The dish of choice would have to be baby spinach, bibb lettuce, portabello mushrooms, sliced Vidalia white onions, toasted almonds in a Balsamic vinegar and olive oil vinaigrette.

A leg of lamb, butterflied, cooked slowly on the grill, with olive oil, rosemary, garlic, salt, and pepper, as the Greeks did for me in the Pláka in Athens many years ago at Greek Easter, is at the top of my list.

My Danish sea captain husband took me back to Denmark. There he taught me all the delicious recipes in his family history.
Before Denmark, I thought cheddar cheese was the only cheese.
Ah, me! Such innocence.

Cook the Book: Simple Chocolate Mousse
CHOCOLATE HAZELNUT POTS DE CREME! YUM!!!!!!
Yield:6
6 oz bittersweet chocolate, chopped
2 cup whipping cream
6 egg, yolks
1/3 cup sugar
2 tbsp hazelnut or almond liqueur
dash vanilla
1 tbsp chopped toasted hazelnut
Directions:
Preheat oven to 325ºF (160ºC).
Place chocolate in heatproof bowl. In saucepan, bring 1 1/2 cups (375
mL) of the cream just to boil; pour over chocolate and stir until
melted.
In separate bowl, whisk egg yolks with sugar; whisk in one-third of the chocolate mixture. Stir in remaining chocolate mixture, hazelnut liqueur
and vanilla. Pour into six 6-ounce (175 mL) custard cups or ramekins;
place in 13- x 9-inch (3.5 L) metal cake pan. Pour in enough boiling
water to come halfway up sides of cups.
Bake in centre of oven until set around edge but still slightly jiggly
in centre, about 20 minutes. Remove cups from pan; let cool on rack to
room temperature. Cover and refrigerate until chilled. (Make-ahead:
Refrigerate for up to 24 hours.)
In bowl, whip remaining cream. With piping bag or spoon, pipe onto
centre of each serving. Garnish with hazelnuts.

Linguini pasta is a favorite ingredient.
It's easy to curl around a fork, absorbs and enhances many good sauces, and finally satifies deliciously the hunger for Italian cuisine!

Nothing like sliced fresh ripe tomatoes to complement a great sandwich!

If I'm not watching my weight, it's all about the potato salad.

I love crispy, thinly sliced, salty french fries!
But, I usually order a salad :(

Homemade frenchfries and a fresh coleslaw salad, yummm!

depends of course on the sandwich--but my favorite sides include a delicious french potato salad where the potatoes are marinated in olive oil & vinegar before finishing with an herbed dressing (nice with chicken or turkey on cracked wheat or sour dough); a red and green cabbage slaw with sweet-sour mustard sauce (great with roast beef on an onion bagel); and to perfectly complement a grilled cheese sandwich with mimolette, fresh tomatoes and mustard on pumpernickel--a selection of pickles including cornichons, homemade bread and butter and garlic dills. gosh i love sandwiches!!

Depends on the sandwich, fries w/burger or pickles with reg sandwich and of course a diet pepsi.
