cooking/grocery shopping/MEAL PLANNING is a lifeskill I just do not seem to have. Advice on frugal(ish) HEALTHY options?
Try the jambalya or gumbo recipes listed on hospitalitymorality.blogspot.com. You can omit the sausage if you want. Add Jiffy mix cornbreads. Other recipes on that blogsite might also help.

Thanks for being so candid. Is your experience based on ordering from the appetizer and mains menu or from the tasting menu?
wd-50 menu recommendations
I would love to read reviews of the current Wd-50 appetizer and "mains" items as I'm eating there next week with 2 foodies and 2 sceptics who are already talking about how they're not going to get enough to eat, it'll be too pretentious, etc.
What do you think of these appetizers?
1. Sunflower seed-miso soup; 2. Shrimp noodles; 3. Corned duck; 4. Eggs benedict; 5. hanger tartare; 6. Cuttlefish; 7. Aerated foie; 8. Smoked eel
These "mains"? 1. Arctic char; 2. Turbot; 3. Mediterannean bass; 4. Scallops; 5. Parsnip tart; 6. Duck breast; 7. Pork loin; 8. Lamb shoulder; or Wagyu skirt steak
Rosa Mexicano
To gyozagirl...I really appreciate your help. I printed your suggestions and although I was teased by my fellow party goers for having researched the meal, the ribbing ceased when they tasted my short ribs. I was pleased also! Good tips.
cafe divan
Thanks. Although we didn't end up going this visit, I will try to discourage my hosts from selecting this restaurant in the future.
cafe divan
I am going to Cafe Divan for a family celebration. No choice in the selection of the restaurant, so I'm not looking for reviews of the establishment...just suggestions on good apps. and meals. I don't need to be blown away. I just don't want a bad meal.
Rosa Mexicano
Thanks, gyozagirl, for giving me some candidates as I have no choice about the restaurant selection.

L'Ecole, French Culinary Institute's restaurant
I am researching the merits of dining for lunch or dinner at L'Ecole, the Restaurant of The French Culinary Institute. I would like to have a very good meal but don’t need to be dazzled—just not disappointed. Would anyone have tips for “guaranteeing” a lovely experience there?

Paris Catering
I'm trying to research Paris Catering for a wedding. The business is not offering a sample tasting session. I wonder if anyone could review this company from his or her experience.
