What did you eat today?
Started the day off late with a sandwich-toasted rye, Calabrese ham, Genoa salami, American cheese, Prosciutto, mayo and mustard with some diet green tea. Lunch- my homemade chicken noodle soup-leftover. Dinner- 2 chicken tacos from The Great Burrito on Amsterdam. Dessert – Ben & Jerry's Strawberry Kiwi Swirl, ironically enough as I watched WORKOUT on Bravo…
What do you never eat? Bananas and milk (straight up)- I am all about texture, and both of these make me gag…
Complete this sentence: In my refrigerator, you can always find:
garlic, cilantro, lemon, lime, and parmigiano reggiano.
What is your favorite kitchen item?
My Kitchenaid Garlic Press, my mom tries to take it with her to Miami every time she visits. She bought one, but we can't seem to find another Kitchenaid one.
Where do you eat out most frequently?
Yama, on Irving, there is usually a wait and I eat there so often the host brings a chair from downstairs and adds it to the sushi bar. Shake Shack, I can't believe I worked right next to this place for 4 months and thought it was some wack park food place. Thanks to my friends at Chikalicious, and my friend, Andre, they have shown me the light. Now, I take all my out of town friends. Chikalicious. I have been going there since they opened. I love this place. It makes me feel like a little girl at a tea party (ok, an upscale tea party…). Must try the iced coffee (light with their simple syrup). Lastly, Di Fara's another place, I discovered after I moved out of Brooklyn. I get my nails done in Brooklyn (will travel for a good manicure…) and now I go visit Dom Demarco, it is so worth the wait, just not when its 101 degrees outside. It is also a great place to practice patience…….If you've never been look at it as art and not as your typical pizza place. In Miami, Steve's Pizza. Their sauce is sweeter than most. Di Piazza Pizzeria in Hialeah. Not only is their food great but they have the best garlic knots you will ever taste. Many special moments have been celebrated at this restaurant. It is typical Sicilian Italian, in the middle of a predominantly Cuban neighborhood.
World ends tomorrow. What would you like for your last meal?
My mom's coconut rice, potato salad, and stuffed beef. She is a great cook, and this is her special occasion typical Colombian meal. Many flock to her house on Christmas to enjoy this meal.
strawberry kiwi swirl?!?!? they have that?
