  birthplace:
La Mirada, California
fav condiments: Mango-habanero
salsa, Tico sauce (Salsa Lizano)
fav food: French
fries, sushi (not together)
favorite ingredients:
shallots, olive oil, lime
food I would only eat if
I were starving: Organ means that are anatomically
identifiable. I don't mind them in their processed forms,
but I don't like having biology class flashbacks. Also olives.
I finally decided a few weeks ago to accept that I don't like
olives. It's been my secret shame for as long as I can remember.
I've choked them down and tried to convince myself I enjoyed
them, but I'm now ready to come out of the closet.
favorite food novel/movie:
The Man Who Ate Everything. Funny! And of course Like Water
for Chocolate, which I read in one sitting and bawled throughout.
fav cocktail: Cosmopolitan
(blushes) or any pink cocktail
fav wine: Petite
Syrah in summertime, Zinfandel in winter
most exotic thing I've
ever eaten: reptiles: rattlesnake, alligator, iguana,
although none of them seem particularly exotic anymore. You
get a lot of 'em in Texas.
worst kitchen disaster:
I've burned, melted, and flambéed countless pans, ruined
a million dishes, and burned at least half of the batches
of cookies I've ever made.
dinner time: 8:30
or 9
comfort food: Cookies,
French fries, lemonade
cooking philosophy:
Always try new things. Wing it. And don't be afraid to really
screw up. If it's ghastly, you can always throw it out and
pretend it never happened.
