Diva Cooking 101

Divas cook gorgeous things that are fabulous enough to share with friends and family. They just don't cook much. Every diva needs a few, easy signature dishes to get by. Are you a diva cook?

Divas cook while listening to Billie Holiday, Muddy Waters, or the Rolling Stones.

Divas cook while sipping Champagne, Chardonnay, or a martini.

Divas cook with a feather boa draped around their shoulders.

While cooking, divas nibble gin-soaked olives or Champagne-saturated strawberries.

Divas cook while wearing an apron that says, "Tomorrow is another Chardonnay."

A diva's favorite breakfast is last night's appetizers.

Divas don't stress over particular amounts in any recipe. Glugs, plops, and handfuls are accurate enough.

Divas can cook with boas because diva recipes do not require many steps. Still, the food is fabulous.

Rita Mae's Restaurant Review

Rita Mae's is a great diner on the West Side of Manchester, NH. The menu is extensive and affordable. The atmosphere is funky with yellow walls and pink lights all over them. I love pink lights. The current man in my life recently ordered a corned beef hash omelet for $5.99. It was full of corned beef. He ate every morsel.

I ordered a hash brown special for $4.65. It was fine, but there was too much cheese on it. In addition, my rye toast had way too much butter on it. It was inedible. The coffee is the stuff of diners--no French Roast here.

On Fridays, Rita Mae's serves fresh fish. Their fried clam plate for $16.99 is the best in the city. There was so much, I had to share with my man. Their onion rings are also the best this city offers. They are light and crispy and perfect.
