From a regularly grocery store dairy aisle, I love those little (or larger!) containers of Kozi Rice pudding. In frozen foods, it's Amy's Organic Palaak Paneer (spinach and cheese and Indian spices). I crave a weekly visit to my favorite Japanese restaurant for their Sashimi - besides fish (like salmon, tuna, whitefish) it has apples and avocados and a variety of lettuce. Alternatively, I'll go to a favorite Chinese restaurant for lemon scallops with brown rice and wok-seared mushrooms.

I can have it with cereal, cookies, apple pie, Italian Food....I need to have it with every dinner. I rtied the soy sstuff and it is too sweet. I also tried other non-dairy products they all tasted "off". So for me, pour me a cool glass of MILK, please. Skim "cows" Milk: straight from the fridge.
