Jess and I use it in practically everything (except when I do Asian food). When I first started buying groceries for myself, I though oil is oil and got the $3 vegetable oil -- what a mistake! Now I get a good quality oil that costs a lot more, but tastes so wonderful, you can use it plain on bread or pasta and taste the olivey goodness. Considering that your oil informs the flavor of everything you make, this is no place to skimp! Maya,

What can I say about Spanish food if I'm from Spain? I think the ingredient which makes the mediterranean food so healthy is olive oil. We use olive oil for any fried plate. In Spain, a similar plate of this recipe [with garbanzos, chorizo (a soyrizo animal, not vegetable), olive oil...] is called cocido. It's typical from my city (Madrid) but we don't add yogurt! I suppose that is from Indian food. Oh, Spanish food! What can I say about Spanish food if I’m from Spain? I think the ingredient which makes the mediterranean food so healthy is olive oil.

Sounds like the polar opposite of L. He just sits there and shares his genious. Your sis just twitches and laughs. Haha. Misa-chan has her serious moments. I don't understand how anyone can survive with a posture like L's. Hmm… Sounds like the polar opposite of L. He just sits there and shares his genious. Your sis just twitches and laughs. Haha.

The only thing Death Note L wouldn't like about her is the fact that if she gets to much sugar or caffeine she loose all coherency. And I don't mean she becomes bouncing and happy like Misa-Misa-chan; she just sits there and twitches and laughs at really weird things. Seriously, she would be the ideal match for L.

Basically, I kept a tupperware container with onions, garlic, red bell peppers and mushrooms chopped and ready to go. Then, as needed, I'd toss them into ramen, an omelet or pasta. Supplement with olive oil, cheese and basil, and you've got a diverse and super-cheap menu to choose from! Kristi,
