I admire the courage and self-reliance it takes to start your own business and make it succeed.
I - I try to do as much as I can, wherever I am. So, at the farm, I'm always thinking of some new project, some new thing I can do.
Bloggers create kind of a popularity. But they are not the experts, and we have to understand that.
A lot of TV people buy more than one of an item, in case they spot or stain it, but I don't like buying duplicates - it's wasteful.
My new motto is: When you're through changing, you're through.
I have a microphone on one ankle and an ankle bracelet on the other, so I'm well balanced today.
I have cotton or flannel sheets, depending on the weather. They have to be ironed, and I get my bed changed nearly every day.
Over the years, I learned so much from mom. She taught me about the importance of home and history and family and tradition. She also taught me that aging need not mean narrowing the scope of your activities and interests or a diminution of the great pleasures to be had in the everyday.
I want to focus on my salad.
I support Alice Waters in her desire that there be a vegetable garden at the White House. I don't think they should rip up the Rose Garden, because that's something that I love. They should probably dig up another patch and grow some vegetables there.
I was married for 30 years. Isn't that enough? I've had my share of dirty underwear on the floor.
I was a very good cook, and I knew I could build a business.
I was a very curious person because of my parents. They encouraged me to be as curious about as many things as I wanted.
I love dessert. I can't be guilty about it because I have to taste everything. I experiment.
