Well said, Sue.  Time to start thinking about what new recipe I'll try this weekend...

"You cook for family, you cook for love, you cook for passion, and it comes through the moment the food hits your mouth. It’s like, 'I’m home.'”
-Sue Torres, Chef at Sueños, New York

Albert Camus

Being that today is St. Patrick's Day and I am from a city with pretty much the craziest St. Patty's celebration ever, I've got debauchery on the brain...

“True debauchery is liberating because it creates no obligations. In it you possess only yourself; hence it remains the favorite pastime of the great lovers of their own person”

-Albert Camus

Roald Dahl

“And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.”

-Roald Dahl

Oscar Wilde

The weather has finally [slightly] warmed in NYC.  Though it may not last, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that spring has indeed sprunch and I can at least start thinking about putting my huge down coat away and pulling out more fun attire.

“Beauty is a form of genius - is higher, indeed, than genius, as it needs no explanation. It is of the great facts in the world like sunlight, or springtime, or the reflection in dark water of that silver shell we call the moon.”

-Oscar Wilde

Calvin and Hobbes

Ready to shut my brain off for the weekend...

"-I've been thinking, Hobbes--
-On a weekend?
-Well, it wasn't on purpose"

-Calvin and Hobbes

Charles Schulz

After yoga last night, I'm feeling very calm today - not a care in the world!

“Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It is already tomorrow in Australia.”

-Charles Schulz, "Peanuts"

Dr. Seuss

It's a Monday, and I thought this quote would give me the energy I need to start the busy and stressful work-week after a relaxing weekend.

“You have brains in your head.  You have feet in your shoes.  You can steer yourself in any direction you choose.  You're on your own.  And you know what you know. You are the guy who'll decide where to go.”

-Dr. Seuss
