For all who cook or need my help in there. You don't need four hundred knives like the ones they want to sell you at the fancy gourmet stores. You need a chef's knife, you need a paring knife, and you need a fish knife, and sharpen them please. The same with saute' pans. Depending on how many people you're serving in your house, you really need about four or five: a twelve and a ten-inch saute' pan (both nonstick), a pasta pot, and a couple of saucepans. And don't spend more money on a place...

From this weeks Time magazine: Gus, Alex, Alexandre, Daniel, Roberto, Bruna, Edwilson, Time:..Brazil has been criticized for building facilities for the World Cup while ignoring the needs of the people who live nearby. Do you agree?Pelé:...There are reasons for the protests and the criticism. People are also complaining about corruption. I think this is correct. But we have two excellent moments for Brazil to grow income and tourism–the World Cup and the Olympics. The players and the athl...

I am so glad we pay taxes just for these idiots to get their 15 minutes of fame, only to play, "who has the biggest penis!!!" Don't tell me what the American people will tolerate! Until we are struck down to our knees we shall not rise up in anger!!!

Touché on the name being bastardized. lol
A variation called the James Bond Martini:
‘A dry Martini,’ he said. ‘One. In a deep champagne goblet.’
‘Oui, Monsieur.’
‘Just a moment. Three measures of Gordon’s, one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet. Shake it very well until it’s ice-cold, then add a large slice of lemon-peel. Got it?’
I just refer to these and the other 1, 374 variations of this this sort of drink, a shot. It would be like Cerebral Hemorr...

I have come to the conclusion that I'm not rich enough to have dietary restrictions. Ever notice that you don't meet poor people with special diet needs? A gluten intolerant house cleaner?

I just saw a line that a French chef I understudied under years ago said.....“Before you learn how to cook, you must learn how to eat.” Truth!

I try, I really do try to enjoy TV. What am I to do, when a show such as CSI still hasn't learned where light switches are located yet ALWAYS solve the crime! I so understand why my books are screaming my name. "Hey Idiot, over here!!!"

I’ve learned that it’s taking me a long time to become the person that I want to be......I’ve learned that just because someone doesn’t love you the way you want them to doesn’t mean that they don’t love you with all they have.....I’ve learned that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.....I’ve learned that you can keep going long after you can’t......
