When you're young, you think that clothes are almost magical, and that if you wear the right thing - to school, to the prom, on the date, etc. - something's going to happen.

Food was supposed to be a slightly bigger part of 'Heartburn,' and it actually didn't turn out to be because of me.

Everybody dies. There's no avoiding it, and I do not believe for one second that butter is the cause of anyone's death. Overeating may be, but not butter, please. I just feel bad for people who make that mistake. Nora Ephron avoidbadbutter share on social
I use those medical gloves that fit very tightly and are disposable for all chopping - peppers, onions, garlic, etc. Very Lady Macbeth, I think. Nora Ephron chopdisposablefit Change image and share on social
