Is there life without a microwave?
Yup. I use it to heat up water for tea. That's it.
And only cause my roommate "needs" one. If it were my choice I'd just have a kettle.

The restaurant I work at wouldn't do it : (

Raw foods- what does that mean??
Raw is made up of Vegetables, Leafy Greens (which is a vegetable lol but it is a HUGE component), Fruits, Raw Nuts, Raw Seeds, and some people do sprouted grains. Personally... I agree with Charm City... go with the salad. I tried the Raw diet for a while. I really agree with it... it just didn't agree with me. It is a very intense diet and not something I could stick to.
But with that said... get in your greens! And eat a lot of raw veggies. They're tasty, portable, and good for you too.

The restaurant I work at wouldn't do it : (
Cook the Book: The Sweet Melissa Baking Book
Vanilla Ice cream with peanut butter, granola, and dark chocolate chunks.
Copying a good idea - Will be in Philadelphia next week
The White Dog Cafe in University City and Fork in Old City. Bangin' food.
Pat's or Gino's for cheesesteaks.
Reading Terminal Market or Di Bruno Brother's for shopping.
Morning Glory Diner or Creperie Beaumonde for breakfast.
Buddhakan (or any Steven Starr restaurant for that matter) for high end.
If you could only have 3 cookbooks...
Alice Waters- The Art of Simple Cooking
Mollie Katzen- the Mooseword Cookbook
Tie between: Jamie Oliver- Jamie's Italy and Mario Batali- Molto Italiano and Charlie Trotter- Raw
Have you inherited your parents' eating habits?
Definitely not. I did inherit my Mother's deep love of eating out, but other than that...nada. They are both meat and potato eaters, and I am most definitely not. I've been dabbling in Veganism and Raw Foodism. They have no idea what's going on!
What do you do with grapefruit?
grapefruit and avocado salad!
Favorite methods to learn daily home cooking?
Watch Food Network, read an Everyday With Rachael Ray magazine (it's cheaper than a cookbook) and buy Mark Bittman's How To Cook Everything.
You'll be cooking in no time.
What do you love to cook, but can't stand to eat?
Fried Giblets.
Blech. And Orange Beets/Roasted Beets. Blech squared.
What’s your favorite quick fix dinner?
Hmm... probably oatmeal. Mixed with anything ; )
What little food "luxuries" do you allow yourself?
I try to buy most of my food from a gourmet grocery store that I really love. And I always buy good cheese and good coffee. No Maxwell House for me!
What are your weirdest grab snacks?What's a grab snack?
Bread with Earth Balance, Cinnamon, and Agave Nectar.
And apples with any kind of cheese...but Bleu Cheese in particular. I always eat it together, and everytime I wonder why I do it.
What SMELLS better than it tastes?
Hahaha
Truer words have never been spoken Christina. I have to agree with the Vanilla. But also Bacon. I'm not a pig person, so I always think it smells great but I don't remotely enjoy eating it.
What Would You Make To Help a Family Through a Tough Time?
I would've said lasagna as well. Cookies are always welcome because families in need tend to get a lot of food food. But a big container of soup or stew is great too. Along with chili and bean based dishes.
Snickers Satisfies Your Caffeine Addiciton
But why? I don't understand why?
I mean, Chocolate already has caffeine in it.
Best TV Chef? Worst TV Chef?
Actually Sandra Lee is a chef. She graduated from Le Cordon Bleu.
Just a tidbit there.
Best places to eat in New York City
Oh! And I forgot to mention that if we went to Gramercy or Union Square Cafe, we'd dine in the Tavern.
Best places to eat in New York City
Hmm...I guess I'd say that I want to stay around Greenwich or so. Union Sq Park area. I'm not really feeling Asian cuisine however.
I think that I am going to try The Spotted Pig for lunch. I still need a place for dinner though.
So far the Batali restaurants have gone over well?
What's your favorite type of apple?
Any kind of Apple with any kind of topping. Particularly Braeburn with either Peanut Butter or Cheese.
What's your favorite soup?
I LOVE any kind of Pureed Vegetable soup. Hella good.
And ditto on the Minestrone.
A Loss of Taste
Sweet. Maybe then I'd lose some extra pounds ; )
My favorite cold cereal is _____
Either homemade granola, Peanut Butter Puffins, or the Whole Foods Golden Flax flakes.
I always eat granola or the flax flakes with yogurt too!
Biggest food-related pet peeve?
Mine...
You CANNOT have tomato carpaccio.
CANNOT.

What bread makes the best toast?
CROISSANTS CROISSANTS CROISSANTS so yummy!
How do you make the perfect mashed potatoes?
My daughter has discovered Yukon Golds so we use those now, but usually we use russets. Cut them in half and bring to a boil in salted water. When done, drain, remove to a plate, and turn heat down to low. Place each half of potato into a ricer (cut side down), and squeeze the potato into the cooking pot on low. After all the potatoes have been riced, keep sitrring until the bottom of the pot begins to get a thin layer of stuck potato. Add butter (and cheese if using), mix together then add the salt, pepper and milk.
The trick of driying out the potatoes in a low heat pan is from Julia Child.
Yukon Gold or Russet
Unsalted Butter
Whole Milk
Kosher Salt and Black pepper
Optional:
Goat Cheese, Feta, Parmesan, Roasted Garlic

I just created a blog, it is at www.nosaladforme.com. My blog is about helping out new vegetarians and sharing QUICK and EASY vegetarian recipes, most of the recipes I post will only have a few ingredients so that you can make them without having to run to the grocery store every night. I plan on listing many recipes along with my blog. I only have one entry up right now, but expect to see something new weekly!

If you're not necessarily interested in cooking the food yourself http://www.veggiebrothers.com has vegetarian and vegan meals that can be delivered anywhere in the U.S.!
Best TV Chef? Worst TV Chef?
I miss "Microwave Master" with Donovan Jon Fandre, "Capril's Kitchen" with Caprile Pence, "Cooking Monday Through Friday" with Michelle Urvater and "Sunshine Cuisine" with Jean-Pierre Brehier.
As far as the worst, I would rather watch the chef on "The Muppet Show" than Alton Brown. David Rosengarten was so much more professional and didn't rely on forced humor.

Aunt Millie's is large commercial bakery in IN so I only discovered it after moving here, but they make a loaf called Indian Grains and it makes great toast.
