5 Second Rule

I drink one of my own lattes, double shot, every single morning. And if I don't, I find myself wishing I had. No one else makes it as well as I do. For so little money. I have been know to travel with my espresso machine..

I drink a strong, bracing cuppa, usually Russian Caravan. It will put hair on your chest!!! And if I don't, I spend the rest of the day careening around, lurching from here to there, my head as empty as a shopping cart when you first enter the grocery store.

Oh, I just couldn't accept your veal salad. Though it sounds, um, interesting. And I do intend to make something from French Laundry someday :) I'll let you know when I do!

I can't figure out how to use cookbooks... I turn to epicurious instead, or Cook's Illustrated. I have a bunch of 'best of bon appetite' books that my thoughtful husband bought for me. Never used them.

I'm laughing really hard at this exchange right now...

My grandfather said that Galitizianas were all horse thieves. My grandmother said that all Litvaks were bums. I'm half and half. I guess that says a lot about who I am.

In a little cafe in Paris, with a chocolate croissant for breakfast desert and a latte.

Yes. I prefer eggs that are prepared vs. unprepared.

Please tell us when the book signing event is!

Thank you, everyone!!

I make a BBQ sauce that starts out with garlic cloves, cumin seed, coriander seeds and hot peppers simmered in molasses and honey. I call it Cajun caramel and, while I have yet to burn myself on it, I know it's coming.

When I was a little girl, my mom took me to a Christmas party at my grandmother's house. There were so many bib people around that I didn't know. My mom told me I could have one piece of candy. I am very impetuous by nature, so I quickly stole up to the bowl and snatched out a piece. By the time I got back to my mother's side, I discovered that... Read More I had selected HOMEMADE candy in WAXED PAPER. Ugh! But then . . . soft, chewy, buttery . . . this is not BRACH'S! Now I make caramel candy every year at Christmas. People hoard it. And YES, I have one nasty burn scar on the first knuckle of my right hand. It was red for years.

I reminded of my big hair and "Flash Dance" sweatshirt. Ah, young love!

I seriously didn't think I'd see the phrase "wicked hot" in the same sentence with the name "Kevin," but he's my favorite, too. I love that his eyes get all teary every time he wins something.

He also makes me think of Fozzy Bear.

I agree with the brothers and kevin and jen, but things are unpredictable. I think one of the brothers is going to make a mistake, jen's going to have a nervous breakdown, and eli will make the final 3. he's worked with blais, he's underestimated.

yum

You said "noshes." Heh heh.

I heard her on NPR the other night; she needs a speaking coach. Every other word was and, um
