There is great value in being able to say 'yes' when people ask if there is anything they can do. By letting people pick herbs or slice bread instead of bringing a salad, you make your kitchen a universe in which you can give completely and ask for help.

Good-bye to you, miss, and good-bye to this horrible country of yours!
