rice and beans, for starters. the list goes on from there...

milk

still a lightly toasted sesame bagel from ess-a-bagel, with cream cheese, nova, fresh tomato and red onion

Good chocolate - can be either dark or milk!

Favorite? Not having eaten any red meat for 30 years (half of that time no meat at all, including fish and fowl), there are countless favorite veggie meals. I'd have to echo an earlier comment - any meal where others share and nobody, including the most carnivorous, "miss" the meat.

Is stuffing a side dish? Hmm, maybe it's the brussels sprouts. Or the cranberry relish (raw cranberries and orange peels are the main ingredients). I think it's the total package - the turkey plus everything else. Boy do I love this holiday!

Just doesn't taste as good unless it's in the bird!

we usually put it on the window sill to dry out, forget about it, then throw it away in a week...

Still dark...

Most definitely my wife - who will likely get more out of the book than I will. She grew up in Portugal and Nicaragua, with Japanese parents - so our meals are truly international. In addition, she came to the US for college near Moosewood, and we've been in California for the past ten years, so there's that influence as well.

The only downside is that I rarely cook - I can't hold a candle to her innate and learned cooking skills...

Luckily for me, there are many healthy things that I thoroughly enjoy. If I had to pick one at the moment, it would be my morning bowl of oatmeal - usually eaten with a pile of fresh berries, a sprinkling of wheat germ, and a drizzle of maple syrup. Yum.
