Quotes edit see section history

  • “My grandmother died that weekend, and I think it was that mac and cheese that gave us the strength to carry on through the week that followed.”
  • “Before you even turn on the stovetop, put an ice cube in the pot and move the pot around so the ice covers every inch of the bottom as it melts. When the ice is entirely melted, leave the cold water in the pot and just add the ingredients to it. As long as you don't touch a metal spoon to the bottom of the pot as you stir throughout the recipe, the milk won't scorch the bottom of the pot.”
  • “Life is too short to eat food that doesn't taste good.”
