What did you eat today?

A large coffee w/ milk and 1 equal from Oslo. I'm so glad it was cooler this morning because I hate iced coffee and swear that it has no caffeine in it but some people think it's weird to drink hot coffee when it's 90. I also had a Blue Sky muffin. Blueberry and mango.  A calorifically delicious way to start the day.

A big bottle of Poland Spring.

For lunch I had a grilled vegetable salad with balsamic from Mocca.  Just writing about it makes me want another one.

Nature Valley granola bar, oat and honey. I have a tiny addiction.

11 almonds, unsalted.

A bowl of Pacific Foods roasted red pepper and tomato soup w/ some fresh spinach thrown in to give it that false yet wholly satisfying feeling that I cooked dinner. Accompanied by a few Carr's cracked pepper water crackers with some Emmenthaler cheese. Mmm.

What do you never eat?

Lamb.
McDonald's. Most other fast food, except for Runza and Amigos (in Nebraska)
Ice cream
Flan - ugh.
Chicken that looks remotely vein-y. Double ugh.

Complete this sentence:  In my refrigerator, you can always find:

Tamari
Seltzer
Spinach
Tofu
Amy's burritos (for emergencies)
Silk soy milk, unflavored
Vodka  [Yeah, baby.  -- Ed.]

What is your favorite kitchen item?

It's a tossup between the Scripto lighter i use to light my tiny, scary stove, and my wine key from Cakebread Cellars

Where do you eat out most frequently?

Mostly in the neighborhood - Diner, Bonita, Acqua Santa, SEA. I also tend to end up at Pastis and Schiller's a lot - it's beyond my control.

World ends tomorrow.  What would you like for your last meal?

I'd start with bacon-wrapped dates. I'd probably skip the salad unless there was some really fresh arugula around. Then I'd have Humboldt Fog with a loaf of Amy's currant bread, a veggie burrito from El Cid in Chicago, and a filet mignon from my dad's grill. To drink, a dirty Ketel One martini to start and then cabernet with the steak. And for dessert, chocolate peanut butter ice cream from Baskin-Robbins and an espresso. I don't eat ice cream, but it's the end of the world so what the heck.
