Pasta with Roast Chicken, Currants and Pine Nuts* (*Unless You Can’t Afford Them)
Two of my favorite dinners in the world are roast chicken and pasta. In fact, if I had a death sentence looming over my head, I’d ask to be executed twice so I could have two last meals, one a roast chicken, the other a big plate of pasta. Luckily, that’s no longer an issue…

Absolute Bagels (And The Best Bagel Of My Life, So Far)
