If you really need to understand just how important Bob's expert foodie guest, Meredith Hughes, is... browse over to http://foodmuseum.typepad.com/food_museum_blog/2008/12/green-chile-bisque.html and read The Food Museum's blog (and then be sure to visit the on-line foodie museum).
On the menu: green chili bisque and delicious lasagne (did I spell that right?). Good red wine and crusty bread with olive oil dip, completed with the best salad I've ever tasted! I think it had cranberries, walnuts, and interesting goodies hidden in that salad, but it could have been a meal by itself.
