Does anyone have the recipe for "Italarina"? I lost it about 30 years ago. It was a casserole dish that included noodles, ground beef, corn and Tillamook cheese. I found it in a Roseburg, Ore., newspaper.

• Salad, especially dressing: I was wondering if anyone had the recipe for Tower Café's Chinese chicken salad. I'm especially interested in the dressing. Thanks so much.

• Appetizer made impression: We had a wonderful dinner at Latitudes restaurant in Auburn.

We had a lovely meal, but one dish stood out among the rest, the appetizer risotto-stuffed peppers. It consisted of a roasted red bell pepper filled with a mushroom-and-cheese risotto, topped with a tomato-garlic sauce. I would love to have this recipe, or one similar. Thank you.
