What to serve with Salted Caramel Ice Cream?

I'm having some family visit this weekend, and I made Chow's Salted Caramel Ice Cream for dessert one night. It is delicious, but I feel like I should have something with it - a simple cookie, maybe - nothing fancy. Something crunchy to go with the smooth, creamy ice cream. But I can't decide what flavor would go best.

I was thinking a simple chocolate cookie, or a shortbread? What would you do?

Yeah, you can't beat Jeni's ... that might be the deciding factor!

Thanks for the ideas. As I was thinking, it seems the best way to get good but not super-expensive food is to go Italian. I've been to Banana Bean for brunch but not for dinner - might be worth checking out. Too bad it's not in a nicer area!!!

I'm trying to decide on a good place in Columbus for a birthday dinner for a group of around 10 or so. Hoping for good food, good drinks, and good atmosphere, but at a place where most entrees would be under $20 (this is a group of graduate students!)

When I try searching for good places in Columbus, the usual very expensive options always come up. I am into any type of food, in the central Columbus or north/northeast area.

Thanks!

Everyday Desserts

Hi all,

I'm trying to come up with some new ideas for everyday desserts. After dinner I want something sweet, something more dessert-y than plain fruit but that I won't feel too bad about eating every day. Of course the foodie in me wants it to be interesting, too.

What are your favorite not-TOO-unhealthy treats? It would be great if they're either simple to put together or can be made ahead in a batch of several servings.
