I make meat sauce all the time...but want to hear something sort of weird? I've never made meatballs. That unfortunate situation changed last night, when I tried out my friend Marianne's totally foolproof (and totally mouthwatering) recipe.
I am completely and utterly incapable of coming within ten feet of a grating or peeling device of any sort and keeping my skin intact.
I get a lot of compliments on this guacamole recipe (served up at last night's party)...but you want to hear a secret? It's not that I make incredible guacamole...it's that guacamole is always incredible.
All this talk about pickles got me craving some desperately, so I just took a quick run over to a store on First Ave that I've been meaning to visit ever since we moved to the neighborhood: Pickles, Olives, Etc.
Yesterday, I met up with Alejandra (from Always Order Dessert, below center), NY Mag photographer Melissa (left), and publicist Donetta at Landmarc for a little pow-wowing.
