There Is Nothing Better On A Cold

I Am Simply Of The Opinion That You Cannot Be Taught To Write. You Have To Spend A Lifetime In Love With Words.

Cooking Is At Once Child's Play And Adult Joy. And Cooking Done With Care Is An Act Of Love.

Give Me A Platter Of Choice Finnan Haddie, Freshly Cooked In Its Bath Of Water And Milk, Add Melted Butter, A Slice Or Two Of Hot Toast, A Pot Of Steaming Darjeeling Tea, And You May Tell The Butler To Dispense With The Caviar, Truffles And Nightingales' Tongues.

When She Goes About Her Kitchen Duties, Chopping, Carving, Mixing, Whisking, She Moves With The Grace And Precision Of A Ballet Dancer, Her Fingers Plying The Food With The Dexterity Of A Croupier.

Nothing Rekindles My Spirits, Gives Comfort To My Heart And Mind, More Than A Visit To Mississippi... And To Be Regaled As I Often Have Been, With A Platter Of Fried Chicken, Field Peas, Collard Greens, Fresh Corn On The Cob, Sliced Tomatoes With French Dressing... And To Top It All Off With A Wedge Of Freshly Baked Pecan Pie.
