Best meal I ever ate:

At Tea House, Bono's restaurant in Dublin. He stole the chef from a restaurant in London. The food was so good I felt like I'd been drugged! Started with a mushroom lasagna (mushroom-infused sauce, no tomato). Main course was sea bass with a side of spinach, onions and beets (things I usually never eat but they were amazing here). For dessert there was a choice between a trio of chocolate desserts and a trio of apple ones. I couldn't decide so I got both! :)

My current drink of choice:

Homemade sangria

I really wish I could:

Have more kitchen awareness and be better at cooking without relying on recipes.

My "Go-to" dinner party dish:

Spanish theme: Gambas al Ajillo over rice with a side of sauteed spinach, raisins and pine nuts.

My favorite comfort food:

No question - Mac and cheese...with cheeseburger & fries coming in a very close second.

My top 5 favorite restaurants:

Always changing.

My most tattered cookbooks:

My 3-ring binder with plastic protector pages - I tear out recipes from magazines or print out from the Web and put them in there.
