I just say, “happy merry everything.”

After nearly a year, this is what it’s come to. We had Christmas dinner at The Manor in NJ, which is a family place, and this drunk guy was wondering out loud — so loud that much of the dining room could hear — which one was the Antichrist — Kim Jong Un or Donald Trump. Surreal.

People really do worry about the most ridiculous stuff, while letting all the important stuff just float past them.

You do know that if that chair were in The Beast’s castle, it would’ve thrown Trump right onto the floor.

Ativan. Lowest dose. It worked wonders for me.

I’ve been on Lexapro (one step up from the original low prescription) for five years. I also take a small, twice-daily dose of Ativan, which I stockpile some months. (Mom spent a year in a nursing home, hated it, and passed in a non-peaceful way in October.) I can say, while these are not enormous doses, they have…

I don’t know either. Friends at Thanksgiving introduced me to a vape pen, but I wasn’t sure exactly what kind of pot was in it or how it’s turned into something one can vape. Would appreciate advice here. Also, I tried edibles for the first time at Thanksgiving (cookies), and while I love weed, I wasn’t comfortable…

I am After 59 years of not needing it.

It does seem rather surprising.

He’s Moby because he’s a direct descendant of Herman Melville, the author of Moby Dick. It’s not random. That would be weird.

I think the salumi is made by Batali’s father, who lives in Seattle.

I’ve met him. He is one cold dude. But I’ve heard the rumors as well.

He kicked your DOG?

I’ve met him several times as well over the years. He introduced me to his children, his wife. He was quite charming and even hugged me (in a completely non-gross way) after a benefit for the Babbo chef who lost his home when Sandy hit. Can’t say I’m surprised, exactly, but I am truly disappointed.

Heat was a terrific book. I particularly remember the anecdote of Batali showing up at one of Bill Buford’s dinner parties with several cases of wine and getting the guests so drunk that one of them tried dancing and fell over the couch.

Batali, personally, will not be responsible for any of “his” restaurants going belly up. There are too many of them, they are too good, and Joe Bastianich is his main business partner, who is perfectly capable of running things. I don’t think he’ll sell his interests at this point, but he’s going to be out of the…

Mario Batali is at least part owner of more than 24 restaurants. He is, for now, removing himself from the entire business. Did you go to Babbo? Because that place is damn exceptional. Trust the cuisine, not the creator.

As a woman, I cannot imagine what these women are thinking.

Rep. Conyers might want to pass on that whole family dynasty thing. His great-nephew is running against his son. We don’t need a real-life family feud at the moment.

John Oliver doesn’t usually have guests.
