We have newsreaders behaving like actors, lowering their voices if it's a sad story, as if we didn't know it's a sad story. There isn't a single cool newsreader.
You can change your world by changing your words... Remember, death and life are in the power of the tongue.
The constant movement of a military life can be tough on children. My father was an officer in the army, and I was forced to change elementary schools six times.
When I started cooking the meal at home, after I had started cooking in restaurants, I usually would prepare bay scallops or lobster.
What I have always liked about Brighton is its impersonality. Since the 18th century, people have come, used the place and gone home again.
Working in an office with an array of electronic devices is like trying to get something done at home with half a dozen small children around. The calls for attention are constant.
Home has always been one of the most important things. If I don't feel at home in my space, then I feel really unmoored.
The range of ingredients available to home cooks has expanded dramatically. People are incorporating herbs and spices like lemongrass, smoked Mexican chile, sumac, and za'atar mix.
Many people struggle to make hummus that lives up to their expectations at home, and recreating a favourite brand or the stuff from your local deli is almost impossible.

Yep, I'm a geek. Ever since I got the Millennium Falcon for Christmas in 1978. And I still have it, in perfect condition, just without the box... but I still play with it!
I think the people who are making Christmas-themed movies today feel that people are more cynical about Christmas. There's more of an edge.
There is a lot to celebrate about that little Babe who was laid in a manger. Christians celebrate Christmas because they are thankful for the promise of salvation, which was delivered in human flesh and named Jesus.

I like, 'I Believe In Father Christmas' - that is one of my favorites it is a lovely composition; 'Colder Than Winter' as well. There are so many beautiful songs.
I stopped believing in Santa Claus when I was six. Mother took me to see him in a department store and he asked for my autograph.
