“Life is too short for self-hatred and celery sticks.”

“When your Super Bowl guests arrive, they should find a mound of potato chips large enough to conceal a pony sitting in front of the television. For nutritional balance, you should also put out a bowl of carrot sticks. If you have no carrot sticks, you can use pine cones, or used electrical fuses, because nobody will eat them anyway. This is no time for nutritional balance: This is the Super Bowl, for God's sake.”

~Dave Barry (Miami Herald Columnist)

“Dare to love yourself
as if you were a rainbow
with gold at both ends.”
 

~Aberjhani, The River of Winged Dreams

“He who distinguishes the true savor of his food can never be a glutton; he who does not cannot be otherwise.”

~ Henry David Thoreau

“The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn’t waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it.”

~ Mario Batali
