..... Parmesan Cheese! The real deal --- all dishes made with Parmesan -- could get very creative!, but nothing too strange- no chocolate/parmesan desserts, etc. Other than that, it would be heaven!

P.S. Re the garlic themed restaruant -- in Madison, NJ there is a restaurant called Garlic Rose -- all garlic, all the time, every dish -- I can't go near the place and if you are with someone who does, you can't go near them for a couple of days.

Could never give up cookies! A good homemade cookie with oatmeal, chocolate chips, nuts and dried cherries is one of life's simiple, but exquisite pleasures.

Add these to your list for quick, light, healthy and satisfying:
1) Single serving size microwave Kettle Corn popcorn
2) Fuji apple spread with reduced fat crunchy peanut butter (or get the dried 75% reduced fat peanut butter and mix with water, juice or applebutter)
3) Bowl of Kashi Go-Lean Crunch cereal with banana or blueberries, small sprinkle of chopped walnutes and low fat milk
4) Whole grain waffle topped with apple butter, 1% fat whipped cottage cheese and small sprinkle of chopped nuts or honey roasted soy nuts
5) Vanilla flavored, fat free Greek yogurt mixed with Grape Nuts Trail Mix Crunch and dried cherries (no sugar needed)
6) Glenny's single serve bag of soy crisps -- Apple Cinnamon are best-- with a cup of tea

Pastina cooked in chicken broth with a beaten egg added while the broth boils--finished off with butter and lots of parmesan once the mixture thickens. Delicious! My mother always made it for me when I had a bad cold as a kid. I made it for my daughter who is now 23 and still loves it.

A friend of mine at Vassar told me about a place in Poughkipsee called the "Yeung Ho Chinese Restaurant"

Phuket, let's Thai one on.

My favorite is the chinese restaurant in Cooperstown, NY.

Foo Kin, as in "I want some of that Foo Kin Chinese Food!"

There's a Chinese restaurant here in Portland, OR called Hung Far Low. I have no idea why.

There used to be a place called Takee Outee in the French Quarter. There was one right up the street from Pat O's. The eggrolls were huge, delicious and exactly what we needed after a few Hurricanes. Good times.

Definitely peanut butter. I, too, have eaten at Peanut Butter & Co. in New York (and LOVED it), but I'd love to have a more upscale restaurant and definitely an even larger menu than they currently do. Peanut butter can be used in so many ways - from sweet to savory, appetizers to dessert, Latin American to Thai flavors, and just about everything in between.....
