The planning is everything. Deciding which dishes you're going to prepare can turn into the make-or-break decision five days later, when you actually serve the meal.

I like almonds as a snack - keeps your energy up but doesn't fill you up.

Anyone who tries to make brownies without butter should be arrested.

You can be miserable before you have a cookie and you can be miserable after you eat a cookie but you can't be miserable while you are eating a cookie.

Necessity, like electricity, is in ourselves and all things, and no more without us than within us.

Steve, it's OK. I know Angle is a dork, but he's a dangerous dork, our dork and your backup dork!
