- If you were a food, what would you be? Something creamy, but with texture, bite, and a whisper of sweetness. Ginger ice cream. Or pumpkin risotto with aged asiago, toasted pumpkin seeds, and crisp fried sage (with a tiny bit of cayenne in there). Or, going back to the ginger theme, a 3-variety ginger cookie with white pepper.
- One memorable meal. I had too many, apparently, and Blogger nipped them out. Let's just say there have been many, many.
- What is your favorite comfort food from childhood? Macaroni and cheese. Guacamole. Really.
- When going to a church potluck, what one recipe from your kitchen is sure to be a hit? Fritatta.
- What's the strangest thing you ever willingly ate? I don't eat meat, so that lets a lot of the truly unfamiliar stuff out. But on that theme: Beautifully grilled fresh salmon, prepared by dear friends who didn't equate salmon with meat and whose love outweighed my morals.
How much money can I spend? What's the meal? Drink depends on the meal. Generally? Sparkling. Or a Manhattan. Ideally? A white from the hands of wine artist Didier Dagueneau.

my mouth is watering at your pumpkin risotto description- yum...
great play!
I'm with Sally drooling over the pumpkin risotto. That sounds delish.
What is a Fritatta?
a wine artist, oh my, love that description...so true of the good kind...
Funny how some people think fish isn't meat :)
Guacamole, really?
Wyldthing: Fritatta is a kind of baked omelet. In this case, it's done in a cast iron skillet to start, then finishes in the oven.
Mompriest: Dagueneau is, too. Amazing wines.
Songbird: I grew up in Southern California. My mother and I would clean on Saturday morning, then have either homemade tacos or guacamole and chips for lunch. I think it's something about the creamy and oily texture that does it -- my version of comfort ice cream, I guess!
Oddly enough, guacamole is a comfort food to me now, even though I never had it growing up.
The risotto sounds fab! Wonderful self-image!
