“Sometimes you have to trust that the hard times, the pain and the tragedies in life have purpose. They may make no sense at the time, may bring you to your knees and you will wonder why this hell is happening and if you’ll ever get through it. But trust is your trajectory, sending you along your path, and if you listen, learn, heal and grow along the way, things will one day make sense.”
― Ina Garten, Be Ready When the Luck Happens

“Food is about nurturing: not only physical but also emotional nurturing.”
― Ina Garten, The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook

“(I know one fortunate little boy whose parents told him the facts of life so satisfactorily, he said in the next breath, “Now tell me how they make peanut butter.”),”
