key to a good life

is excellent olive oil (extra virgin).

the first thing i am putting on the list for stocking my next kitchen is some pricey, well refined, oil.

no joke - pure. simple. clean. olive oil can take a dish to another level. i have replaced butter in almost all aspects of my cooking (some things you can't obviously.... baking, making some pancakes, spreading on an ear of corn...).

olive oil. drink it up.

I beg to differ on the whole not-being-able-to-use-olive-oil-in-baking, sir. Check Mario Batali's cookbook for the olive oil and orange-scented cake.
