Eating raspberries right off the bush on the coast of Maine.

Anna Burrell, I think she would throw a fantastic party, and I bet she hosts killer parties.

Oh, chicken pot pie with a super flaky crust.

Going to a tapas bar in Barcelona with my dad and getting to drink a beer with him for the first time, it was such a fun grown up feeling. I remember eating tons of grilled octopus (like 3 plates of them)

Squash blossom tacos from my local farmers market. THE BEST!

The caviar is pretty good, really fishy smell, but I mixed it in to plain yogurt and made a dip. It was pretty good.

I was having a gourmet pizza party for my first ever book clup and was expecting about 10-15 women that evening. I woke up early to prep and get the house ready. By about 4PM I had been working for 7 hours and wanted to take a little break before my guests showed up at 6PM. So what do I do? Open a bottle of white wine an plop down by the pool which I promptly finished since I was so thirsty. Needless to say the combination of the heat, the wine, and the lack of sleep all combine to make the evening a little fuzzy. Luckily some pizzas did get made since a few friends showed up early to see if I needed help and there I sit with a fully prepped kitchen passed out by the pool. To this day when ever it's my turn to host the request is that I hold off on the wine until everyone is there and we have at least talked about the book.
