I Truly Have A Love-hate Thing With

Thanksgiving Was Always A Favorite Holiday For Me. The Preparation Was Fun! My Grandma And I Would Walk To The Butcher On Jamaica Avenue In Queens, Order The Bird, And Buy All The Fixings At The Market.

I'd Love To Give My Girls A Traditional Thanksgiving With Turkey And All That Jazz, But We've Raised Them To Love Tuscan Food So Much That They Don't Care For It. My Favorite Is A Nice Polenta With Beef Stew And Broccoli Rabe On The Side.

A Hero Is Somebody Who Is Selfless, Who Is Generous In Spirit, Who Just Tries To Give Back As Much As Possible And Help People. A Hero To Me Is Someone Who Saves People And Who Really Deeply Cares.

I Don't Like The Idea Of Things Being Off-limits To Kids - Like A Fancy Sitting Room Where They Can't Touch Anything. I Own Vintage Pottery Cups, And I Let My Girls Hold Them. It Teaches Them To Treat Objects With Respect.

Nobody Has Money Right Now. And Eating Is Very Important, But It Doesn't Need To Be Expensive. And To Make - It Doesn't Need To Be Fancy, As Long As It's Fresh And Simple. The Simpler It Is, The More Fancy It Actually Comes Out Tasting.
