Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Zingerman's Praise the Lard Gift Box
My favorite pork memory is discovering how good Spanish hams can be on a trip through Spain in 2001. I loved all the tapas bars with hams hanging from the ceilings.

Holiday Giveaway: Zingerman's Praise the Lard Gift Box
Well, I have a few. The first would be visiting my grandfather's pig farm when I was a kid. We never saw them do any slaughtering but I do remember I loved seeing all the baby pigs. For a pork-eating memory, I'd have to go with traveling through Spain in 2001 and tasting jamon iberico for the first time, and seeing all the hams hanging from the ceilings of tapas bars - complete with a little cup to catch any drippings as they aged.
Cook the Book: 'A16 Food + Wine'
I don't remember the specific wine, but it was my introduction to Rhone wines at the now defunct restaurant Avenue 9 in San Francisco. Their regular wine dinners in the late 1990s encouraged my husband and I to try many new varietals and move out of a chardonnay and pinot noir rut.
Fried Okra -- Give it some serious love!
I love it! I do make it at home when I can find it, which is not all that often in NYC unless I go to the Indian markets in Queens. I only make it fried occasionally, more often I just saute it with some cajun seasoning, or make it in an Indian preparation.

Le Fooding D'Amour - who's going?
Friday was good...the line was really long. We got there at 7 and the line had wrapped almost 360 degrees around the building. We got inside at around 8 and there were more lines to wait in of course. BUT, the food was good. Right away they gave you cheese and bread to munch on while waiting for food. We had the Bo Ssam (delicious as usual), a satisfying soup with tapioca (the cheese casserole from Yves Camdeborde was not served, mysteriously), the pork rib (yum), the chicken necks from Wylie (disappointing), sirloin steak (small serving, but quite tender), and three drinks (the mixed drink tasted like cough syrup). My main complaint was that the grass was soaking wet and muddy - so wear shoes with rubber soles. The music was good, the crowd was fun (NY foodies galore) and though the wait for the ice cream was long, it was tasty, plus we met funny people and had a good time chatting with them. So all in all it was a great event, even though $30 for 3 small drinks is a huge rip-off, even in NYC. Have fun tonight!

Cook the Book: 'Tacos'
We were visiting the West Coast when we first came across Fish Tacos. Being from the Midwest (and this was a long time ago) we'd never heard of them and were quite leery of trying them. After some serious nudging from local friends, we broke down and gave them a try - and WOW! We've been practically addicted ever since!
