Food, again...
I see from the last fact LIST comments, that you all have some kind of deep seated feelings when it comes to peas. The faces and acts that you used to do when you had to eat, like, 7 peas. You wouldn't mix them with something else to moderate the flavor ("I don't want to eat them with my...potatoes... 'cause it would spoil the taste"). So, you would wait until the very last of the meal and be faced with eating those ...7... peas by themselves. This would allow these deep seated feelings to come to the surface and make the chewing of these innocuous vegetables to be like the third act of Hamlet. Such dramatics... (The Mom and I used to like to watch these theatrics).
We also had other great green vegetables like green beans, spinach, turnip greens (mmm...), asparagas and usually some kind of green salalad. You were so deprived when it came to food (mmmfph...).
So, this leads us to the next fun food fact LIST.
There are 2 instances, related but different, where the number 2 had significance when it came to food.
What were they...
For extra credit, if I said "the letter 2", to what would that refer...
Hmmm...

Yea Aaron
The first one is right but there were 2 specific times where this fact LIST was very prominent.
The second is not an SNL actor but this person was on SNL.
Valentine's and Halloween were the two times when candy was in the house and we had to pace ourselves and only eat two a day.
Subsidiary list fact: I actually learned to bake cookies because it exempted me from the 2 rule. You can eat as much cookie dough as you want and not get caught if you're the one doing the baking.
Yea Alison and Aaron
Yes, Halloween and Valentines were the 2 specific times. You would take such care and give alot of thought on just which 2 pieces you would chose. You know, volume, quality, content... And now we have a chocolate basket...
Yep, the actor was David Duchovney.
Yea, celebrate with a Twinkie or a Hostess cupcake. Mmmm... with a center of genuine, artifical, fake, whipped, dairy like material substance.
speaking of fake, whipped, dairy like material substances...cool whip is the best food on the face of the earth.
Y'all are crazy! Although I guess I wasn't all that concerned about what I ate until I was pregnant with Alison. From then on nutrition was a high priority with me. Don't ask me why we have a chocolate basket now! I guess to bribe you all to come see us!
A money basket might work better...
