Vera Said: 'why Do You Feel You Have To Turn Everything Into A Story?' So I Told Her Why: Because If I Tell The Story, I Control The Version. Because If I Tell The Story, I Can Make You Laugh, And I Would Rather Have You Laugh At Me Than Feel Sorry For Me. Because If I Tell The Story, It Doesn't Hurt As Much. Because If I Tell The Story, I Can Get On With It.

Because If I Tell The Story, I Can Get On With It.

What I Love About Cooking Is That After A Hard Day, There Is Something Comforting About The Fact That If You Melt Butter And Add Flour And Then Hot Stock, It Will Get Thick! It's A Sure Thing! It's A Sure Thing In A World Where Nothing Is Sure; It Has A Mathematical Certainty In A World Where Those Of Us Who Long For Some Kind Of Certainty Are Forced To Settle For Crossword Puzzles.
