About: I love food, but I might love thinking, writing and talking about food more. I'm totally fascinated by the role that food plays in our lives, in cultures, in the media, in pop culture...in whatever, really.

Favorite foods: ginger, avocado, goat cheese, onion soup, angel food cake, anything involving crab and/or Old Bay, oysters, many many more

Last bite on earth: Angel food cake with fluffy pink marshmallow frosting. To remind me of every birthday I've had since I was old enough to make a cake request.

Black jelly beans - I can't eat enough of them.

Also, and this is actually so gross, Russell Stover's eggs - the pink ones with the pink filling. Just thinking about them gives me cavities.

Essentials: Ina Garten's Mac & Cheese

This IS a great recipe. A friend made it for her son's 1st birthday party...the grownups were all over it.

But the kids - all under 2 - all kind of hated it. Too fancy, I guess. But that just meant more for me...

And, Longj - I can't count the hours I've spent grating gruyere! Seems like every recipe I really love requires at least 2 cups of it. Exhausting!

Trader Joe's Torture: What one thing do you have to buy?

I've seen so many of my favorites listed above - the orange muscat vinegar and triple ginger snaps definitely.

But if I had to give up TJ's except for one thing, I'd pick the honey sesame cashews. They are SO bad for you, yet SO good.

No matter how many fancy foods I cook for a party, those nuts are the biggest hit. Always.

They have cheap brie and those 100 calorie chocolate bars. Also, the dried fruit and veggie chips. Oh! There's also almond milk, trail mix, spinach pies when I'm too lazy to make my own...

As a "chocolaholic" I love chocolate "eggs" - but I also look forward to our traditional Rack of Lamb, Rutabega, and Asparagus. Can't wait!
