Sugar Pie Honey

Famous quotes containing the words sugar, pie and/or honey:

    ‘Tis the voice of the Lobster; I heard him declare,
    ‘You have baked me too brown, I must sugar my hair.’
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    Rice and peas fit into that category of dishes where two ordinary foods, combined together, ignite a pleasure far beyond the capacity of either of its parts alone. Like rhubarb and strawberries, apple pie and cheese, roast pork and sage, the two tastes and textures meld together into the sort of subtle transcendental oneness that we once fantasized would be our experience when we finally found the ideal mate.
    John Thorne, U.S. cookbook writer. Simple Cooking, “Rice and Peas: A Preface with Recipes,” Viking Penguin (1987)

    A kiss is but a kiss now! and no wave
    Of a great flood that whirls me to the sea.
    But, as you will! we’ll sit contentedly,
    And eat our pot of honey on the grave.
    George Meredith (1828–1909)
