Best meal I ever ate:

today, it is the lobster noodles I made for dinner - umami-licious!

My current drink of choice:

hendricks martini, not too dry, one big olive of decent quality

I really wish I could:

bake bread

My "Go-to" dinner party dish:

Lasagne - homemade pasta, homemade ricotta, homemade pork ragu, homemade sausage, homemade meatballs, and good fresh mozzerella - salad of red leaf lettuce, arugula, avocado, blanched asapragus with a mustard vinaigrette. Bread - the best available, since although i can make a lot of things I can't bake bread to save my life.

My favorite comfort food:

mofongo, asopao, a farm fresh egg frizzled in olive oil, topped with sea salt, with a slice of good, honest bread (as mfk would say)

My top 5 favorite restaurants:

bacco-sf, incanto-sf, uchi-austin, alta taberna paco meralgo-bcn, burma superstar-sf, smitty's-lockhart, bin 555-san antonio

My most tattered cookbooks:

Joy, Marcella Hazan, Zuni, Jacques Pepin-especially Happy Cooking
