Five Foods.

1. Mint Chutney. I did not know about mint chutney until a dinner at marinatempest's house, and now I HAVE to have it in my fridge because I don't know if I can live without it. Subtly minty. Mostly spicy. Probably my favorite condiment these days.

2. Meatloaf. But this is in the 'anti' category. I haaaaate meatloaf. Hate. Even the name is kind of disgusting. And yet my mother has it in her head that I love meatloaf, so she makes it half the time when I come over for dinner. I don't have the heart to crush her obvious pride, so I deal and eat it anyway. Probably perpetuating the cycle. The things I do for familiy.

3. Crab soup. There is nothing as delicious as my husband's Maryland Crab Soup, made with tons of Old Bay and over 2 lbs of jumbo lump crab meat. Also, honorable mention: good cream of crab in cold weather.

4. Apple & pumpkin butters. My favorite things to spread on my toast when my thoughts turn to Autumn.

5. Tiramisu. Probably my favorite dessert, when done well. Add a foamy, well-made cappuccino, and I am in heaven. They have both at The Bean Hollow in Ellicott City, which is why it is currently my favorite coffee shop.
