Porterhouse

25 years ago at the Regency Hotel in London, Shrimp in Pernod cooked at the table--I was 17 and it was amazing!!

When I was about 12 I helped my Mom prepare Thanksgiving dinner--while we were pulling out the vegetables and herbs that we had tucked in the cavity of the Turkey--I found something awful!!! I didn't understand what it was ---but it was very disturbing--my mother had left the bag with the neck and organs inside---I had no idea of these things ---I thought someone had put something awful in our turkey.

The classic is my favorite Pasta with fresh Parmesan, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper.

My favorite is a Coffee Creme Brulee that my husband's mother used to make--it was heaven on earth.

Defiantly Indian food --but specifically vegetarian Indian food--I'm trying to get my husband to eat less meat.

We went camping --I took the kids down to play in the water---while my husband put the steaks on the grill--when we came back from our swim my husband had decided to put the grill on top of the huge igloo plastic cooler that was filled with ice and all our other food. We smelled the toxic fumes before we could see our camp--the grill of course melted the cooler and ruined all our food---even the steaks tasted toxic------not one of my husbands best moments.
