Making a list, forgetting it twice

vovatHere are two list-type memes I came across recently. Actually, with the latter, I've seen it a lot of times, but never got around to doing it myself.
First, some comments on this list of comfort foods:
• Apple Pie - I like it, although I can't really eat a whole lot of it. Pie crust is so filling.
• Baked Beans - No, I've never liked them.
• Banana Pudding - You'd think I would like it, but I don't remember being too keen on the kind I had at Charlie Brown's Steakhouse. I'd like to try Kelly Hogan's, though. And bananas in and of themselves are a favorite of mine. They're my Ray Comfort Food. {g}
• Beef Stew - I'm not a big fan, but it's okay sometimes. Stew is one of those things that can really taste like just about anything, you know?
• Brisket Pot Roast - I've had pot roast, but I don't think briskets were ever involved, and I wouldn't consider it a comfort food.
• Chicken & Dumplings - Well, Chick-fil-A is a comfort food for me. I like chicken served in other ways, but it's too messy for me to be totally comfortable with it.
• Chicken Pot Pie - While I like pot pie better than stew, it has similar variety in quality. My favorite brand of frozen pot pie is Myers, which I don't think they sell outside my general area.
• Chicken Soup - Well, chicken noodle, maybe.
• Chili - I've never been a big fan, but I guess it can be okay if it's not too spicy.
• Chocolate Chip Cookies - Yeah, I think they'd qualify, although I actually prefer oatmeal raisin. I'm weird that way.
• Corn on the Cob - Not a comfort food, but pretty much the only way I actually enjoy eating corn.
• Fried Chicken - I guess that qualifies, although, like I said, it's messy.
• Gelatin - Not by itself, but my mom used to make a mixture of Jell-O and yogurt that I think would qualify as a comfort food for me.
• Green Bean Casserole - I don't think I've ever had it, or that I'd want it. Green beans are all right, but I've never been too keen on casseroles.
• Hot Dogs - Sure, I think that qualifies.
• Ice Cream - Yeah, another fairly safe one that fits the bill. No plain chocolate ice cream, though.
• Macaroni & Cheese - Yeah, I like it. My dad used to make baked macaroni that was really good, but he'd often insist on throwing in onions and celery, which kind of ruined it.
• Mashed Potatoes - I mention this pretty much every time there's a list of foods, but I've never liked mashed potatoes. I'm really not big on potatoes in general, but especially not mashed.
• Meatloaf - Another food I never really liked.
• Potato Salad - Not only do I not like potatoes, but it just LOOKS gross.
• Pumpkin Pie - Not sure I'd qualify it as a comfort food, but I do like it.
• Shepherd's Pie - Don't they have mashed potatoes in them? I just SAID I didn't like those!
• Spaghetti - Definitely, especially with meat sauce.
• Tomato Soup - See, the thing is, I remember eating tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches with my dad as a kid, but I think I've lost my taste for it. It's not terrible, but I can't eat much of it.
• Tuna Casserole - I've never been a fan of tuna. There's a reason cats like it so much, and that's because it essentially IS cat food.
And here's a list of bands/artists I like, one for each letter in the alphabet. I tried to go with my overall favorite for each letter, if I had one.
Tori Amos
Frank Black
Neko Case
Dresden Dolls
Elf Power
Fastbacks
Gothic Archies
Hypnotic Clambake
Interpol (I really don't know too many I bands, so I just went with the one I have the most MP3s by.)
Elton John
James Kochalka (Superstar)
Tom Lehrer
Magnetic Fields
New Pornographers
Olivia Tremor Control
Pixies
Queen
Rasputina
Sugarplastic
They Might Be Giants
Unit 4+2 (I only know one song by them, but it's pretty much all I have under U in my iTunes library. Anyone want to recommend a U band?)
Vermillion Lies
Rufus Wainwright
XTC
Young Fresh Fellows
Zombies
