Your Deadly Sins


Sloth: 60%
Pride: 40%
Envy: 20%
Gluttony: 20%
Greed: 20%
Wrath: 20%

Television:

Yes I have a television. Molto Mario, Lidias Family Table, anything on Court TV, anything with Sharks, the Discovery Channel, History Channel, SOPRANOS, entourage, Rome, Mexico One Plate at a time with Rick Bayless, Cookin' in brooklyn, Daisy Cooks, Yan Can cook, steam pipe alley with mario cantone.

Books:

OK geeze. Most of my books are either play scripts, ancient texts (Iliad, Aenied, The Buccolics, The Odyssey) and food related books. Great ones are "Cod" and "Salt" by Mark Kurlansky. I also really enjoyed "The Omnivore's Dilemma" as well as "Charcturie" and "Vino Italiano". Ooh Ooh wait! I love Mark Twain - pretty much anything with local color and local regional flair. Thomas Hart Benton is my favorite american artist for this exact reason.

Heroes:

Euripedes, Thomas Sowell, Martin Yan.
