Thanksgiving Day, we do a huge lunch. Big family, like, 60 people, we get together. Everybody brings a covered dish, everybody brings a dessert, and we go all out.
Instead of standing in the way, technology is increasingly an enabler of emotion. A message at the wrong time at dinner can turn a gourmet dish into something insipid because of the interruption.
Not only is New York City the nation's melting pot, it is also the casserole, the chafing dish and the charcoal grill.
Listen to me: Leek is a vegetable. It can be the center of a dish.
With the combination of spending a fair amount of time on planes, having twins that go to elementary school, and generally living a lifestyle that is pretty high-stress, I have been known to run myself down quite easily, so I am pretty much a petri dish for germs, colds, and flus.
When I look at someone's face, there's something in my brain that just clicks - that breaks down their face into the elements that go into a caricature. It might be like the way a chef tastes a dish and can break down into elements what went into it.
Simple ingredients, treated with respect... put them together and you will always have a great dish.
We were in Philadelphia when Manager Pat shifted me from third to short, and right off the bat, I knew I had found my dish. Footwork was more a part of the new position than it had been at third. I suddenly felt I had sprouted wings. A world of new possibilities opened for me.
It seems to me that election season is just a Petri dish for anger and cynicism.
I genuinely don't like Los Angeles. L.A. is this little petri dish of lack of morality.
I say don't overreact; cool your jets. Focus on things that you can control: your business, your employees' welfare, your guests, and the quality of the product that you dish up. Do that, keep your chin down, pay attention to business, and the sun will come up tomorrow. That's the way I figure it.
I adore recipes that make use of one cut of meat or a whole animal to create a complex dish, loaded with flavour.
Keeping your space clean is as much a part of the end result as the dish being tasty.
I did enjoy cooking, I still do really enjoy cooking - I make a nice salmon dish, and I'm a huge meat freak, so I love to bang a few steaks on the grill or pasta. Anything Italian, really.
America is the world's engine but also its conscience. We are the petri dish of diversity and inclusiveness.
We had this thing at Stanford called the 'Campus Loop,' and then we had another run called 'The Dish,' and you'd run up to this giant satellite dish, which was probably extremely unhealthy. I would do those two runs, and I just found it so therapeutic. My girlfriends and I would have these great conversations about guys and school and life.
The visual aspect of a dish is so important; the shapes and colors and overall design have to strike the right mood and convey the right idea.
If you have some potatoes, green beans and cauliflower, you have a heck of a dish that can feed an entire family.
I tell everybody the same thing: You have to make every dish so when you taste it, you should remember it when you go home.
I have made this one dish, a salted caramel chocolate ganache tart. It's so rich. You can only have a few bites!
I like to make Arroz con Gandules, rice with pigeon peas. My husband loves it. It's a Puerto Rican dish my mother taught me.
Daddy was a salesman and away a lot, always working. My mom took me to the movies on Thursday nights because it was dish night, when they gave you a free dish along with your movie ticket.
I listen to 'deep dish house'.
My favourite dish is pollo ajillo; my favourite drink is a good Rioja with it. And as for my favourite music, oh God - there's so many things I like. Well, I'd say it's 'Walk of Life' by Dire Straits.
I love The Cheesecake Factory, especially the chicken marsala. I almost always pick that dish; it tastes unbelievable.
I want every dish to be a ten.
We say Paul Ryan was grown in a petri dish at the Heritage Foundation.
I enjoy watching talented cooks bringing together ingredients into a fabulous dish.
I love food: biscuits and gravy, cheese grits, spaghetti and meatballs, chicken-fried steak with white gravy... but my favorite dish is my wife's beanie weenie cornbread casserole. It's so good. It sounds stupid, but if you eat it, it's heaven. Of course, it's only something you can eat if you've got a lot of money.
They say revenge is a dish best eaten cold, but for most people, by the time it's ready to eat, they just don't fancy it any more.
Make a stir-fried rice dish with some cut-up chicken and any vegetables folded into the rice for a 'one pot' meal lunch that has it all - protein, starch and vegetables.
In any restaurant, my eyes alight first, as if by an atavistic pull, on the meat dishes on the menu. In any dinner party I throw, I think of the non-vegetarian dish as central. I view this as a combination of weakness, greed and moral failure. Someone please help.
If I were a customer, and I was given a dish with peppers, I would hate it. I also don't like blood sausage.
Every other piece of industrial design is a pot or a dish or something insignificant. But when you have a chair, it's like a sculpture of a person: it's alive. It's big. You can't miss it. It's a 'look at me!' item.
