Lady Lunchalot

Today I realised that I am developing a bit of a dependency on the cafe downstairs from my office that stocks milk chocolate chunk cookies from the Byron Bay Cookie Company. I love those cookies, and it got me thinking about the different foods that I just can’t get enough of. You know, those foods that you could keep on eating until you think you are going to explode.

After much thought (and a slow afternoon at work), here’s ten that came to mind. Leave a comment and let me know what items you just can’t get enough of:

1. Pavlova with a really crunchy crust and lots of marshmallowy goodness in the middle. Must have passionfruit.
2. A perfectly ripe washed rind cheese. I buy myself an embarrassingly large hunk every Christmas from the Cheese Room at the Richmond Hill Cafe and Larder.
3. Pretty much any kind of pasta. Spaghetti Marinara. Fettucine al Funghi. Penne Matriciana. Lasagne. Or (now that I think of it) any combination of pasta, bolognese and bechamel. It all makes me feel so happy!
4. Home made chocolate cake with sinfully thick chocolate icing and a glass of cold milk.
5. Fresh prawns with a squeeze of lemon eaten on the beach
6. A piping hot parma, with chips, a crunchy crust, dripping with cheese and napoli
7. Chicken. Barbecued chicken. Stir-fried chicken. Roast chicken. Chicken casserole. Chicken soup. You get the idea.
8. Panacotta gelati from Manarola, Italy. When I was there a few years ago I actually changed hotels to be closer to this particular gelateria. I won’t tell you how many I had.
9. Mandarins when they are in season (Like right now! I’ll eat them one after the other like lollies!)
10. Thick slices of pasta dura bread still warm from the oven smeared with so much butter that it looks like a cheese sandwich.
