One of the things that happens in my house on the holidays is after dessert, we sit down to a very ambitious men-versus-women game of Trivial Pursuit. It's brutal. And there's a trophy.

I love the culture of grilling. It creates an atmosphere that is festive but casual.

Go vegetable heavy. Reverse the psychology of your plate by making meat the side dish and vegetables the main course.

A grill is just a source of heat. Just like a stove, it is very user-friendly.

Cooking is a subject you can never know enough about. There is always something new to discover.

I'd love to visit Thailand just for the street food and the energy of a city like Bangkok.

I love using gas grills because they are easier to heat and it's much easier to control the flames with a gas grill than with a charcoal fire. Grilling is not just about lighting a fire.

Take risks and you'll get the payoffs. Learn from your mistakes until you succeed.

Grilling takes the formality out of entertaining. Everyone wants to get involved.

I probably use my chef's knives more than any other tool in the kitchen. I'm not married to a particular brand, because they all work, they all have sharp blades.

I can't be on the cheeseburger diet all the time.

Coming up with a useful, meaningful quote is getting more and more challenging each day....and you can quote me on that.

I am conscious of the fact that the subject of hell is not a very pleasant one. It is very unpopular, controversial and misunderstood.... As a minister, I must deal with it. I cannot ignore it.

Ascensions into heaven are like falling leaves sad and happy all at the same time Going away isn't really sad especially when your going enables a new kind of presence to be born.

To justify and extol human greed and egotism is to my mind not only immoral, but evil.

Only unfulfilled love can be romantic

Too much God and you overdose. God needs to be filtered.

As a rule we develop a borrowed European idea forward, and ... Europe develops a borrowed American idea backwards.

The invitation to repent is rarely a voice of chastisement but rather a loving appeal to turn around and to “re-turn” toward God.

I find the lure of the unknown irresistible.

The wise learn from the mistakes of others, it's the fool that wants to make their own mistakes.
