Lemon frozen custard from the late, great, dearly departed Custard Beach on 8th Street in Manhattan. I still miss that place.

I think that would be buying fish for a Passover Seder in Munich. We bought some exquisite ruby red Norwegian salmon for 75 marks {a little over 50 dollars}. When my German hostess {she is married to an American friend} saw me grind it up in a food processor and then cook it until it smelled like canned salmon, she hit me with a wooden spoon.

If you can get hold of Thomas Keller's Ad Hoc cookbook, he has exactly what you are looking for, judging from this photograph.

Oh, there are so many... I stopped eating meat about four years ago, so no more chicken matzo ball soup, chopped liver, brisket, pastrami, gribenes, or my grandmother's special knishes. Can I really go back to Germany and skip the weisswurst, speck, sauerbraten, krustenbraten, zweibelfleisch, and late night doner kebabs? I stopped eating sushi, too, and I don't eat lox on my bagels anymore because it's all farmed salmon.

I had to stop baking, because I realized that I had a choice: I could bake, or I could zip my jeans. So no sour cherry pie this summer, no birthday banana cake with cream cheese frosting, no fall tarte tatin, no holiday cookies or cheesecake.

I'm really depressing myself here.

Edy's frozen fruit pops or Skinny Cow Fudge pops. All less than a hundred calories apiece.

A bowl of frozen raspberries, sprinkled with sugar and a little vanilla, eaten one by one with the fingers...

Penzey's Dutch process cocoa powder, water, ice, about half a cup of 2% milk, sugar, and water buzzed in the blender for a skinny but exceedingly satisfying chocolate shake.

What if you used savoiardi instead of crackers? I'm envisioning a fusion version of tiramisu with the Key Lime mix instead of mascarpone.

I can't make a drinkable cup of coffee, even though I buy really good beans and have an expensive French Press and a decent stovetop espresso maker.

Erin, if you live in NYC, you can come over here and I'll show you the magic.

If you want crunchy, gently brush the tops the milk and sprinkle them with sugar before baking.

a packet of roasted, seasoned seaweed from the Korean grocery store, a handful of walnuts or pecans, a handful of dried apricots.

When are you going to invite the locals again?!
