5 Things I learned from Eatzi’s*

(*the greatest prepared-foods/pseudo-restaurant/grocery store chain, specifically referring to their location on Westheimer in Houston, TX)

1. You can make some amazingly tasty dishes from a few simple ingredients.

2. Blue cheese – the cheese, not the dressing – just makes everything taste better.

3. Wash your dishes as soon as you’re done making the dish. It’s easier and faster than you think, and it frees you up for the next activity.

4. Knife skills are a must if you’re going to bother to be in the kitchen.

5.Nobody – and I mean nobody – does balsamic vinaigrette better than Eatzi’s.
