the chutneys, and the pickles that go along with it. I try to stay away from the wonderful bread = But I think pizza is my favorite and of course that is not good calorie wise but still delicious.

Now I have to ask you - how is pizza in Mumbai - that must be tough.

Winter here is minimum 15°C and mostly not less than that. Here coconut water with real coconut and straw is available in abundance though not as much as in south India where its available in every nook and corner. I guess Hawaii is far away from your place. Which country does your son stay in Asia?

Here we call 'plain sparkling water' as 'soda', and your 'soda' as 'soft drink' (pepsi etc.). Good to see you stay away from soda and stuff. When we were kids we would regularly drink pepsi n other carbonated stuff, later there was a lot of awareness and we totally stopped it at Home. My father says better drink beer than coke :P

Even though I am an Indian, I am not a vegetarian. I haven't tried Vindaloo chicken yet, it is a dish from a different state 'Goa', perhaps I will try it soon. Try butter chicken and naan, it isn't that spicy. I stay away from pickles as they are very strong and oily. Haha people of my state eat a lot of bread which we call 'Pav' but still I don't eat it much.

Here we have Dominos, Papa johns, Pizza Hut etc. as well as our own 'Smokin Joe's'. There are some Indianized pizzas in local restaurants which have spicy minced vegetables but I am not a big fan of it.

Singapore.

I will try your suggestion the next time - butter chicken and naan - sounds good. I do not mind the spices though. I guess each region of India has different regional cuisine. Yes, I should stay away from the pickles too. (lol)

Ah so you have all of the chains. Now Smoking Joes sounds interesting. But I imagine you stick to getting the Americanized one. You should really try the pizzas in Italy that are made from scratch - absolutely amazing.

Wow, the beautiful Singapore.

Oh yes, each state of India has its own unique food and cuisine. One state is mostly vegetarian, whereas some other cannot live without meat. My state banned beef whereas a southern state eats beef every day. A state in northeast eats dog, whereas another one mostly enjoys fish. We are a continent masquerading as a country :p Haha, and its ok to eat pickles one a while.

I prefer Dominos because it's really tasty as well as near my house, delivers in 20 mins. I really want to try authentic Naples pizza. I have heard that the pizzas cooked in the natural wood-fired oven taste absolutely awesome. I am planning to cook an authentic Italian Pizza at home soon.

Really but you are not a vegetarian. Oh dear - dog - that is not too good.

Well pickles now are better that some of the other choices (lol)

Very good on the authentic Italian pizza - make sure all of your ingredients are imported from Italy and that should help you out. At least you would be off to a fine start. And try to get to Naples or other parts of Italy and order a pizza. It might ruin you for Dominos (lol)

Corey very interesting. You have such a wide range of music and food preferences but it appears you like carbs. And you like leisurely activities where you can relax. You seem to me be more of a dog person but you say you like cats!
