SINCE WE'RE ON THE SUBJECT OF FOOD AND MAGAZINES

In addition to receiving Bon Appetit every month (a yearly gift from my father) I also get Sunset magazine, which I have faithfully been reading since high school. I love the layout, articles, food section and travel pieces. As with Bon Appetit, I try recipes each month in Sunset as well, and usually have good results.

Last night I made chipotle meatballs for my husband, who is a smoky-chile addict. I personally don't eat red meat (I follow Dr. D'Adamo's blood type diet and for blood Type A, red meat is an "avoid"), but I did try a bite of the meatballs and thought they were tasty. I used organic, ground beef and followed the recipe except for adding the hard-boiled eggs (a rushed dinner). I think this would have made the dish even better.

Next time around...
