I put something in earlier but I forgot about the best pizza I ever had. It was in a tiny little place on the Outer Banks in North Carolina, called Nino's Pizza.
That pizza alone is the reason I would love to go back to the Outer Banks. When some of my friends were talking about going this year I asked if there was any way they could bring me back some Nino's pizza. There were 13 of us the year we went and we all agreed that it was the best we'd ever had. |

Otherwise, since I am from Norway, I have to say that nothing beats a good roast of reindeer with wild game sauce , and of course, home made Norwegian waffles with raspberries and sour cream for dessert. |
Daddy D's ribs and warm off the bush raspberries from my neighbors farm. I am sooo lucky I get to walk across the street and pick anything I want. :-)

Okay, it's actually a meal we traditionally have around Easter.
Hummus, Tabouli, Grapeleaves stuffed with Lamb, Lubia ( Lamb & green bean stew) real pita from the middle eastern bakery, ... and to finish it off.... Baklava! you have to roll me away from the table... I could eat like that every day. |
salmon with ponzu sauce and a spicy tuna hand roll

Chocolate sack at Jake's in Portland, OR.

Our son-in-law's Sirloin Steak. He won't tell me how it fixed it, but it is "out of this world.!"

I'm easy to please. We had a wonderful dinner at Ruby Tuesday that consisted of 2 lobster tails and steak with steamed veggies. It was just delicious and we had a "buy one, get one free" coupon so it was only $20 for the two of us, yippee ;)

This is too hard! First thing that comes to mind is crab fried rice at a very small local Thai restaurant. I don't know how they do it, but I always way over eat with that one. Second are chocolate truffles from some small place in Berkeley that I can't remember the name of. Have them about 20 or so years ago, but still remember them.

Home made mac and cheese!
|
sweatpotato pie
|
Oyster omelet in LA. Oh it was soooo very good!
|
A piece of wedding cake that was baked and decorated by the Best Man : ) It was white cake and in between the layers he laid out fresh raspberries and drizzled Chambord liqueur. It was beautifully decorated as well. I had to rescue the cake top and put it in the freezer because the guests were going back for seconds on the cake. Delicious :!:

There is nothing better on Gods green earth than Dungeness Crab from the Pacific Northwest. I grew up on Hood Canal (Grammas_) and we ate crab, fresh salmon, and oysters (small Olympias) practically every day. Last August I went to Wa State to see my kids and my boy (50) said he had a surprise for me. It was fresh Halibut, Sea bass and Dungeness crab that he and his other caught in the San Juan Islands and the halibut in the Pacific Ocean. I ate that stuff for 3 solid days. My heritage is American Indian from the Washington coast so I am a native and also a seafood lover. Can't get ANY fresh seafood here in lovely sunny Arizona!!!!! Am taking an Alaska Cruise in May and hope to stuff myself on crab, fish and oysters, and some Lobster from the east coast.....

I have so many favorites it is impossible to pick just one.
|
a big dish of butter pecan ice cream or vanilla icecream with strawberries on top. of course, chocolate covered pecan candy is nice too.
|
I'd have to say Homemade black walnut ice cream. mom would get it ready, dad ran the ice cream maker as we kids helped add ice and salt. the anticipation about tore us up, but was worth it.
|
My mums meat and potato pie!...I know exactly how how to make it and Ive done it hundreds of times...but it never tastes quite as good as my mums!

It was soooooo good that I had 2 orders. No wonder my son is so sweet! |

The best thing I ever ate is when my father and I made home made Potatis Korv (Swedish Potato Sausage) with lefse and lingonberries. Gosh, I miss my Dad! Edie

Snow Ice Cream in the middle of winter, with fresh from the
cow cream, sugar and vanilla. Nothing since then has tasted so good, even in gourmet rxestuarants!! |
Huge big fat soft thick sugar cookies from my childhood neighbor "Martha". We asked Martha for the recipe and she laughed that she didn't have a recipe. She learned how to make them from her mom, "Mother Haney". so once my sister and I watched her make them, and wrote down exactly what she did and how much she used (the blue bowl = 1 1/2 cups). They are close, but not exact. Martha has been gone for years and years, but even my kids know and love "Martha cookies"

Probably knowing that I can't have them again makes them more attractive...~sigh~ Never ate another scallop but dang they were good!! |

Have to second the homemade black walnut ice cream but also put in a plug for my father's corn fritters with real maple syrup or my mom's fried chicken dinner. When I was stationed in Germany, we used to go the the Shutzen Haus restaurant and they served a "Shutzen Platter" dinner there that was delicious and filling plus reasonably priced. Too many good foods to narrow it down to one except fresh caught and cooked lobster dripping in butter. That would be my final meal. Just the lobster and plenty of it. Yummers.

Homemade English Toffee!!! My mom made it when I was a child and I make it every Christmas.
This year I sent a tray of cookies with English Toffee in the middle in a cupcake paper with my daughter to work. The first person, ate a piece of the english toffee and took the whole thing! |

My Mom's made from scratch Macaroni and Cheese - and I waited too long to ask her for the recipe - she couldn't remember it - she always made it 'by slap and by dash.' She used small mac shells, butter, I don't know what kind of cheese in chunks, poured milk on it and baked it. I loved the crispy edges!
