People Think That I Don't

My First Memory Of The Rolling Stones Is Listening To 'satisfaction' At A Sixth-grade Slumber Party At A Friend's House In Ankara, Turkey, Where My Family Was Living At The Time. In The Middle Of Our Sleepover, My Friend's Dad Stopped The Record When He Heard The Words 'girlie Action!'

I Can't Stop Watching 'pan Am.' When I Was Growing Up, My Father Worked As An Engineer In Turkey, And We Always Flew Pan Am. The Stewardesses Were So Glamorous! When They Gave Me A Set Of Those Golden Wings, I Felt Very Grown-up. Not Only Is The Show's Plot Full Of Mystery And Infidelity, They Get The Period Details Just Right.

I Have An Impressionable Palate. A Well-worded Menu Or Beautifully Presented Dish Excites Me. I Get A Great Deal Of Pleasure Just Thinking About Food.

And, I Believe That One Of The Most Loving Things You Can Do Is Prepare A Meal For Someone You Love. None Of Which I Know How To Do!

I'll Do Almost Anything For Cake - Even Trample Little Children!
