I once met a bloke from Manchester (living in NY) for about an hour at lunch in San Diego during a convention - we had a right laugh, bitching about bad bosses, etc and generally taking the mick. More like best mates after an hour than a lot of people here.
I like:

A great salad bar
T-bone steak
Abundant seafood
Cherry Garcia Low-Fat frozen yoghurt
Red Velvet cake, with cream cheese frosting.
German Chocolate cake made with buttermilk.
Jack Daniels and Diet Coke.
Ice, ice, ice and more ice for drinks.

Air Conditioning.

The turtles that live in my yard.
The lizard that lives on my mailbox.
The woodpeckers and owls that visit our trees.

Charleston, South Carolina
Savannah, Georgia.
The Pacific Coast Highway.

Orange trees, loaded with oranges.
A pumpkin patch on a beautiful autumn day.

The St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

Drive through dry cleaners and prescription pickup.

Save the best for last - Frozen Margaritas.
