with mozzarella on some good Italian bread!

eggs cooking. gives me the dry heaves.

orangette, thekitchn, pioneer woman, smitten kitchen...

The mexican truck on 6th and 10th (maybe a little lower) in nyc...good old chicken and rice carts all over nyc...the waffle truck, too!

spread on slices of baguettes and lightly toasted, then served on a salad made with mixed greens, lardons (or cooked small chunks of pancetta in the US) and walnuts.

sirrix, that's a very popular combination in middle eastern cooking (Italian too, minus the cilantro)

I eat 2-3 a week, sometimes more. I'm trying to lose weight, but I tend to disregard the extra fat grams on avocado days! I'm down 14 pounds in a month, so it doesn't seem to be hurting my progress. One of my favorites is to spread the avocado on a jalapeno english muffin from Wolferman's. So so good. Also love to take Trader Joe's Reduced Guilt tortilla chips, put some in a bowl, then add some refried black beans a fried egg and a sliced half of an avocado. So so good.

This is one of my pet peeves. My partner and mother-in-law (who lives with us) but have a habit of telling me "oh, so and so might drop by" as I'm cooking dinner. First of all--I wish I knew earlier. Second of all...might??!? Come on! It's rude. My partner has gotten a bit better about it. If I have enough of what I'm cooking--and I usually do--they can have some, but if I don't, they are SOL.

You guys must smoke a loooot of pot.

A lot of the best food is in Virginia or Maryland! But, a visit to the wharf will be nice in summer; it's near L'enfant plaza. I don't know why more tourists don't go there. Good prices and some of the food is really really good; I loooove the fried shrimp at the first place on the left as you enter. They usually have someone giving out free samples of it, really good.

I second Ray's Hellburger in Arlington; one of my all time best burgers.

Ben's Chili Bowl isn't as good as it used to be (IMHO), but still definitely worth a visit for the history.

Gus'!!!!!!!! OMG SO GOOD.

Does it have to be an ingrediant, or can it be actual dishes? I'm going to go with dishes:

1. eggplant parmiggiano
2. pizza
3. baingan bhartha
4. cannoli
5. pad thai
6. cheese
7. really good baguette
8. burritos
9. pork--in any preparation!
10. channa masala

I bought thin mints (which, yes, will promptly go into the freezer, and probably eaten within two days) and samoa's already. Just one box of samoas, they're ADDICTING and I will plow through the whole thing within minutes. omg so good.
