I adore Fortnum and Mason Queen Anne tea---I lived off it for months when I was in England...and now they ship! Sigh, time to buy.

@Jennifer Segal must be a mind reader because at work today I was googling "Recipes with pancetta and kale"

Thank you!

Also, @Pavlov....I grew up a town over from Portsmouth, and the liquor store parking lot is ALWAYS where you meet someone.

1) Trader Joe's Masala burger---with a little yogurt sauce, and a salad. It's no beef burger, but it makes a tasty dinner.

2) I have yet to venture into homemade veggie burger making (Hm...perhaps a 2012 resolution!?)

3) Four Napkin's veggie burger--it actually tastes like vegetables, not processed soy!

I always make Cioppino and homemade bread for Christmas eve.

As a kid, my dad used to swim off the beach in Alexandria, Egypt and eat sea urchin on the beach with a squeeze of lemon.

Years later, he horrified my sister and I as he did the same on a family vacation in Mallorca. Now that I'm a little more mature, and my palate is a little more adventurous I'd love to join him on an urchin swim.

The past few years, I've taken on the responsibility of cooking the meal for ~12ish family members. One of my struggles has been timing and making sure everything is hot at the table, with only 1 oven and 4 burners.

I'd like to see a how-to organize cooking the meal. The food is always tasty, but I'd like to avoid the last minute stress!

When my mom was in the hospital a few years ago, one of the best gifts a friend brought was a tray of sliced fresh fruit. We'd been eating take out and vending machine food and it felt good to get in some healthy eats.

If I'm at a nice restaurant...no.

Sandwich shop/ casual restaurant/ my favorite breakfast spot in the world? I'll get dressings on the side occasionally, or at my breakfast place, they'll basically customize anything which is always nice.

I've been craving pork. Maybe chops or a loin with sauteed apples and kale with some raisins and walnuts.

I love Shipyard Pumpkinhead. Tried Southhampton Pumpkin Ale last night and it was far too sweet and spiced and overpowering.

I can't speak to the TwoBuck Chuck, but they carry a Vinho Verde that I a little obsessed with 3.99 a bottle and its a little sweet and a touch sparkly. I'm not normally a white drinker, but I'm in love.

The real question is will the mysterious Will Gordon reveal himself so that we can have an SE meetup at said bar?!
