An eccentric French chef in the Moroccan desert obsessed with a children’s book made a dish I still think about twenty years later.

I'm mildly obsessed with The Siege of Paris and The Commune, so I was in history nerd heaven.

Julia Child lovers are going to really hate this. Also, I made some delicious Little Sheba cakes.

I once went on a date with a guy who asked me if I wanted to "come up and see his Peter Max." I had to ask whether or not that was a euphemism.

The image of Roderick Spode looking ridiculous is always the first thing I'm reminded of whenever I hear Mosley's name.

The guy had plenty of guts. Please imagine that line as being read by Thelma Ritter. It's the only way it really works.

I was laying utensils down for the main course. I had a steak knife in my hand at the time. I pointed this out to him quietly, telling him I'd never forgive myself if something terrible should happen. He left me alone after that.

You've written about him before. Or at least you've mentioned it to me. Cheers to brave grandfathers!

I didn't even know who he was at the time. I happy I didn't mask my contempt for Giuliani, who got a little handsy while day drunk on oaky Chardonnay.

I've had to take care of many billionaires in my day, most of whom were polite, but there's only one that I actually liked. Probably because he still remembered what it was like to starve in Nazi-occupied Greece.
