It seems that when I cook, I mean really, really, cook, there is not enough time to write. When I write, or at least when I write to the best of my ability, I do not have time enough to cook the way I want to. I am a food writer, so that creates a problem.

Ate at Kafe Neo yesterday. Vegetable omelet was not the way it was described on the menu. The vegetables were chopped so small that I could not tell what they originally were.

I need to spend an afternoon here. There are so many recipes that look fabulous. I want to save them all even though I don’t think I’ll ever cook them.

I collect recipes the way some people collect art. I collect them just to have them and know that they’re there.

I love food, but I love it way too much. If I cooked and ate everything I ever wanted to cook, I’s be so fat I’d have to lie in bed all day, if I could make it to the bed.
