My girlfriend Siri is a food blogger, and we both love to entertain and eat. This is what happens when you're in your thirties: what was once a passion and real appetite for nightlife in New York City manifests itself into other things, like entertaining at home.

Carson Daly

John Steinbeck

We love but once, for once only are we perfectly equipped for loving.

Cyril Connolly
