"You don't use a cookbook, Tia Carmen?"

"I'm afraid the challah got a little burnt this week."

Party time.

'Aw, mom! How come I always have to eat at the kiddie carcass?'

'I'm thankful you didn't make turnips.'

How to make an unforgettable dinner for four

'I'll be conducting Mahler 3 as the guests arrive.'

"My client greatly regrets the incident with the carving knife. However, in her defense, 14 people were coming for Thanksgiving and her husband, who had just one job to do, bought only 8 rolls."

"I stuffed it with things found around the house."

'I couldn't find my measuring cups, so I had to kind of wing it with the stuffing.'

'You talk about her so much. Why don't you invite that Alma Mater of yours to dinner sometime?'

'This year, I thought I'd try a self-basting turkey!'

"Do I still have to sit at the kid's table?"

'Yuck! My creamed corn is polluting my mashed potatoes!'

'Your wife is right on that one. When you're invited to dinner, you take a bottle of wine as a token of your appreciation.'

You are what you eat.

So glad you could make it!

"This is sort of my little homage to the American farm woman."
