Degree in Culinary Arts and Restaurant Management here... I'm at a Welsh restaurant now.

Anywho, kids, particularly young women, seem to love pasta, so I agree that some good pasta dishes would be a great (and cheap) idea... perhaps even a pasta bar type thing with a few different sauces, something like that.

Personally, when I first moved away from home, I was happy with whatever I could get my hands on that was greasy, moist, and flavorful... but you're always going to have a hit with good old home-cooking.
