Luscious, Light Panna Cottas

Bless you for posting this recipe. Panna cotta is my absolute favorite dessert!

As long as she's not dieting, I'd dine with Oprah at her Santa Barbara estate. The meal: tomato & basil (grown on her property?) w/ mozzarella, mac & cheese, fried chicken and a cobbler for dessert. Whew! I'm full just thinking about it!

Making a week's menu (thanks dad!) that will determine what goes on the grocery list. I can also credit my mom's example of cooking 2-3 main dishes on a Sunday. I also chop & save extras of granishes like cilantro or onion to use for egg breakfasts during the week.

I would have to say Oprah. I admire her so much for all that she does for other people. I would like to have a salad with a creme brulee dessert.

I'd love to eat with Oprah! She would appreciate some good southern cooking. I'd cook my famous crock pot maccaroni & cheese, collard greens, and smothered chicken over rice. Yum!!!

I would like to dine with Ellen. We would try something from Bosco's Chicken and Waffles, because that would be a hoot!

No contest...I would want to sit down to an afternoon lunch in some open air restaurant and discuss where Oprah sees this country heading. As we would munch on a delicious Chicken Ceasar Salad with fresh shreded Parmesan Cheese I could probe her thoughts and reasoning in supporting Barack Obama as a presidential candidate and if she has had any second thoughts about that decision since the campaign has turned so ugly with all the media spin. And ask her too...what does she think of the way news media and paparazzi conduct their business in reporting the lives of high profile individuals like herself.

I would chose Ellen as she is a good sport and is willing to try anything! I think we would try Southern foods.
