Talking To Other People While You're Cooking,

I'm Most Comfortable In T-shirts, But They Have To Have Some Style To Them.

Food Was Always A Big Part Of My Life. My Grandfather Was One Of 14 Kids, And His Parents Had A Pasta Factory, So As A Kid, He And His Siblings Would Sell Pasta Door To Door. After He Became A Movie Producer, He Opened Up De Laurentiis Food Stores - One In Los Angeles And One In New York.

I Lost My Brother When He Was 30, And That Was Devastating For Me. I Don't Know If I Will Ever Get Over It.

I Write Everything Down. I E-mail The Second I Think Of Something, Or I Write Notes In My Blackberry Calendar. I Set Up Reminder Alerts On My Phone. And I Have A Notebook By My Bedside So I Can Write Down Any Last-minute Ideas.

Every Time I Think I Have Something Under Control, It Changes And I Don't Have It Under Control. I Think It Takes Several Years To Get There. Jade Is 19 Months Old, So Right Now I'm On Alert All The Time. And As A Mom I Think You're Constantly Worrying About Things.
