cooking

Diet food is not a meal its a medicine.

All worries are less with wine.

Hunger gives flavour to the food.

I got the groceries and lugged them all the way to Akinli__ dorm, running slightly behind because I couldn__ get into the building on my own. The university required ID cards to get into the dorms after six, and since I wasn__ an actual student, I had to wait for someone else to come along and scan his so I could piggyback in.__ou need some help?_ the boy asked, his eyes lingering on my mouth.I shook my head no.__ww, come on. That__ way too heavy for you.__e came closer, and again I cursed our natural appeal. I wasn__ in danger exactly, and I knew that, but it didn__ make these encounters any less uncomfortable. I shook my head again.__o, really, which floor are you on? I can____ey, Kahlen!_ I looked up to see Akinli walking down the hall. His button-up was open over the gray shirt beneath it, but I was thrilled to see that he__ at least put one on. __ was starting to worry. Hey, Sam.___ey._ The boy gave Akinli a look and headed toward the stairwell, his displeasure at Akinli__ arrival clear. In the meantime, I felt my mood lift significantly. I was now officially on my first date.

The fire alarm went off. Fire engines came racing; we all rushed out on the gravel drive, everyone thinking it was us. In fact, one of the elderly residents of Saltram had left a pan on the oven in her flat. Apparently this happens all the time. The tenant in question is appearing as an extra -- playing one of the cooks.

To begin cooking duck at one in the morning is one of the finest acts of madness that can be undertaken by a human being who is not mad.

. . to cook well and with imagination you have to be in a cheerful and contented frame of mind, and thus inclined to be generous.

As I stand there, staring absently at the stirring pot on the wall, I remember Greg__ words all those years ago: No one could create peace for me. Yes, I did the tough work to heal on my own. But in the process I__ missed the finer point. An insular life is just another wall. The realization rushes over me: There can be no peace without community. Real community _ people to count on, and who could count on me.

Many a death was precipitated by the food, the job, or the medication whose main function was to postpone it.

A chef__ magic is his ingredients, how he can substitute one for another, then break with convention by changing it all around again without once referring to the recipe. And then just at the death complete the beauty by adding another element never previously thought of. Well words are the writer__ sorcery, our dark arts and our sleight of hand. They__e our enchantment and our temptation. Sometimes both the chef and the writer overindulges himself and it gets out of hand, but that__ how we like it, it__ how we__e ghosted some of our best creations.

Your body is a Temple. You are what you eat. Do not eat processed food, junk foods, filth, or disease carrying food, animals, or rodents. Some people say of these foods, 'well, it tastes good'.Most of the foods today that statically cause sickness, cancer, and disease ALL TATSE GOOD; it's well seasoned and prepared poison. THIS IS WHY SO MANY PEOPLE ARE SICK; mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually; because of being hooked to the 'taste' of poison, instead of being hooked on the truth and to real foods that heal and provide you with good health and wellness.Respect and honor your Temple- and it will honor you.

We, in the interest of the so-called progress, have been persuaded to leave the production and at times the cooking of our food to companies whose owners and employees make a living by exploiting our busyness or laziness and our innate hunger to continue living.

She ate it and cried.Soon, he put the melting ice cream away."Shura," Tatiana whispered, "darling, forget what should have been. Remember all that was.""Tatiasha, babe," Alexander whispered, coming back to bed to be covered, "my one and only wife, forget our age, our splendid youth, forget it all and let our crazy love make us young.

Fanfare for the MakersA cloud of witnesses. To whom? To what?To the small fire that never leaves the sky.To the great fire that boils the daily pot.To all the things we are not remembered by,Which we remember and bless. To all the thingsThat will not notice when we die,Yet lend the passing moment words and wings.So fanfare for the Makers: who composeA book of words or deeds who runs may writeAs many who do run, as a family growsAt times like sunflowers turning towards the light.As sometimes in the blackout and the raidsOne joke composed an island in the night.As sometimes one man__ kindness pervadesA room or house or village, as sometimesMerely to tighten screws or sharpen bladesCan catch a meaning, as to hear the chimesAt midnight means to share them, as one manIn old age plants an avenue of limesAnd before they bloom can smell them, before they spanThe road can walk beneath the perfected arch,The merest greenprint when the lives beganOf those who walk there with him, as in defaultOf coffee men grind acorns, as in despiteOf all assaults conscripts counter assault,As mothers sit up late night after nightMoulding a life, as miners day by dayDescend blind shafts, as a boy may flaunt his kiteIn an empty nonchalant sky, as anglers playTheir fish, as workers work and can take prideIn spending sweat before they draw their pay.As horsemen fashion horses while they ride,As climbers climb a peak because it is there,As life can be confirmed even in suicide:To make is such. Let us make. And set the weather fair.Louis Macneice

Mother doesn't cook, Ignatius said dogmatically, She burns.

The best meals are those prepared by loving hands.

The English murder their meat twice: once when they shoot it, again when they cook it. 'Drôle, n'est-ce pas'?

[Y]ou can't control everything. Anything, really. Like the food we've been making. We can follow the recipe exactly as your grandmother wrote it, do everything exactly--or almost exactly--as she had, and the dish can come out so-so instead of amazing. Or it can come out amazing when you were expecting very little.
