This week we've been looking at the recipes and foods that defined the past decades, starting with the 60s. Today we're tackling the 2000s. Although they wrapped up only a few years ago, it's interesting to look back and already see a change in food trends. The 2000s were a decade of culinary contradictions: We loved fruit smoothies, organic salads, and raw diets, but we also were obsessed with cupcakes, cake pops, and the Atkins Diet. Depending on what you're eating, you probably washed it all down with green tea, Pepsi Twist or some kind of energy drink.

What are your favorite recipes from the 2000s? Here are the ten we think really defined the decade.

Bacon managed to get itself it everything whether we wanted it or not. A bacon milkshake? It totally happened.

Mini desserts reigned supreme in the 2000s, and nothing was more popular than a simple, cute cupcake.

Not to be confused with the green/vegetable smoothie craze happening right now.

4. Watermelon and Feta Salad

Sweet and salty goodness! This salad was everywhere.

Going along with miniature desserts, our burgers also shrank.

Brown butter was everywhere -- in our bread, our desserts, and especially pasta.

It was hard to go to a restaurant without seeing this on the menu.

These were popular towards the end of the 2000s, leading up to Starbucks introducing them in stores sometime in 2011.

9. Giant Hunks of Meat (No-Carb/Atkins)

The craze that took the decade.

10. Roasted Beet Salads with Goat Cheese

Tossed with some walnuts this salad is still a favorite of mine.

Did we leave anything off?

Stalker Psychology - Inside the Mind of a Stalker

# data[].attributes.body
-Rebecca Gilman is Artistic Associate of the Goodman Theatre in Chicago
-Grew up in small town in Alabama and moved to Chicago (This is similar to characters Tony and Theresa who moved from small towns in midwest (Terre Haute for Tony) to New York.
-At the Goodman theatre she brought in a Social Worker to speak to her team - she shared that 1/3 Women in America face some sort of sexual abuse (which influenced her work in Boy Meets Girl - 'its a fact of life for many women unfortunately)
- Growing up she went to a state high school and then a private high school - 'we went from being the sort of well-off people in this small town to being the poor kids from the sticks in the private school. So I think I have always been aware of how money gives you status in our country and it’s sort of easily won or lost.” - this is again echoed in 'BMG' when Theresa says that rich people always take all the free food at benefits not thinking of those less fortunate'
-Her first play was influenced by a real court case about a female serial killer - she likes to write about flawed characters and how their brains work
- The fact she grew up in Southern America echos the image of how a female should be 'housewife who cooks and cleans' this is shown when Tony places emphasis on Theresa's cooking ability- his mother was the cook of the house.

Before I met playwright Rebecca Gilman to discuss her newest work, I prepared myself to discuss some dark topics. A common thread in her widely performed, often gritty and self-described "naturalistic" works is violence against women, such as in her most critically acclaimed play, The Glory of Living (1998), about a female serial killer. We were meeting during a recent rehearsal break at the Goodman Theatre in Chicago, which was about to debut Luna Gale, about a meth-addict mother confronting the the foster-care system.

But Gilman, 49, brought up the topic of comic-book super heroes, specifically Wonder Woman. She was discussing the importance of making her main female characters flawed in order to be more convincing-as in "Luna Gale, a 50ish social worker who often gets frustrated with her job." She adds,

"I feel like in our culture, we set people up as these sort of heroic overachievers-or people who are saints and completely selfless. And I don't think anyone is that. I think that everybody is flawed. A lot of people do the best they can to help people. But it's difficult. You get in your own way, and you get tired and you get mad and you get frustrated.

I just think it's much more interesting to look at how flawed and complex people are. Like the Marvel comics kind of get it right in a weird way because all the superheroes have some weird problem. I mean, they at least acknowledge the Incredible Hulk has a real rage problem."

I asked if that's a reason why the character of Wonder Woman, who lacks demons, hasn't been the subject of her own Hollywood movie yet, after years of false starts. "Nobody has made the right female superhero," says Gilman. "She isn't going to suddenly start drinking too much because she has a dark moment. She is just going to fly around in the invisible plane."

Gilman also embraces complexity when writing about feminist issues, whether directly-the clearest example being her widely performed Boy Gets Girl, a chilling drama about stalking-or more indirectly, such as portraying the full humanity of violence survivors:

"I think in works by men, often violence against women is violence perpetrated by a protagonist against some secondary or ancillary character. So the women aren't fully realized in a way that makes you feel the effects of that violence. And I guess in my plays it's from the point of view of the woman every single time. So hopefully it has more resonance."

I asked her to explain why she writes so often about violence against women. While she said that she "never really thought about it as a theme, of course it is:

"[At the Goodman] we had a social worker come speak with us, just to get a sense of what [the main character] was like, as part of the research in rehearsals. And she quoted a statistic. She said that one in three women in the U.S. is the victim of some sort of sexual abuse. And that that's a broad spectrum from being physically abused at one end and then I guess the milder cases ... of being exposed to something inappropriate. But it's still a huge number. ... So I guess that's part of why it's influenced my work. It's just a fact of life for so many women, unfortunately."

Another related theme that permeates her work is class. Gilman explains this focus as "a no-brainer of what's wrong with our country" and her own "ambiguous class origins." The daughter of a Jewish father and a mother from a Baptist background, she grew up in a small town outside of Birmingham, Ala.:

"I think in terms of my town, we were well off. And then for high school, my parents sent us to a private school in Birmingham. And suddenly we went from being the sort of well-off people in this small town to being the poor kids from the sticks in the private school. So I think I have always been aware of how money gives you status in our country and it's sort of easily won or lost."

