My grocery store has excellent produce. I don`t buy much
fruit: bananas and apples usually. I buy frozen cherries
because I never know when I`m going to want them.

I can get high-quality meat and fish at the grocery store. Or
the butcher shop. Or the fishmonger.
I wouldn`t use a rotisserie chicken if it were free.

Plain oatmeal does it for me.

I prefer to make my own crusts from scratch, and I don`t put
sauce on my pizza. Garlic, olive oil, provolone, fresh tomatoes,
sometimes broccoli, and--when it`s out of the oven--minced basil
and parsley.
