What did you eat today?
I ate breakfast at Bonbonierre. I had two scrambled eggs, lovingly referred to as "large eggs" to compensate for the fact that I'm paying 4 bucks for them just because it's in the West Village, whole wheat toast, home fries, and an iced coffee. I also ate some ginger cookies intermittently in my sleep this morning. I'm a sleep-eater.
What do you never eat?
I just recently quit eating meat again, although I've been known to sneak a bite. I will always turn down angel food cake and jell-o. Too desperate.
Complete this sentence: In my refrigerator, you can always find:
I have two roommates. One of them is consistent about having left over grilled meat products, the other enjoys the fresh produce. I will sometimes contribute an avocado, a vine ripened tomato, and cream cheese. Hummus and tortilla chips are also a staple of mine.
What is your favorite kitchen item?
Tool: this is so anti foodie, but i have to say the microwave. Although I've never owned one and would never buy one, whenever I have access to a microwave I feel drunk with possibilities.
Foodish Item: E.V.O.O. [I can't believe you're using that acronym on my blog. -- Ed.]
Where do you eat out most frequently?
Shift meals at Diner in Williamsburg. Amazing! Black beans, yellow rice and fried plantains at La Conquita on Lafayette.
World ends tomorrow: What would you like for your last meal?
Cheddar cheese flavored Combos and a Snickers ice cream candy bar.
He's not kidding about the Combos. Visit Robert at New York Squared.
Ganda: You could have exercised your right as editor to spell out the EVOO abbreviation.
EE VEE OH OH!

Honey, are you trying to out me? You know I'm just a jealous hater and wish I had her job.
