Cook the Book: 'Zingerman's Guide to Better Bacon'
I love bacon because it can be the star of a recipe or a wonderful supporting flavor. It also stands alone so well, especially stolen off the cookie sheet after my fiance has oven-cooked a pound of it.

Northern New Mexico
If Roberto's is open in Taos, it has great New Mexican food. Also, for a darned good burger, Blake's Lotaburger's green chile cheeseburger makes a great picnic lunch if the weather is nice.

I have saved many of the bones and some of the skin to make stock. I'm loving the idea of Tex Mex rice.That sounds so tasty and easy. Thanks for the suggestions!
Cook the Book: 'L.A.'s Original Farmers Market Cookbook'
My favorite vendor in Savannah is probably the herb lady, but I'm also a sucker for the farm-fresh eggs of Adcote Farms!
Cook the Book: 'Rustic Fruit Desserts'
Huckleberry cobbler made from fresh huckleberries purchased at a Montana farmer's market. Blueberries will do if I'm too far away from huckleberry country, as I am most years.
Cook the Book: 'Endangered Recipes' by Lari Robling
Tomato aspic, as made by my grandmother. It was also available at a cafeteria that was a family favorite, so I could frequently get my jellied tomato goodness with a dollop of mayonnaise. I never see it out anymore, despite still living in the South, but I have made it before!
Cook the Book: Eugenia Bone's 'Well-Preserved'
To capture tomatoes at the peak of their ripeness would be delightful!
Cook the Book: 'Real Cajun'
Dipping the corner of the tortilla chip into the salsa bowl each time we went out for Tex Mex. I wanted the salsa so badly, but it was just too hot for my young taste buds. Now when I visit my father, we often have to ask for a second bowl of salsa so we don't have to fight over it!
Cook the Book: 'Food Matters: A Guide to Conscious Eating'
I've been focusing on simple meals cooked with good ingredients. Last night, it was a a simple piece of fish with sides of kale, broccoli, and potatoes. Everything was flavorful, simple to prepare, and one of the most satisfying meals I've had in a while. I enjoy trying Mark Bittman's recipes from his column and his blog.
Cook the Book: 'Almost Meatless'
Spanish tortilla de patata. Onions, potatoes, olive oil, salt, pepper, and eggs. What could be simpler? It makes a great dinner and a great sandwich when between two pieces of crusty bread.
Valentine's Night Dinner: Eating In or Out?
My fiance and I started the tradition a couple years ago of going to 24-hour diners for our Valentine's Day dinner. Greasy breakfast for dinner is a fun treat, and we never have to worry about reservations!

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Zingerman's Praise the Lard Gift Box
Oh, there are so many fond pork memories! I think one of my best moments was serving bacon brittle at our Super Bowl party last year. People were rather suspicious at first, but they couldn't stop eating it.
Cook the Book: 'The Bon Appétit Fast Easy Fresh Cookbook'
Grape tomatoes roasted with olive oil, salt and pepper, tossed with pasta. Top with some good Parmesan, and it's a fast, satisfying meal.
50 Homemade Holiday Gift Ideas
On Friday, I decided to make gift boxes for my friends across the country: 4 types of cookies, Alton Brown's hot cocoa mix, homemade marshmallows, rosemary salt, and bath salts. I think I may be nuts, trying to do this at the last minute!
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Southside Market Sausage
When I'm lucky enough to be near there, City Market in Luling, TX. For local barbeque, I like the Smoke Station here in Savannah.

Anything with lox. I'll even eat the stuff on the mediocre bagels we've got in my neck of the woods!

Strip steak for a regular night, porterhouse for a splurge!
