Let's Dish: What Are Your Culinary Routines?
Every Monday through Friday, at 11:30 in the morning, I like to eat a banana. I've been performing this culinary ritual for at least the past two years. I know I'm not the only one who has a food routine: for as long as I can remember, I've watched DearSugar eat a salad every day for lunch.
What's More Important to You: Quality or Quantity of Food?
Perhaps in light of the big food holidays coming up, I've been giving a little bit of thought to portion control lately. I recently had a debate with a friend over whether we'd rather eat lots of mediocre food or a smaller quantity of very delicious food.
My friend said he'd rather eat more — but then again, he grew up in a place where portions were huge and buffets were everywhere.
Let's Dish: What Family Recipe Did You Love to Eat as a Kid?
Growing up, there were a few dishes that my dad cooked, and one of them was an item that my mother taught him to make: almond tofu. In retrospect, the quasi-traditional Chinese dessert, which actually contains no tofu, sounds like it came right out of a 1970s recipe book, as it was simply canned fruit syrup, cubes of almond-flavored gelatin, and pieces of canned peaches, pears, and — my favorite — cherries. But back then, whenever Dad made that dish, my heart (and stomach) would do a little dance inside.
Do You Prefer an Early or Late Dinner?
The other day I was coming home from the pool with my dad around 5 p.m. We drove by a crowded Italian restaurant and I couldn't help but wonder, what type of person eats dinner at 5 in the afternoon? Of course, if these diners knew my father and I wouldn't sit down to dinner until 9:30, they would be wondering the same thing about me!
Do You Save Your Favorite Part of a Dish for Last?
The other day DearSugar told me how she always saves her favorite part of a dish for last. For example, when she eats her daily salad at lunch she eats her favorite part — the protein last. I confessed that I do the same!
Let's Dish: What Foods Did You Once Dislike But Now Love?
Most of the food lovers I know were pickier eaters as kids. Over the years, as we try more foods, we discover that tastes we once disliked have transformed into deliciousness. I don't know about you, but once I start liking a new food, I can't get enough of it.
