Pizza Night
by Jeff Clement

Grab some dough, give it a toss.
Add some cheese, add some sauce.
Add more cheese, don’t be tight.
Let’s grab a slice… It’s pizza night!!!


The only job where the work is steady but the pay isn’t is housework.


Keeping house is like threading beads on a string with no knot at the end. 


Home is where the cat hair sticks to everything except the cat.

Einstein’s Three Rules of Work: 1) Out of clutter find simplicity; 2) From discord find harmony; 3) In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.


Hunger is the best sauce in the world.

I’m a man. Men cook outside. Women make the three-bean salad. That’s the way it is and always has been, since the first settlers of Levittown. That outdoor grilling is a manly pursuit has long been beyond question. If this wasn’t firmly understood, you’d never get grown men to put on those aprons with pictures of dancing wienies and things on the front…
~ William Geist


Recipes are like poems; they keep what kept us. And good cooks are like poets; they know how to count.
~ Henri Coulette

~ Julia Child


When men reach their sixties and retire, they go to pieces. Women go right on cooking.
~ Gail Sheehy


Nothing would be more tiresome than eating and drinking if God had not made them a pleasure as well as a necessity.
~ Voltaire


Income tax returns: the most imaginative fiction written today. 
~ Herman Wouk


Death and taxes and childbirth. There’s never any convenient time for any of them. 
~ Margaret Mitchell
