“I like a cook who smiles out loud when he tastes his own work. Let God worry about your modesty: I want to see your enthusiasm.”
–Robert Faarar Capon

Know what would be fun? Find an old homemaking textbook from the 1920’s or 1930’s, and quote it. They always have goofy stuff about pleasing your husband, canning and preserving, menu planning, but some really old-fashined things, too, regarding running a home.

“It seems to me that our three basic needs, for food and security and love, are so mixed and mingled and entwined that we cannot straightly think of one without the others. So it happens that when I write of hunger, I am really writing about love and the hunger for it, and warmth and the love of it and the hunger for it; and then the warmth and richness and fine reality of hunger satisfied; and it is all one.”
M.F.K. Fisher, The Art of Eating

“I have made a lot of mistakes falling in love, and regretted most of them, but never the potatoes that went with them.”
Nora Ephron, Heartburn

“Don’t let love interfere with your appetite. It never does with mine.”
Anthony Trollope, English novelist (1815-1882)

“There is no love sincerer than the love of food.”
George Bernard Shaw, Irish playwright (1856-1950)

“Your words are my food, your breath my wine. You are everything to me.”
Sarah Bernhardt (1844-1923)

“Wine comes in at the mouth
And love comes in at the eye;
That’s all we shall know for truth
Before we grow old and die.
I lift the glass to my mouth,
I look at, and I sigh.”
William Butler Yeats (1865-1939)
Irish dramatist, poet.
