I admired the English immensely for all that they had endured, and they were certainly honorable, and stopped their cars for pedestrians, and called you โsirโ and โmadam,โ and so on. But after a week there, I began to feel wild. It was those ruddy English faces, so held in by duty, the sense of โwhat is doneโ and โwhat is not done,โ and always swigging tea and chirping, that made me want to scream like a hyena
Julia ChildI don't believe in twisting yourself into knots of excuses and explanations over the food you make.... Usually one's cooking is better than one thinks it is. And if the food is truly vile...then the cook must simply grit her teeth and bear it with a smile.
