Kumquat Corse Kumquats from Corsica, bright orange marbles that glowed like miniature lightbulbs. If you can get past the multiple seeds - there can be five or six packed in there, probably driving one another batty - the reward is a chewy, juicy and all-natural sourball, so sweet and acidulated you may indeed pop them like candy.

Los Angeles Times Wine of the Week
2005 Lang & Reed Cabernet Franc The 2005 straight Cabernet Franc is a beauty, and proof, if anyone needs it, that this grape can make a delightful wine in California. It has a beautiful texture, lots of pepper and spice, along with velvety, deep fruit and a lively acidity. Altogether, it's wonderfully food-friendly and delicious. Drink it with just about anything - a burger, some ribs, a rack of lamb, cheese. This is one versatile wine.

Pasta with Tuna, Arugula, and Hot Pepper Canned tuna has never tasted this good. You make a sauce for the pasta with tuna, olive oil, garlic, and chile pepper flakes. When the pasta is done mix it in with the sauce and add fresh arugula which will wilt with the heat of the sauce and pasta. Quick, easy, and surprisingly delicious.

Cooking with Amy Amy Sherman
  
Bargain Bank: Shop My name is Amy and I am a bargain hunter. I recognize it is a disease and I have no power over it. If I see a bargain, I don't just buy one, I buy two, three, four or more. And now I sometimes get on the phone to call others, do they want some? So I guess this makes me something of a bargain pimp.

Savory Asparagus Bread Pudding It looked perfect for Spring, perfect for brunch, and if I were looking for something to add to my Easter recipe repertoire (which I'm not, but I'm sure some of you are), this looked compelling. A seasonal, family-style recipe where nearly all the prep can be done the day or night before.
