Comedy is exaggerated realism. It can be stretched to the almost ludicrous, but it must always be believable.

I cant stand those food cult people who bring their own food into the house. All those little thermoses and paper bags-it makes the other guests uncomfortable.

I sang in the choir for years, even though my family belonged to another church.

My table seats eight, so that's my maximum. Having a small number of guests is the only way to generate good conversation. Besides, your whole house doesn't get wrecked that way.

I may find something that looks interesting and then go on to alter the recipe by adding spices, things of my own. I also look for time-saving recipes, dishes that can be prepared ahead and stored.

Mothers don't want to pinch me or put me in their purse.
