About me: I can't be the only person who starts thinking about what to cook next while I am doing the dishes for the meal I just finished eating ... right?

Favorite cookbook: I flirt with all of them. But I am a sucker for good writing and great pictures.

Favorite recipe: Pretty much any combo of good bread and great cheese.

Slow-Roasted Tomatoes from One Good Dish

A dish that could not be simpler to make, and absolutely delicious. Topped the cooled tomato with a room temperature slice of mozzarella drizzled with EVOO and some ribbons of basil. A real treat. read more >

Mexican Everyday (Recipes Featured on Season 4 of the PBS-TV series "Mexico One Plate at a Time")

By Rick Bayless, Christopher Hirsheimer, Deann Bayless
W. W. Norton - 2005

Excellent and easy white rice pilaf -- about five minutes active prep time and then 25 minutes in the oven. Served with Pork Tenderloin Mexicana (p. 282) so I added cilantro rather than parsley. Simple but perfect.

Wonderful weeknight meal. Robust spicy flavor and very healthy (although somewhat less so when paired -- as I did -- with the white rice pilaf on p, 88).

Not only will I make this recipe again, I am sitting down with this cookbook tonight to see what I want to make next.

Went well with the pinot noir I was drinking and even better with the German ale my husband was drinking. Go figure.

This was a delicious weeknight meal. Healthy and full of flavor. Although I followed the recipe as written, Bayless includes ideas for streamlining the prep to get the meal on the table even faster.
