Food & Drink - 28 January 2007

I'm like an advanced beginner when it comes to cooking. I need ideas that are not too complicated, with prep time up to an hour (not counting baking time if applicable).

The facts:
My husband and I are both trying to lose weight.
I'm lactose intolerant, and I dislike most veggies.
I like salads, but not with onions/tomato.
My stomach gets upset when I eat some non-lactose things. I think I may be sensitive to tomatoes. (No meatloaf, tomato-based pasta sauce, cheese-less pizzas, bbq sauce...)

I hate to punish my husband for my weak stomach, so suggestions of things I can easily modify would be great- a non-tomato, non-milk, non-veggie alternative for me and one with all of the above for him without cooking two separate meals?

I can only take so much chicken salad!

I'm getting very discouraged about this cooking at home thing.

Recipes not necessary but welcome, mostly just need dish ideas. Need to pack his lunch for work, I eat lunch at home, and cook dinner for two.

It had an ice cream surrounding like Happy feet but the centre was a lovely soft gooey caramel toffee - you needed to scarap it off the lolly stick - this would have been early-mid '70's. Any ideas. It might have been banana flavour but I might be confusing the taste with Toffo sweets

My Fiance and I went to a wonderful little Indian place in the town where we live, and this was only the second or third time I've been to an Indian food place. I'm not entirely sure how to eat the food because there are so many different dishes! I don't want to muddle the flavor, or combine things that aren't meant to be combined. We got three dishes with different sauces, one was green and spicy (chutney?) one was red, and had onions I think, and the other was dark brown and vaguely sweet. Our main dishes were a red-skinned chicken, a curry chicken dish, and a dish that was similar to the chicken dish, except with Tofu. We also had a flat bread of some sort, and a sort of vegetable fritter (which came first as the appetizer), and of course we had a nice plate of communal rice. Can someone tell what the best way to eat this combination would have been? What should go with what, how should I eat it (place it on rice? Mix with other things?), and are there any customs I should follow?

Anyone remember the famous banner about Joey Jones which said something like 'Joey Ate Frogs Legs, Made The Swiss Roll, Now He's Munching Gladbach'

So what does Gladbach taste like?

I am making chili cheese fries for 20 people but with their appetites it is more like 27 people. I am planning this for my sons 2nd birthday party as the meal. How much would you think I would need to buy of each thing to have enough? Anyone use other stuff on their chili cheese fries other than chili, fries, and cheese?

I put it in foil, then in a tupperware box, but sometimes the place still reeks of cheese (Camembert, Brie) - any suggestions welcome.

Also, they boast of "less than one calorie", so why have even that little amount?

And lastly, they say it is harmful for kids, so is it less harmful for adults too? What content makes it harmful?

Does anybody remember a wafer cookie shaped like a whole peanut (the shell part) that was filled with a sweet peanut butter cream?? It was a whole cookie, not a sandwich cookie like nutterbutters.
