Grilled vegetables, green salad and juicy peaches, all from the yard or the farmer's market....yummy

I would love to cook Persian and other Middle Eastern foods!

Pork ribs and sauerkraut, which was enjoyed throughout my childhood....and always eaten with corn. This remains my favorite food from childhood.

a fried egg with spinach, garlic and currants...delicious.

Small bananas in Bangladesh, known as colas, as I remember. I had them in 2000. I recall that Bill Clinton, then president, and a visitor to Bangladesh that year too, liked them so much that he took several of them back on Air Force One!

Every year I go to the Minnesota State Fair, I try a new food on a stick--this year it was the tator tots. They were fabulous...made me want to try cooking them at home--very flavorful.

Today's the last day of the fair and there are several convention-goers in attendance due to the shorten convention schedule.

Steamed Edamame, cashews, raisins, with a light mixture of vinegar, sugar and mayo--crunchy, salty,sweet...satisfies every taste bud!

Believe it or not, Bill Moyers. Since he is from Texas, I imagine we would have some great barbecue and endless conversation from Kennedy to Bush and everyone inbetween.

Very difficult to choose just one...Creme brulee for starters, then lemon bars, and then mango sorbet!!!

My mother's lamb cake; she uses an old Polish pound cake recipe with a cream cheese frosting...makes one for every child and grandchild.

After that, very stale peeps!

Believe it or not, The New York Times Dining Section, which I have been reading religiously for years.....great recipes over the decade...

I would say that the dark chocolate is my favorite....
