Wrapped around grilled asparagus, then wrapped in a slice of provolone with a slather of creamy horseradish sauce. Yumm!

Sonny's in Clewiston, Fl is consistently great!

Shock-a-lot Chocolate cherry ice cream and dark chocolate truffle cake together all at once with seconds...oh, yesssss!!!

Mushrooms stuffed with chopped nuts and cream and spinach souffle- are two non-traditional, but very tasty, additions to the holiday table. I also like the looks and the tastes of a big fresh fruit display: muscat grapes, murcotts or clementines, gala apples, peaches, pears and a variety of berries. That bit of natural sweetness can really refresh a palate.

Serious Eats has been my go to site for a long time...consistent quality, informed contributors, great topics. What's not to love!

Eating just one only makes me want more.

I hosted a large Opera Guild fundraiser cocktail party for a picky crowd of opera-goers and was told my hor d'oeuvres(all my own recipes) were the best of any fundraiser they'd ever had...the food was all gone, too.

Celery seed is my secret ingredient in almost everything...it adds a fresh note and people can never figure out what it is. I never remember to freeze left over fresh ginger and it hangs around the bottom of the bin until it withers to nothing but solid skin.

Rare rib eye steak with microwave Bernaise or red wine sauce, Caesar salad and oven-roasted asparagus. Ready to eat in 20 minutes tops!

Bob Blumer-
What is your latest Surreal idea for a gala party? Help me plan a fun wedding, pretty please?

Invited to the newly-weds for dinner, I went into the kitchen to help the bride get dinner on the table...imagine my surprise when I found that we had to remove the saran packaging and the plastic tray as well as the giblets still in their little paper sack when we took the bird from the oven. I explained that the bird would be tastier if she took it out of the wrappings before putting it into the oven...she said she didn't know that, she'd just followed the prep instructions on the label.

Dark chocolate truffles dipped in dark chocolate do not seem like overkill to me, so, obviously, I believe in the efficacy of dark chocolate to cure all ills. My daily intake is, of course, purely medicinal; a chocolate a day keeps the lumbago away, also the blues and the grumps.
