My Biggest Kitchen Disaster: I took the weight off the pressure cooker too soon, spraying hot salty water (from corned beef) into the kitchen fan, which, of course, shorted out and died.

My Food For Thought: "I can straddle a yardstick, the long way," he said.

Now blue-green meat, that’s bad for you! ~Tommy Smothers The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ, Moves on: nor all your Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line, Nor all your Tears wash out a Word of it -- Omar Khayyam Man is defined as a human being and woman as a female - whenever she behaves as a human being she is said to imitate the male. --Simone de Beauvoir Your mashed potatoes are an abomination. He who eats alone chokes alone. We may win when we lose, if we have done what we can; for by so doing we have made real at least some part of that finished product in whose fabrication we are most concerned: ourselves.--Judge Learned Hand “My friend asked me if I wanted a frozen banana.

Since no one is perfect, it follows that all great deeds have been accomplished out of imperfection.--Cordelia Naismith Vorkosigan Here I am talkin' of parties. I came down here for a party.
