Food Quotes:
I bake all the time, but I don't like to eat the cookies when they're done. I just like the dough.

Food is an important part of a balanced diet.

We plan, we toil, we suffer - in the hope of what? A camel-load of idol's eyes? The title deeds of Radio City? The empire of Asia? A trip to the moon? No, no, no, no. Simply to wake just in time to smell coffee and bacon and eggs.
J.B. Priestly
A dessert without cheese is like a beautiful woman with only one eye.
