What desserts should i make a for a bar mitvah??

having grown up in a very very jewish suburb (meaning i had to actually turn down bar/bat mitzvah invitations because there were multiple ones every weekend), you could really take it any way you want. i think cookies are a great idea as well as some fun brownies. on the traditional side, there are things like rugelach, mandelbread, coffee cake. i've seen little doughnuts as well as cheesecake too...but honestly, one bar mitzvah i went to was absolutely awesome because it had a chocolate fountain. really really fun for kids and adults, you can get stuff like marshmallows, fruit, cakes to dip in it.

Who Should Pay at a Birthday Dinner?

i just went out last night to a birthday dinner and even though it was one check (About 415), we all paid for our respective dishes/drinks. half of us didn't order desserts and i only got about two drinks, so there was no way we were going to pay for things ordered that we didn't want.

I DO agree with the poster way above me though that talked about how if we all agree on what is ordered (more family style), i have no problems with splitting the bill

I'll Eat It, But I'm Not a Huge Fan of _________

chinese food.

You either love it or you hate it...

i'll respond to what was originally posted, i like those ideas:

Liver: love it, but the only way i've only had it in my 20 years of life is chopped w/ some hard boiled egg

Licorice: disgusting imo

Anchovies (especially on pizza) and sardines: delicious, even in caesar salad dressing

Cilantro: love love love

Garlic and onions: great combo

Pistachio ice cream (I'm thinking of brooke, here!): i'll say love it but only the really good kind...i enjoy ciao gelato's version

My big aversion--coconut!: ew, especially in macaroons

Cincinnati chili or chili with/without beans: NEVER had this...but i do like chili?

Chicago deep dish pizza: love it (Says the chicagoan)

Spam (those from Hawaii and those not from Hawaii): nope, won't do it

Very sugary candies (gummi bears, Sweet Tarts, etc): i'm a chocolate person, never liked this stuff even as a kid. i especially hate/hated sour patch kids

Obligated to eat dessert?

i don't ever feel obligated, but when i do go out to eat with my family it becomes very frustrating because they all seem to PUSH food onto others. usually i don't eat dessert unless it's something i REALLY love (e.g. something with bananas or peanut butter) but even if its something as stupid as a cookie i am glared at with a weird look and subsequently teased. sometimes i think they do that to rationalize that they are eating dessert (many are overweight) and maybe aren't even hungry but still want it

Ask Aida?? NFNS idea?

shows like that have to go into pre-production, possibly even six months before they start advertising like that. they did not steal adam's idea

Love to eat but hate eating out because of fat!!!

i really only go as far as subbing in salads or just veggies for sides and having dressing on the side. otherwise, i just eat a smaller portion of the protein :)

The versatile tortilla

i like to make thin crust pizzas too when i don't want all the doughy bread, just some sauce, cheese, chicken or some kind of protein

Would you rather give up bacon or french fries?

french fries...bacon isn't horrible in moderation, and even turkey bacon is good in my opinion. ALTHOUGH, if they were sweet potato fries, i'd give up the bacon :)

Snack ideas for people who travel

i love beef jerky (the natural kind, without all the preservatives and sodium) as a quick protein source. any type of nut butter and whole wheat bread will keep you full as well.
