Reads: The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini – a fabulous book! A wonderful story that begins in pre-war Afghanistan, travels to the Bay Area and comes full circle to “present-day” Afghanistan. I couldn’t put it down!
Tube: Being Bobby Brown on Bravo – just like that accident on the freeway, you just can’t help but look!
Tunes: Zucchero & Co. – Italian superstar teams up with the likes of Sheryl Crow, Eric Clapton, Sting and Vanessa Carlton and puts out an album that has a little bit of everything.

Eats: Ratatouille (from Julia Child’s Mastering the Art of French Cooking, vol. 1) – perfect summer dish to utilize those tomatoes!
