Best meal I ever ate:

When I was pregnant with my twins my husband brought home a burlap bag full of fresh mussels. I put my toddler down for a nap and we spent 2 hours eating mussels, with butter, lemon juice, pepper and home-made bread. It's a wonder my babies weren't born with shells!

My current drink of choice:

Diet tonic water and fresh lime juice

I really wish I could:

make pie crust -- you have to cut mine with a chisel.

My "Go-to" dinner party dish:

Smoked cod pate if I have to bring something somewhere, otherwise a rich beef or lamb stew.

My favorite comfort food:

Miss Vicki's potato chips and Kraft onion and chive cream cheese dip

My most tattered cookbooks:

Joy of Cooking -- used it for everything from basic recipes to science fair projects. My copy is about 25 years old.
