When you have the best and tastiest ingredients, you can cook very simply and the food will be extraordinary because it tastes like what it is.

If love found me it can surely find you. I ain't even got one sad tear left in me.

I'm a real home girl.

I have never heard anything about the resolutions of the apostles, but a good deal about their acts.

Behind all this, some great happiness is hiding.
