restore balance where there was despondency, the way a gentle spring
rain makes a dusty world sparkle again."

"Comfort food don't take us back to the womb, but to the period
shortly thereafter, when we were safely cradled and gently fed.
Fragrant stews, thick soups and bubbling gratins make us feel
safe, warm and well protected from the raging elements...and so
forget the stresses of a sometimes cruel world."
--Sue Kreitzman, Author of Comfort Food

"When the girl returned, some hours later, she carried a tray, with a cup of
fragrant tea steaming on it; and a plate piled up with very hot buttered
toast, cut thick, very brown on both sides, with the butter running through
the holes in it in great golden drops, like honey from the honeycomb. The
smell of that buttered toast simply talked to Toad, and with no uncertain
voice; talked of warm kitchens, of breakfasts on bright frosty mornings, of
cosy parlour firesides on winter evenings, when one's ramble was over and
slippered feet were propped on the fender, of the purring of contented cats,
and the twitter of sleepy canaries."
--The Wind in the Willows, by Kenneth Grahame

Nothing like getting into bed with a bowl of hot mashed

Nora Ephron. What is it about this name that is so compelling?
Isn't she some kind of arch conservative a la Rush Limbaugh. Gotta be
compelled by the name though.

"I guess this isn't really a peeve, just the misuse of the english
language. When you go to pay your bill at a restaurant and they ask,
"How was everything?" I always say, "I didn't have everything."
That always throws them off. Why can't they just ask how my meal was?"

Restaurateur Blasts Hygiene Obsession
LONDON (Reuters) - British restaurateur Terence Conran said Friday the
country's obsession with hygiene was making people sick.
``All sorts of rules and regulations and official bodies and bureaucracy are
now in place to prevent that legendary speck of dirt getting into our system,''
Conran wrote in a letter to the Independent newspaper.
``The result of all this hygiene is we become more and more sensitive to
illness and bacteria,'' Conran added, before apologizing for being a
``non-scientific Charlie.''
In his vision of the future, hygiene-obsessed Britons would drop dead after
eating couscous in Tangiers while the locals would be perfectly healthy,
Conran said.
Conran's comments followed an article in the Independent which asked:
``Why are we becoming allergic to modern life?.''
