Foodie Vacation
Greece or Thailand. I did Thailand the summer before I started my PhD and luckily the boss let me out for two weeks to explore Greece last summer. Both foodie-worthy and a great treat to yourself before immersing yourself in school.

Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
my first encounter with a cookbook was in girl scouts, when we assembled our own made of all the girl's recipe. I contributed apple crisp, but to my horror, one girl's recipe was for bologna cups... bologna put in muffin cups with an egg, then bake. That sounded wretched then and and still sounds just as awful now.
strata help?
I base my stratas off of this recipe, which is amazing. Too bad about no cheese. A touch of smoked gouda in this recipe really elevates it.

This recipe calls for two layers of bread with veggies and meat in between and on top. Then you pour the milk/cream/egg mixture over and let set overnight in the fridge. Make sure there is egg/milk mixture is to make sure everything is well covered and soaked. This dish always puffs up beautifully for me, but sometimes needs some extra cook time.
Wonton Wrapper Ravioli
Funny you should ask, I just tried them for the first time this past Monday. I wanted some fresh sweet corn ravioli. I used wonton wrappers as well.
The filling was sweet corn sauteed with red pepper and roasted poblano, that was then pulsed in the food processor, and then mixed with some monterey jack cheese. I folded them so they ended up more like tortellini and just gently boiled them until they floated, probably only a few minutes. I then carefully lifted them out and put them on waxed paper spaced out a bit so they could dry a little. My sauce was a bit more corn, butter, chicken stock and some sliced up amazing mango jalapeno chicken sausage we had lying about. I popped the ravioli/tortellinis back in the sauce at then end. It was really good and the raviolis weren't too watery at all. The wonton skins do end up thinner than your traditional pasta but it didn't bother me in the slightest. I
I have another half of the package of wonton skins to make more summery ravioli... maybe fresh peas, mint and ricotta, or tomato confit and goat cheese. Hope this helps.
Cook the Book: '660 Curries' by Raghavan Iyer
I was a teenager in Milwaukee, definitely not a mecca for ethnic cuisine all those years ago, but I went to an Indian restaurant with a boyfriend and was shocked and appalled that the chicken was bright pink! Now I live in a much more diverse area with fabulous Indian food.
Snapshots from Greece: Assyrtiko Wine from Santorini
We stayed at a hotel in Santorini that was built around a 400 year old wine cave and got to do a wine tasting of Greek wines with their sommelier. It was one of the most memorable nights of my life. Absolutely amazing. I still have a bottle of Nyktheri I need to drink soon. It will be nice to see Greek wines get some more credit in the future.
Cook the Book: 'The Barcelona Cookbook'
Though I haven't been to Spain, my first trip to Cobras & Matadors in LA with BYOW, in a cozy back booth by candlelight, is quite memorable.
Cook the Book: 'Bobby Flay's Burgers, Fries & Shakes'
A Culver's ButterBurger... I'm from Wisconsin, so of course, that has to be it. With cheese, please. I didn't eat red meat for ever and ever, but this won me back.
Cook the Book: 'Modern Spice'
Persian, to make the boyfriend happy and try and impress the future in-laws. Indian or Thai to make me happy.
Cook the Book: 'Endangered Recipes' by Lari Robling
Eating sliced tomatoes right out of the garden with my dad.... sprinkled with a bit of sugar. That's a whole summer squeezed into one bite.
Cook the Book: 'Bottega Favorita' by Frank Stitt
Orechietti with sausage, garlic, roasted red pepper and some parmesan.
Cook the Book: 'Urban Italian'
Risotto made with tomatoes and sausage but with a ton of chopped fresh spinach folded in at the end. The spinach wilts and is amazing.
Cook the Book: 'Almost Meatless'
Roasted Veggies and Orzo is always good, and if we need the protein we throw in some pre-cooked chicken sausage but its great without it!
Sweet Talk with Necco Sweethearts
I love the tart ones, & one of my dear friends remembering this, bought me an entire case of them. They lasted me for months & months until I threw the remainder away. Don't think I'll be eating them again for a long time.

Oh my gosh, my mom loves these & orders them off the Internet. They just dissolve into nothing in your mouth. Oh well. She orders candy cigarettes too, which aren't all that exciting. Whatever floats your boat.
