As you know, I love quotes.  Funny quotes, serious quotes, quotes taken from television shows & movies…  And every time I’m working on a new book or am anticipating a new book’s release, I love to collect any quotes I see or hear that seem appropriate for that story.

Now, if you’ve been paying attention, you may have spotted some quotes associaed with HER LITTLE SECRET, HIS HIDDEN HEIR in the WIPs sidebar or posted on Twitter & Facebook.  I do that sometimes to amuse myself, & hopefully to amuse you. :kittylaugh

But what if you missed them?  What if you missed a really good one?  Well, that’s why this is my blog…um, I mean, Mistress Heidi‘s blog…  It means I can post them all together, all over again, for our continued enjoyment.

So here we go…  Quotes that seemed just perfect to me for Marc & Vanessa’s story:

“Are you casting asparagus on my cooking?”
~Curly Howard

“There is one thing more exasperating than a wife who can cook and won’t and that’s a wife who can’t cook and will.”

“My mother was a good recreational cook, but what she basically believed about cooking was that if you worked hard and prospered, someone else would do it for you.”
~Nora Ephron

“My mother didn’t really cook. But she did make key lime pie, until the day the top of the evaporated milk container accidentally ended up in the pie and she decided cooking took too much concentration.”

~Marie-Antoine Carême

“She did not so much cook as assassinate food.”
~Storm Jameson (Margaret)

“I don’t believe in low-fat cooking.”
~Nigella Lawson

“I don’t like food that’s too carefully arranged; it makes me think that the chef is spending too much time arranging and not enough time cooking. If I wanted a picture I’d buy a painting.”

“Cooking is like love. It should be entered into with abandon or not at all.” ~Harriet Van Horne

“I hate coconut. Not the taste, the consistency.”

“Oh, yes, I can. A poison cookie, just like I tried with Earl a couple years ago. I mean, I still know the recipe—it’s just sugar, eggs, & poison.”

“Do not maketh carrot cake. The Lord hates carrot cake—it is the Devil’s food! But that doesn’t mean don’t make devil’s food cake—I love that stuff.”

“There’s nothing but burnt parts!”
(Desperate Housewives)

“Daddy musta been a baker, ‘cause that is a great set of buns.”

   I’ve recently caught a few episodes of “New Adventures of Old Christine” and my goodness, that show is FUNNY! :kittylaugh

   I love quotes too, am a big quote person. Sometimes I just walk around the house spouting random lines from movies. At which Mr. Lemmony frowns and says, “What?” And I say, “From Just Friends. Remember?” To which he usually just shrugs and goes back to what he was doing. :que

   I’m trying to think of a foodie quote… gimme a minute, I’m not yet through my cup of coffee… :sleeping

     Same here! No interested when the show was first on (never been a big fan of Julia L-D), then caught an ep & LMAO. Now I’m trying to catch up. It’s hysterical! :funny And whatever I didn’t like about JLD on Seinfeld doesn’t bother me with Old Christine. I actually like her now, I think! :knock

     Gotta give another “Same here!” to the spouting random TV quotes thing, too. I swear, 80% of the stuff that comes out of my mouth is recycled from TV. :ROFL I can come up with at least one TV/movie quote for almost any situation that crops up.

     Oooh, we should have a quote-off sometime. It’d be a blast! :tongue
