Cook the Book: Margaritas, Mojitos, & More

My fave is maraschino cherries, which goes way back to when I first started dating. (Didn't have all these fancy drinks then, so a cherry was way cool.) A close second is lime.

Cook the Book: 'Mario Batali Italian Grill'

I like to try all kinds of marinades, but a favorite easy one we often use is olive oil, soy sauce, citrus juice (a fresh lemon or lime, squeezed), and crushed garlic. Yum!

Cook the Book: The Oprah Magazine Cookbook

Oprah would be my choice of talk-show host to dine with. I'd love to hear about her philanthropy and all she's seen and done. I'd typically pick lunch, but since I'd want it to last I'll choose a fine dinner (maybe one by Bobby Flay?).

Cook the Book: The River Cottage Cookbook

I grow tomatoes and jalapenos in my now-small garden pots. I also have herbs in two large pots outside the deck; most are perennials which is great!

Like many others here, I cook extra portions and individually wrap them for easy reheating.
