The lusts of the flesh can be gratified anywhere; it is not this sort of license that distinguishes New York. It is rather, a lust of the total ego for recognition, even for eminence. More than elsewhere, everybody here wants to be somebody.”

“Pumpkin blondies with dark chocolate chips, pecans, fall spices and full of pumpkin flavor…”
I’m not sure what’s worse; starting and finishing the entire season of MasterChef America in one day’s time, or being inspired by all these ‘amateur’ cooks to make tons of delicious (and probably fattening) food. I’ve always been fond of food network or any other network who has presented me with a cooking show or competition. It wasn’t until I watched MasterChef that I decided to take cooking to another level and utilize my creativity in a whole new way. My dainty (putting it nicely) kitchen doesn’t know what’s coming!

“In the present argument, friendship is not an emotion, but a practice, a set of hard-won, complicated habits that are used to bridge trouble, difficulty, and differences of personality, experience, and aspiration. Friendship is not easy, nor is democracy. Friendship begins in the recognition that friends have a shared life - not a “common” nor an identical life - only one with common events, climates, built-environments, fixations of the imagination, and social structures. Each friend will view all these phenomena differently, but they are not the less shared for that. The same is true of democracy. The inhabitants of a polity have a shared life in which each citizen and noncitizen has an individual perspective on a set of phenomena relevant to all. Some live behind one veil, and others behind another, but the air that we all breathe carries the same gases and pollens through those veils. More important, our shared elements (events, climates, environments, imaginative fixations, economic conditions, and social structures), when considered at the political rather than the private level, are made out of the combination of all our interactions with each other. We are all always awash in each other’s lives, and for most of us that shared life, recorded as history, will be the only artifact we leave behind.”
