My husband cooks fancier food for himself than I've ever cooked on-air. I call him from the road, and he's making champagne-vanilla salmon or black-cherry pork chop. Half of me is feeling unworthy. Not only am I not a chef, I'm not a better cook than my own husband!

I do sit-ups and push-ups at home, and that's about it. I have a gym card, but I never go there. It's a front. I pay for the membership every couple of years, thinking I'll be embarrassed enough to go. But every time I go, there's like people twice my age that look twice as good!

My first memory in life is grilling my thumb to the griddle in our restaurant on Cape Cod.

Work hard. Laugh when you feel like crying. Keep an open mind, open eyes and an open spirit.

I'm completely unqualified for any job I've ever had.

I started running 3 miles every morning after throat surgery to remove a cyst last year. The gym used to be my adversary. But that has all changed. Now, I look forward to it every morning.

Whatever it is you want to do, take a job in that field. You will learn by experience and, slow and steady, you'll get it done!
