One of the important requirements for learning how to cook is that you also learn how to eat.

You don't have to cook fancy or complicated masterpieces - just good food from fresh ingredients.

I 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.

In the blood-heat of pursuing the enemy, many people are forgetting what we are fighting for. We are fighting for our hard-won liberty and freedom; for our Constitution and the due processes of our laws; and for the right to differ in ideas, religion and politics. I am convinced that in your zeal to fight against our enemies, you, too, have forgotten what you are fighting for.

Just speak very loudly and quickly, and state your position with utter conviction, as the French do, and you'll have a marvelous time!

People who are not interested in food always seem rather dry and unloving and don't have a real gusto for life.

...no one is born a great cook, one learns by doing.
