“Sincerity. If you can fake that, you’ve got it made.” George Burns I love pea soup, but as a person trying to cut down on carbs I had to find an option. It was like trying to have an affair where no one would get hurt. I didn’t think it was possible. And then, this…
“Cleaning is just putting stuff in less obvious places.” About two years ago I was bitten by the minimalist bug. It took me about 14 months to feel the itch. But then I got the itch really bad. At that point I said something about getting rid of half of my possessions by the end…
“In cooking, you’ve got to have a what-the-hell attitude.” Julia Child Well, I’ve finally discovered the ultimate joke played on humanity by the French. Why not blame it on them.

“To err is human, but it takes technology to really screw things up.” It’s really nice to find a recipe that’s easy, delicious, and foolproof. That’s when it’s best to try making it in you very own kitchen. Take the Autumn Bread Pudding, which I enjoyed at my friend’s house. In fact, I enjoyed it…
“It’s your life, but only if you make it so.” The thing I like about this recipe is the ease. I also like the taste. But best of all, I like the fact that this dish can be prepared the day before and then simply popped into the oven an hour before you and your…
The quickest way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, unless you’re a surgeon. Last night I visited with my son and his wife and eight of their twelve children. That’s a story in itself. My daughter-in-law, who fears I might become infirm and foisted upon them in the future, told me I should…
