I never pay attention to age or gender. There are just too many other more important things to consider.

Really try to find a job where it's fun to get up and get out the door, no matter what time.

I admire the courage and self-reliance it takes to start your own business and make it succeed.

As with all my new pets, I gently bit each kitten on the face. This is how I let my animals know that I am now their mother.

Study your strengths; then decide how hard you want to work

I want to focus on my salad.

I adore summer entertaining. For a dinner party at the farm, I might prepare homemade fettuccine with porcini mushrooms, soft-shell crabs, spinach from the garden, and lemon tarts with fraises des bois for dessert.
