[oldriverat]

Mine's chocolate fudge brownies topped with niller ice cream and chocolate syrup....all served up on the sofa on a Sunday night with SWMBO'd and a good movie.. smile.gif

[Tonyr]

The Gobi

[garland reese]

Hot apple cobbler with a big ol' slab of vanilla ice cream.........those were the days.
Nowadays it's a reasonable slice of sugar free apple pie.....still real good, but not quite the same (I am insulin dependent). :rolleyes:

[Dutch Rub]

I always enjoy a good old fashioned cottage cheese sandwich with ketchup, surrounded by my cats.

Phyllis made apple or cherry pie with Briers ice cream. When eating out, anything that is 100% chockelet something.

[ken mcclure]

Lemme know when the pie's out to cool, Norm. I'll be over with the ice cream.

[Mr. Know It All]

Magic Brownies with green sprinkles. :D
A close 2nd is SWMBO's jello cake with whip cream.

[Mrleft8]

Cold beer

[J. Dillon]

Is that a list you want Mike ? If I have to choose one I'd pick Vanilla Ice cream Sundae.
:D

Vanilla ice cream between two slices of devil's food cake, with hot fudge,whipped topping and a cherry.

Australia is definitely the desert of choice! An entire desert continent surrounded by a lunatic fringe! ;) As evidence I offer Wild Dingo and the other Aussie forum lurkers! :D

MKIA, I prefer my cheesecake plain - all that other stuff hides the true flavor and texture of the cake :D Problem is, I can't just have one slice, so I don't ever buy it.
Same for ice cream. I like it too much to keep it in the house! :(

[R.I.Singer30]

Guinnes Stout.It's dinner and a dessert in one.

[km gresham]

Jim, yum! See my problem? It's just sweets! If it's loaded with sugar and fat and has no nutritional value it's the ultimate food. I think chocolate (dark, of course) is a food group. :rolleyes:

[paladin]

a cherry limeade on a hot summer day.....
Black forest cake and a cuppa hot coffee...
Blackberry or peach real honest to GAWD Suthrin' cobbler with 'nilla ice cream.........

or fried Okra, catfish, fresh termaters and green onions......
Abalone in oyster sauce........
Fresh fried country ham, red eye gravy and fresh baked biscuits..........
real Texican style chili, Jalapeno cornbread and frozen daqueris...... :D :D :D

[km gresham]

Be right there, Paladin! :D Keep that cobbler warm - blackberry, please smile.gif smile.gif

Okra - our annual Irmo festival is the Okra Strut. Don't ask me how it got started - I think a local radio guy used to make fun of Irmese growing okra. smile.gif

I am losing weight, 20lbs so far, a 120 to go, and I'm doing it by avoiding temptation.

,,,,,,,,,,so this thread has been a big help, thanks. May your testicles turn to sugar cubes and caramalize at the corners.

IanW.Ian, maybe a good trek in the nearest desert would be just the ticket for you to avoid temptation :D PS - caramel gronicles?? I'll pass, thanks :eek:

[oldriverat]

KM sez, "Okra - our annual Irmo festival is the Okra Strut"

Will you show us how to do the Okra Strut this weekend KM? :rolleyes: :D

[htom]

I quite understand, Ian. I started losing 45 pounds ago and have about twice that to go.

Favorite desert? There are so many.

Shortcake, with berries & real whipped cream. Maybe a drizzle of chocholate. Berries can be strawberry, blackberry, rasberry, ... or a mixture.

[Jim H]

Karen, I lost my taste for sweets a couple of years ago, except for the occasional pint of Bluebell Ice Cream's "Tin Roof". I started snacking on salty things like chips or pistashios, but I stopped that also. Cannolis (sp), like I remember from Atlanic City's Steel Pier, are hard to find down here. Iguess I'll just have to make do with BBQ, the perfect snack/meal/dessert. :D

[Joe ( Cold Spring on Hudson )]

So many deserts so little time there isn't a lot of deserts I have met I DON'T like :D I am partial to peach pie, a good ol NY cheesecake is good. Cherry Pie with Ronny Brook farms Ginger Ice cream.

