Thanks for the suggestions! I'm not supposed to have any sugar because of my decay problems so I can't have icecream, but the starbucks coffe is a great idea, especially with tons of whole milk. Pancakes can work for me if I cut it up then suck on them. Pasta is also a great idea, I think I'll make some pastina(sp) tonight with extra butter. I feel like I was blessed with everything in life except good teeth, lol.
