Best meal I ever ate:

I will let you know the day before I die.

My current drink of choice:

Death's Door gin martini

My "Go-to" dinner party dish:

Homemade lasagna - pasta made with eggs from my chickens, tomato sauce made with tomatoes from my garden (fresh or canned), greens sauted with garlic, and a mix of cheese. I roll the pasta out so thin it is impossible for pre-cook, then layer sauce, pasta, greens, pasta, and so on. It is great made ahead of time and served with a salad and fresh bread.

My favorite comfort food:

Goat cheese gouda and manchego mac and cheese or Ina Garten's chicken pot pie (though I use significantly less butter)

My top 5 favorite restaurants:

Depends on my mood - Toro, No. 9 Park, Corson Bldg (Seattle), Socarrat Paella Bar (NYC), Fugakyu, Little Q for hot pot
