A Party for The Graduate

We’ll be holding a graduation party for our son mid-June and need help. We’d like to avoid the giant sub, pulled pork sandwich, and sheet cake standards in favor of something more interesting. Very flexible as to time of day and type of party, although we’re inviting close to 100 people and can’t afford to have it totally catered (college tuition looms). Ideas, Eaters?

Paris Restaurant Help!!

If I were you, I'd contact Clotilde at chocolateandzucchini.com for advice. And then -- buy a copy of her new book, "Clotilde's Edible Adventures in Paris" for your friend!

Wish I were going, too :-(

sugar cream pie

Many years ago, when I was a kid in Ohio, we used to go to the Bob Evans restaurant that was near my orthodontist's office (ouch!). It was always a treat to have dinner there, before my teeth starting aching again. The restaurant menu was more homestyle in those days, I think, with an emphasis on sausage rather than burgers. No matter what else I ate, I always ordered the sugar cream pie for dessert. It (almost) made up for the torture of the tightening bands. . .

One Trick Pony Restaurants

Pommes Frites in NYC has the best French fries (actually, they call them Belgian-style fries) imaginable. Fries -- and a bunch of sauces for dipping -- that's it. (But that's enough)

Cook the Book: Nigella Express

Gather all my ingredients together and do a mise en place before I begin cooking. Saves time when I (inevitably) realize I'm out of something and need to substitute -- or beg and borrow.

Cook the Book: 'Roast Chicken and Other Stories'

No story, but a joke:

Why did Beethoven kill his chicken?
- It kept saying ''Bach, Bach, Bach...''
