What a great read! (Thank you!) And I love the idea of Liz’s Disgusting Things Cupboard. I have a similar shelf in my kitchen, it’s just never had a name.

Great questions, great answers!

Though the uterus and frog ovaries almost made me gag – it’s a bit early in the morning for that sort of shenanigans!!

Aw – not at all, Marilyn! Thanks very much for having me.

RT – I know, I know…do bear in mind two things though: that Trattoria del Lupo doesn’t actually have the Puckmeister at the helm, but a guy called Eduardo Perez, who’s actually rather good at the whole pizza thing; and that absolutely anything tastes good if it is a) covered with caviar and b) consumed alongside about five very large Martinis.

I believe I’d much rather “ear” the frog ovaries than eat them. Whatever.

Thanks, Liz, for being such a delightful guest! Great having you.

You had me till the mention of Wolfgang Puck. I detest everything that man makes. Really, I’d ear the frog ovaries before his pizza…LOL

Liz is hilarious–I loved the admission of “Liz’s Disgusting Things Cupboard” and the story of the ginger beer explosion. It brought back memories of a similar explosion at my friend Wade’s house after one of his early attempts at making wheat beer. And I absolutely agree with her that cooking is “fantastically therapeutic”–it explains my pudding-making in the middle of master bedroom reclamation.
