What did you eat today?
For breakfast, as always, I had a bowl of Total Whole Grain cereal (the blue box) and 1% lowfat milk.
For lunch, I had leftovers (goat curry) from a meal at a newish restaurant, Colors.
For dinner, I had a Mystical Frisco chicken burrito with no sour cream on a spinach tortilla from Burritoville. Normally, my wife cooks on Sunday, but she was busy this time around.
What do you never eat?
Cottage cheese. It’s hard for me to even write the words.
Complete this sentence: In my refrigerator, you can always find:
Milk, Tropicana orange-tangerine juice, baby carrots, and jars of jams and jellies from a comparative taste test I conducted for Every Day with Rachael Ray magazine.
What is your favorite kitchen item?
The most essential item is my Capresso coffeemaker. My most cherished item is a Bazooka bubblegum mug I’ve had for decades. And my favorite new acquisition is a seriously sharp Furi Gusto-Grip knife.
Where do you eat out most frequently?
It’s my job to visit as many new restaurants as I can in a given week, so I try to avoid going back to the same old places. That said, my wife and I order in from Doyer’s Vietnamese and Café Habana when we are too busy, or tired, to cook.
World ends tomorrow. What would you like for your last meal?
Gee, I’d like to take my wife Dorothy to Per Se. She’s never been. The only other contender: Dorothy’s Polish matzo ball soup. And cheesecake for dessert.

isn't that a Rachel Ray Furi knife?
I don't doubt that it's any good - I just have a problem with celebrity chefs putting their names all over goods ala Emeril, Bobby Flay, Rachel etc.
Although - I've never used it so it could be a great buy.
