Illegitemus non carborundum est (“Don’t let the bastards grind you down”). - Julia Child

Une maison sans chat, c’est la vie sans soleil!” (“A house without a cat is like life without sunshine!”)

The German birds didn't taste as good as their French cousins, nor did the frozen Dutch chickens we bought in the local supermarkets. The American poultry industry had made it possible to grow a fine-looking fryer in record time and sell it at a reasonable price, but no one mentioned that the result usually tasted like the stuffing inside of a teddy bear.

A party without cake is just a meeting.
