My Favorite Eats
I'm it!
I'm it!
Cookiecrumb of I'm Mad and I Eat fame tagged me for the "You Are What You Eat: 10 Favorite Foods" meme and I've spent the past couple of days thinking about it.
In reading other bloggers' entries I found most of the chosen foods were single items. Instead of picking a fruit or a vegetable or a meat or a cheese, I went with my favorite dishes. So, if I had 10 days to live, I'd go out with a bang and these 10 meals.
Sadly none of the pictures are mine :(
In no particular order:
steak au poivre with frites , from the days of living in Chatou, France
raclette , from the skiing village of Zermatt
ravioli , just because
sesame chicken with brown rice , from Chef Chu's
thin crust pepperoni pizza , my half Italian side
French onion soup, from French bistros
avocados with a spoon and some salt, a favorite snack
goat cheese toasts ......
on a warm spinach salad
macaroni and cheese , homemade or Kraft
cajun-fried catfish, courtesy of Bourbon Street in Tokyo
P.S. And thanks to Kalyn's Kitchen, I found out about the 2005 Food Blog Awards. Kate of Accidental Hedonist is accepting nominations until December 16. So check it out and nominate your favorite blog. It's also a good way to discover new blogging buddies.
Oh shoot I have to tag people:
Life's A Picnic
Winos&Foodies
SomethingSOClever
Desert Culinary
In Praise of Sardines
I'm it!

Very, very nice. Loved the stolen photos.
Wait. Chef Chu's? Did you go to Stanford?
Oh geesh, I was just coming here to tag you... haven't seen you around in awhile, figured this would bring you back. ;)
Avocado and salt - mmmm. That is one of my favorites!
Wonderful - mind if I join you on your "last 10 days"? I love every entry.
I must say, I'm really glad I started this meme. It's great to read everyone's choices. Of course now my list has expanded dramatically.
Thanks for sharing
CC, ha you like those? I did not go to Stanford but I *was* born there:) And grew up in Los Altos. Went to Stanford swim camps but that's it. And you?
Sweetnicks, how are you? Ha that's too funny. I'll have to go and check out your post and see what's cookin in your top 10 list.
Sorry I've been MIA. I feel I'm behind in posts AND keeping in touch with friends. Hopefully I'll get caught up today.
Paz, ha :) I think I have enough pizza in this post I can share with you.
Mebeth, I'm known to walk into the bodega across the street and grab an avocado and head straight to the living room floor with garlic salt and spoon for snacktime:)
Ruth, so glad you visited. I didn't realize WHO had started it. Look forward to reading your top 10.
I lived on Avos + salt OR avos + garlic salt on warm corn tortillas in college. Take me back!!!!
The only good place I've found for corn tortillas is Kitchen on 21st and 8th Ave. in Chelsea. They seem to make em fresh...
*Coodence, that is too weird. I'm going through my blogroll because I haven't visited friends in ages and you're up next. Good timing. Will have to check that place out-I can head down there after work on my way to Swimster's -thanks for the tip! And corn tortillas are the way to go.
Wonderful photos, Mona. I'm with ya on the avocados and goat cheese (add a few sun dried tomatoes in oil to that goat cheese).
Wow. Los Altos is *so-o* California, in a Parent Trap sort of way. Not entirely... I think Parent Trap (the original 60s version) might have been Big Sur or Saratoga or something. But I think of Los Altos as the real thing.
Yeah, I was a grad student at Stanford. Dropped out, sensibly. No degree. Heh. (But met hubster there.)
thanks for the tag! my picks are up!
gotta love that junk food..mmm...
Mona,
You and I share a common bond with the Steak Au Poivre. I could eat that every single day (with pommes frites, of course).
A great entry. Kudos!
Mona, good call on everything! I have never tried avacado and salt....will be doing that soon!
That photo of the Mac and Cheese is making me drool all over my keyboard, Mona! I try to keep a running list of Last Meals in my head -- I should try to write them down in case I am ever, you know, on death row or something.
Great choices Mona! Especially the raclette...yum! :)
*Janice, you're right that would be a good addition.
*CookieCrumb, that is so cool! Nothing wrong with that! I love Parent Trap, and you're right, it does feel like it's a Northern California setting.
*Alicat, yay! Can't wait to check out your post. As soon as I wrap up this work here!!
*Seth-haa! Me too! My parents take me out to eat and stopped giving me the menu at half of the places because that's all I ever want when I'm being treated to dinner. I guess I should start broadening my horizons :)
*Indy, let me know if you give it a go!
*Mrs. Delicious, that is so funnY! Haa! Go for it. I wonder if Tookie's picked his last meal...
*Joey, I haven't had raclette in ages but it is seriously one of the yummiest foods out there...I should really just give it a go in my apt. I don't have to be in Switz. to enjoy it, ya know?
Peppered steak is the only way to fly. Not sure what this obsession is with Kraft over there, Catesa loves it too. Weird.
If it were my last 10 meals on this plane of existence I would dispense with the healthy stuff! Pile on the calories I say :-)
Any list containing pizza is a good list in my eyes :-)
*Melissa, mm what's for dinner?
*Yay Nazca, so glad you agreed with me on some of my pics. I can't really describe the processed cheese fix we have for Kraft...and can't imagine what any UK equiv. would be :)
Melissa, that sounds delicious and congratulations on your enormous weight loss. That's so exciting!! Keep up the good work (though you seem thin enough in your online pictures:) I will definitely check out the food museum. Have a good night!
How fun. It's amazing, but I love all your favorite foods. Most people's lists seem to have at least one food that I'm not too crazy about, but not yours. Good taste!!
Kalyn, seriously? That is hilarious. Great minds must think alike :) Glad you were on my same foodie page.
