Best meal I ever ate:

Saag paneer, vegetable korma, naan, rice, and Vicodin, a few hours after oral surgery: I don't know if it was the drugs, the hunger, the kindness of my coddling husband who picked up the food, or the sheer jubilation of the cessation of pain, but nothing has ever tasted so good.

My current drink of choice:

coffee, champagne, or seltzer

I really wish I could:

learn to bake a light, fluffy layer cake.

My "Go-to" dinner party dish:

Nothing in particular, but if friends called and announced they were coming over in 30 minutes, I'd throw together a fritatta a la whatever's in the fridge, warming a loaf of bread, and mixing salad dressing --- then spend the remaining ten minutes picking up the books and shoes strewn around the living room.
