"What I love about cooking is that after a hard day,
there is something comforting about the fact that
if you melt butter and add flour, then hot stock, it will get thick! It's a sure thing.
It's a sure thing in a world where nothing is sure!"
__Nora Ephron
"A good cook is like a sorceress who dispenses happiness."
__Elsa Schiaparelli
"Noncooks think it's silly to invest two hours' work
in two minutes' enjoyment; but if cooking is evanescent,
so is the ballet. "

It should be entered into with abandon or not at all."

Dyed-in-the-wool chocolate aficionados like David and Miz' Tate are crazy for this pie, but even they can't eat too much of it at one sittin' 'cause it's extremely rich.
