So feel free to share your favorite snacks, drinks, pastries, restaurants, and recipes regardless of calories, health, money, etc. All I'm concerned about it taste.

Tue Oct 27 16:32:22 -0700 2009 5135588 103920 goodhealthgourmet 1 5135755 I'd go with red meat, pasta, bread and pizza. But that's just me.

Tue Oct 27 20:00:38 -0700 2009 5135588 1099102 daffyduck 1 5136681 Are there any really good cafeterias in your area? I strongly prefer cafeterias to buffets because I KNOW no one's kids have played in the food! Anyway, a friend and I were going down the line in a cafeteria one day when a group of high school girls came in, each took a tray then headed for the desserts. They all got at least seven or eight desserts each. When I asked if their mother's knew about their dietary habits, they all laughed and said next week it would be veggies. I've never tried it, but always felt it was a fun and creative way to explore food categories. I'd probably go for six or seven entrees. Come to think of it, I have done that! The same friend and I both started laughing at my choices when we got to our table. I had picked up six or seven different cabbage dishes!

Especially when topped with some raspberries and drizzled with lavender honey.

I need to post on the Chains board that I just bought the full fat of the TJs brand and it's great. And about 1/3 the price or less. I need to go on a honey tasting adventure. I love the lavender so much.
