Quote of the Week 11/28/11

Today’s food quote comes from actor Robert Redford, who pretty much states the obvious. Except I happen to disagree, because I don’t really care for Oreos (it’s un-American, I know).

“Health food may be good for the conscience but Oreos taste a hell of a lot better.” 

– Robert Redford

He looks a hell of a lot like Al Franken in this picture. Weird.

Quote of the Week 11/21/11

I think the quote of the day is especially applicable to the feast we are all about to participate in on Thursday. It comes from Oscar Wilde, irish writer and poet. I think some of us will agree.

“After a good dinner one can forgive anybody, even one’s own relatives.”  

-Oscar Wilde

Quote of the Week 11/14/11

I’m still riding my high from the Wizarding World of Harry Potter this weekend with Becca. Therefore, I bring you this quote from the woman who wrote my childhood, JK Rowling. It doesn’t have anything to do with food in a direct sense, but you can totally apply it in a metaphorical sense, if you have imagination.

“It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might has well not have lived at all, in which case you have failed by default.” 

–JK Rowling

I'm still waiting for my owl acceptance to Hogwarts. RAVENCLAW

Quote of the Week 11/7/11

Today’s quote comes from humorist and food writer Calvin Trillin. This quote strikes me as interesting because it’s so different from my upbringing. We didn’t really do leftovers (Tina is really weird about that stuff), so it’s interesting to me that there are families who subsist mostly on leftovers. Verrrrry interesting.

“The most remarkable thing about my mother is that for thirty years she served the family nothing but leftovers. The original meal has never been found.” 

– Calvin Trillin

FACT: Leftovers cause male pattern baldness. (Disclaimer: I just made that fact up).
