Christmas Eve dinner at the Bishops'. Aunt JoAnn always brings fresh seafood (and lately, FRESH coconut cake), and Aunt Henrietta always makes my favorites.
My current drink of choice:
Margaritas, in infinite varieties. . .
I really wish I could:
Culinarily? Have more finesse with seafood.
My "Go-to" dinner party dish:
Pacific Rim Flank Steak from Saveur
My favorite comfort food:
Kale stew with white beans and spicy chicken sausage
My top 5 favorite restaurants:
Le Relais, Mayan Gypsy (RIP, but Mayan Cafe just reopened--Happy Birthday to Me!!), Santa Fe Grill, Thai Smile 5, Sapporo
My most tattered cookbooks:
Nick Stellino's Meditteranean Flavors, The Joy of Cooking, Express Lane Cookbook (Sarah Fritschner), Vegetarian Express Lane Cookbook (ditto)
