When I read the pilot 'for Married with Children' it just reminded me of my Uncle Joe... just a self-deprecating kind of guy. He'd come home from work and the wife would maybe say 'I ran over the dog this morning in the driveway'. And he would say 'Fine what's for dinner?
But you know they don't enjoy the dinner hour together. It's just not as much of a ritual at night and it's interesting. I think the ritual is taking place perhaps more in the morning.
In order to have good fried chicken you should wash and season the bird the morning you're preparing it for dinner. Don't wait and do it right before you start cooking. Throw it in the refrigerator seasoned that morning and give it a chance to soak up all the salt and pepper and goodness.
If I go on dates my mom is always with me. She's always there making sure I'm all right. Like if I go to see a movie with a boy she'll go to dinner next door.
My mom cooked pot roast with noodles and frozen vegetables. Or she'd make spaghetti or hot dogs, or heat up TV dinners. Before I started modeling at age 19, I was 5'8" and weighed 165 pounds.
Dinner 'conversation' at the Cohens' meant my sister mom and I relaying in brutal detail the day's events in a state of amplified hysteria while my father listened to his own smooth jazz station in his head.
You don't realize how hard it is to live on your own. But there's no mom to do your laundry and make you dinner and to do things for you and you don't think about little things like buying paper towels and salt.
It's about getting the kids up and fed getting one to school getting the other down for a nap going to the grocery store picking one up from school getting the other one down for another nap cooking dinner... I live my life at these two extremes. I'm either a full-time stay-at-home mom or a full-time actress.
We sleep in separate rooms we have dinner apart we take separate vacations - we're doing everything we can to keep our marriage together.
Marriage is a feast where the grace is sometimes better than the dinner.
A bachelor's life is a fine breakfast a flat lunch and a miserable dinner.
My mother was making $135 a week but she had resilience and imagination. She might take frozen vegetables cook them with garlic onion and Spam and it would taste like a four-star dinner.
I met Elton John at an Interview dinner and we just sort of became friends. He's got such a wicked sense of humor.
When he is late for dinner and I know he must be either having an affair or lying dead in the street I always hope he's dead.
I love my parents. But I'm almost 28 and it's not fun to be asked 'What are you doing today? What do you want for dinner? When are you going to be home?' It just makes you feel like a kid. It's this juxtaposition of feeling annoyed and really lucky to have people who love you so much.
I just moved into a new house so I love spending time at home. Everything for me is all about self-care because I really feel that if I'm at my best than I'm able to come to my job and really be feeling the best so if I'm not working out or going on a hike than I'm at home recharging and cooking dinner and hanging out with my cat.
I'm kind of a dork. I don't have much game. I'm not particularly comfortable in bars or clubs. I much prefer being home playing Scrabble having dinner with a couple friends going to see a movie or losing a whole weekend to Season 14 of Law and Order or The Simpsons.
I'm an afternoon tea type of girl. I come from a Russian background where we love our teas. So between lunch and dinner after training I come home and I love a nice cup of tea with jam in it as we drink it there. Black English Breakfast with raspberry jam is my favorite.
I'm the type of woman you might say is too good. I'll massage a man's feet have dinner cooked when he gets home. But once they leave the door is closed and the locks are changed.
As much as I would love to be a person that goes to parties and has a couple of drinks and has a nice time that doesn't work for me. I'd just rather sit at home and read or go out to dinner with someone or talk to someone I love or talk to somebody that makes me laugh.
For years my wedding ring has done its job. It has led me not into temptation. It has reminded my husband numerous times at parties that it's time to go home. It has been a source of relief to a dinner companion. It has been a status symbol in the maternity ward.
There is just no comparison between having a dinner date with a man and staying home playing canasta with the girls.
My body is like breakfast lunch and dinner. I don't think about it I just have it.
King Louis Philippe once said to me that he attributed the great success of the British nation in political life to their talking politics after dinner.
I think cookies are sort of the unsung sweet you know? They're incredibly popular. But everybody thinks of cakes and pies and fancier desserts before they think cookies. A plate of cookies is a great way to end dinner and really nice to share at the holidays.
A man is in general better pleased when he has a good dinner upon his table than when his wife talks Greek.
I think a gentleman is someone who holds the comfort of other people above their own. The instinct to do that is inside every good man I believe. The rules about opening doors and buying dinner and all of that other 'gentleman' stuff is a chess game especially these days.
There is only one difference between a long life and a good dinner: that in the dinner the sweets come last.
Every President that went to China I would meet them and have dinner and talk about the past and the future. That was in the '70s.
At home in L.A. Sunday is lazy. It's the wife and me lying in bed with coffee watching 'The Soup' or something funny on TiVo. The kid will occasionally join us. Eventually breakfast is at a place down the street called Paty's. And we always have some kind of great dinner - my wife makes a great roast beef.