She said that in Luna Gale class is at the forefront:

"If you end up with a social worker in your house, you're probably poor. Because rich people just have so many other options and so many other ways to get around those issues. ... The abuse of women is pandemic across class, but the rich people who have these issues don't end up in the news, basically. Because they don't end up with the police at their door. They don't end up with a social worker taking their kids away ... They can get real therapy. They can get real rehab. And they can get the things that money can buy to help you out or cover things up."

Rebecca Gilman's next production, a world premiere of Soups, Stews and Casseroles: 1976 for the Repertory Theater of St. Louis in March, is her first play to focus directly on the women's liberation movement of the 1970s. Her mother helped inspire a character of that era "who is suddenly discovering a new power, and a new sense of self"-a woman whose feminism "shakes up this family."

Luna Gale runs until February 23 at the Goodman Theatre.

1. 537 votes decide race, divide U.S.

America was divided after eight years of President Bill Clinton. But it was not until the vote tallies started rolling in on the night of Nov. 7, 2000, that the nation's narrow split came sharply into color.

The cliffhanger election of Texas Gov. George W. Bush over Vice President Al Gore in the presidential race added the terms "red state" and "blue state" to the lexicon and set the stage for a decade of rancorous and at times paranoid politics.

Gore prevailed in the national popular vote. But Bush won where it mattered, in the Electoral College, thanks to his carrying of the crucial swing state Florida by a mere 537 votes, a margin far tighter than in a typical mayoral or legislative race.

It was not that clear-cut, of course. With the stakes so high and the race so close, Democrats and Republicans dug in for a protracted fight that eventually would lead to the U.S. Supreme Court. Early the morning after the polls closed, Gore called Bush to concede, then hastily took it back. Florida would have a recount.

America was riveted by the struggle over disputed votes, becoming intimately familiar with arcane poll terms such as "butterfly ballots" and "hanging chads."

The drama continued until Dec. 12, when the Supreme Court handed down its controversial 5-4 Gore vs. Bush decision. It blocked a Florida Supreme Court-ordered manual recount and crushed Gore's hopes.

"Let there be no doubt: While I strongly disagree with the court's decision, I accept it," Gore said Dec. 13. Others were not so gracious, blasting the justices as partisan. On Bush's Inauguration Day, protesters lined Washington streets with signs reading, "Hail to the Thief."

Political experts point to the 2000 election as a key moment in the rise of incivility in U.S. politics, where hard-core critics target the legitimacy of the president, peddle conspiracy theories and stay in constant campaign mode a condition that would persist into President Barack Obama's term.

2. Elian Gonzalez

The young castaway, whose American odyssey became a metaphor for the changing relationship between the United States and Communist Cuba, returns to his homeland with his father after a highly politicized international custody battle lasting more than seven months.

3. USS Cole bombing

Slipping through security in a small boat, terrorists carry out a suicide explosives attack on the U.S. Navy destroyer USS Cole in Yemen, killing 17 sailors. The Cole, based at Norfolk, Va., was en route to the Persian Gulf to enforce a U.N. trade embargo against Iraq.

4. Soaring oil prices

U.S. multinational corporations are walloped by rising oil prices that surge to more than $30 a barrel, increasing costs for manufacturers and transporters and reducing profits. Western nations persuaded Saudi Arabia and several oil-producing nations to condemn rising prices as harmful to the world economy. President Bill Clinton orders the release of oil from the nation's emergency reserve in an effort to stabilize gasoline prices, which rose to more than $1.60 a gallon.

5. Firestone recall

The government orders Bridgestone/Firestone to recall more than 6.5 million tires because of tread separations and blowouts in one of the largest automotive recalls in U.S. history. More than 100 people in the United States die from accidents involving the tires. Masatoshi Ono, the top executive of Bridgestone/Firestone Inc., apologizes for the recall and steps down.

6. Ruling to split Microsoft

A federal judge orders Microsoft Corp. split in two, declaring the software giant an "untrustworthy" monopoly that refuses to abandon illegal business practices that crush competitors and harm consumers. The ruling would have set in motion the largest forced reorganization of a corporation since the breakup of Standard Oil in 1911. The Justice Department later decides against breaking up Microsoft and seeks a lesser antitrust penalty.

7. Genetic advance

The biotechnology company Celera Genomics and the publicly funded Human Genome Project announce that they each completed draft versions of the human genetic code. The code, or human genome, is the detailed biological instruction manual that scientists believe will help fight disease.

8. Joyous Y2K

The world welcomes the new millennium with South Sea islanders singing Handel's Hallelujah chorus and Americans sporting Y2K eyewear in New York's Times Square. Humanity also breathes a little easier as 1999-to-2000 date changes fail to cause any major disruptions of the world's major computer systems.

9. Milosevic falls

A vast citizen army protesting disputed election results seizes control of key political institutions in Yugoslavia and ends the rule of President Slobodan Milosevic, who faces U.N. war-crimes charges.

10.Tobacco verdict

The tobacco industry suffers a loss in a class-action case as jurors order companies them to pay $144 billion in punitive damages to Florida smokers who became sick or died because of cigarette addiction. Tobacco lawyers appeal the ruling and predict the judgment will have no practical effect.
