Quote

"I was conceived on New Year's Eve, 1960, before cigarettes and scotch were replaced by Lamaze and sonograms. Parties are in my genetic makeup. I have a photograph of my mother, six months pregnant with me, at a Fourth of July cocktail party, a double scotch on the rocks in one hand, a Benson & Hedges 100 in the other, leaning back in a chair, midlaugh, a good time being had by all. I have always loved a party; I was born into it." - Robert St. John, "Deep South Parties"

I just love that paragraph, and so far I am really enjoying reading this cook book.
