Favorite Food

What's your favorite kind of food? What's your favorite fast food restaurant? What's your favorite recipe? Shenna, I want the recipe for date balls!

MY favorite kind of food is Italian. My favorite fast food restaurant is Panda Express. My favorite recipe is a cake (that is to DIE for). It is NOT low calorie. A lady at work actually invented it. Here it is:

BETTY'S RUM CAKE

CAKE
1 cup chopped pecans
1 Duncan Hines Butter cake mix (white or yellow is okay too)
1 small box instant Vanilla Pudding mix
3/4 cup cold water
1/4 cup rum
4 eggs
1/2 cup corn oil (or vegetable oil)
1 tsp. Vanilla

GLAZE
1 stick butter or margarine
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup rum

To prepare cake. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease & flour bundt pand and sprinkle nuts over bottom. Put all other ingredients together and mix on slow until mixed, then mix 4 minutes. Pour batter over pecans in bundt pan and bake for 1 hour or until toothpick comes out clean. Invert and drizzle glaze over warm cake while still in the pan.

To prepare glaze, put all ingredients in pan and boil 5 minutes, stirring often. Remove from heat and pour over warm cake.

My favorite food is French Fries, or salad for a healthy choice.

Don't like fast food much anymore, but if I had to pick I'd pick Taco Bell (what is Panda Express?)

Hmmm, favorite recipe, I'm not a very good cook but have a few specialties. I love making cheesy potatoes, and for dessert, chocolate eclaire torte.
