Rick's a great cook. I think he missed his calling. Pretty early on when we first started dating, in the days of my studio apartment when the dinner table was a foot locker, I sensed that there was something special about the stuff he was making in my tiny kitchen. Eventually we gave up our rent-stabilized studios and moved into a brand-new apartment with a bigger kitchen, and Rick's cooking skills really took off. I supplied the camera and the appetite. Here are some of the highlights...enjoy, preferably with a glass of Oregon Pinot Noir.
