My Extravagance Is My Garden - It's

People Have More Fun If They Don't Eat So Much They Have To Be Taken Home In An Ambulance.

I Learned That The Hardest Party To Pull Off Successfully Is Saturday Night Dinner. This Meal Is Expected To Be Elaborate: Appetizers, First Course, Dinner, Dessert, And Coffee. People Arrive At 7:30 Or 8 P.m. And Stay For Hours - Definitely Past My Bedtime - And They All Go Home Exhausted.

Never Let 'em See You Sweat. Guests Feel Guilty If They Think You've Worked Too Hard To Make Dinner For Them - Which Of Course You Have!

They Say That Gardens Look Better When They Are Created By Loving Gardeners Rather Than By Landscapers, Because The Garden Is More Tended To And Cared For. The Same Thing Goes For Cooking. I Only Cook For People I Love.

When I Thought My Professional Career Was Over, It Hadn't Even Started Yet.