On the concept of southern fried Okra. Yesterday at work we have a southern chef training and she made FRIED PICKLES. Boys and girls this died in the wool Lower East Side dill pickle at KATZ DELI loving New Yorker thought he died and went to heaven. MAN O MAN could I eat a bucket of them. She served it with this kinda spicy pink romulade that was amazing. YUM

[JimD]

[tealsmith1]

The Sahara and Peanut Butter Pie

[Meerkat]

Spicy pink romulade... you sure that wasn't ketchup and mayonaise Joe? ;)

[Ian Wright]

Clotted cream from Devon, about two pints should do, with a few dabs of Black current jam.
Creme Brulee.
Strawberry Pavlova,,,,,,,,,,,,
Damn your eyes! Now see what you've done,,,,,,,,,,,,

For Summer: Strawberry pie made with home grown strawberries picked at the moment of perfect ripeness. Serve with whipped cream on top.

or use those strawberries to make home made ice-cream.... wow!

For Fall: Warm apple pie made with a blend of apples served with vanilla ice-cream...

For Winter & Spring try chocolate pound cake or lemon chiffon pie.

And I'm trying to lose weight too... So CUT IT OUT! :eek: :D :D

[km gresham]

Sorry to disappoint, MM, but I've made it a point for the last 25 years to AVOID Irmo during the Okra strut! I think the thing needs to be move to Augusta, Ga. I do love fried okra, but I'm just not big on crowds ;) A couple of my boys have marched in the parade with scouts and ROTC. It reminds me of the parade in "Doc Hollywood" smile.gif The mayor with his race car and his little antique cars, local politicians, children's dance schools, brownies, scouts, karate schools and a crew of moms with strollers and toddlers (I think they were "mothers against birth control" ;) )

Irmo has grown tremendously in 40 years, but the Okra Strut parade is pure small town smile.gif

I'm trying to lose weight too - well, I'm thinking about it, anyway. There's just not one thing fun about it! Gaining weight is loads of fun! Not fair. :rolleyes:

[paladin]

Yup, Karen...40 years ago I married a gal from Irmo....wurst day of my life........lasted 2 years........of hell. tongue.gif tongue.gif

[km gresham]

You picked the wrong girl, Paladin ;) She was the only bad 'un we had :D

[ongolo]

Hi all,

You guys know nothing, its the NAMIB desert, because it has the highest sand dunes (800ft plus) in the world and I have been to top of the largest and all the higher ones with my off-road bike.

Regards Ongolo

Katey is partial to the Taklamakan in western China, which is one of the more desolate parts of the silk road, but archeologically fascinating.

PEANUT BUTTER PIE (a la Hannibal's Cafe, Union, ME)
Chocolate crumb crust.

Melt 6 oz semi sweet chocolate with 1/2 cup heavy cream and use to seal crust, saving a little bit for the top of the pie.

Cream together:
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup cream cheese
1 cup sugar

Fold in:
2 t. vanilla
1 1/2 cup heavy cream, whipped

Dump into pie crust and drizzle reserved chocolate on top. Refrigerate or you get a peanut butter puddle instead of a pie.

Katey's father is a connaisseur of peanut-butter pies and, at age 63, he declared this one to be easily the best he'd ever had. We had to beg for the recipe.

Dan & Katey

P.S. Katey's father's cholesterol is 126.

[Jim H]

Oh yeah, Pecan pie is a favorite too...

[km gresham]

Speaking of fried, anybody tried a fried twinky? I heard they were the rage a while back. Heart attack on a plate, or a stick or whatever. How bout fried ice cream?

[cs]

Fried Ice cream is great! Can't say I've had a fried twinkie and no I don't want a fried Stan. smile.gif
