I'm odd.
I like most frozen fruit, except bananas. I mean, I like bananas, just not frozen.
I have a particular affinity for frozen figs in late fall, as well as frozen pomegranate (peel it first, of course). In the summer, the usual stuff, but mainly all types of berries. I even like frozen prickly pear, which is not exactly up everybody's alley.

Which One Special Holiday Edition! Summer holiday's like 4th of July and Labor Day can be big travel time for many. Growing up was your family summer holiday Travel Time or Staycation?
For my family it was Staycation with barbecue burgers and dogs with watermelon on ice and home-made vanilla ice-cream. It was an opportunity for my mom's side of the family for gathering. So it was large, with 5 families, 3 boys each family and the grandparents it was adults inside, kids all outsiders trashing the back yard running through the sprinklers all day working up an appetite and while most fought over the burgers, me and grandpa were smart and had more hot dogs to enjoy!

We never went anywhere for either holiday. Most of my childhood my Dad only had Sunday's off and very few actual holidays. Christmas Day may have been the only one. He was able to go to work at like 5:00 and get off at 2 or 3. So it was hanging out in the back yard grilling and blowing off fingers.

We pretty much stayed home for most 3-day holiday weekends, but there were other trips, such as family vacations and family reunions, etc. With just a few exceptions, we usually spent Christmas and Thanksgiving at our own house, since most relatives lived 5-7 hours away.

Kicking off an ongoing Which One today so limit yourselves to ONLY discussing upon the option presented.as we gi along there will be other's, so don't jump ahead!
Starting off: Peter Parker or Ben Reilly as Spider-Man? Pete gets my vote on this one as his down on his luck loses even when he wins struggling to make up for his uncle Ben's death which he could have prevented is a strong concept.
Reilly was a unique opportunity which was sadly poorly utilized by Marvel. So much potential there mostly waste I felt.
So who for you?!?

Though, to be fair, I've never read a comic with Ben Reilly as Spider-Man.

As far as holidays? The only ones we ever went away to visit family was Easter. Thanksgiving. Christmas. Stayed home the rest of them. As a kid family was 5 hrs away. As an adult most of my family lives close by.

Peter's clone that came out of the 90's clone saga story. Once he found out that he was the clone and not Peter Parker, he took up the name Ben Reilly and stayed around as the Scarlet Spider, if memory serves. I've only read it once when it was coming out. But I did rather like the Scarlet Spider costume. Though I'll admit it's very "90's fashion" so I think I'm in the minority liking it.
