I've been a fast eater all of my life. It's common for people to look at my plate and then ask, "Aren't you going to get some food?"
"I've already eaten," I reply.
They're often astonished.
My fast eating has incurred rebuke from some. Take Mom. She doesn't approve of my...

The other Francis could talk to animals, but this one seems to have eaten a few. Until recently the Pope prepared his own meals, and everyone who does this knows it results in cooking too much food.
A rotund pope: that puts me at ease. He’s a modest man; when he was a cardinal he didn’t have a car...

I was seven years old and auditioning to be the voice of the Russian commercial for an Italian chocolate spread. The director was desperately trying to drag more enthusiasm out of me. “Do you really, really like this chocolate spread?”

Nothing to report here. It's a melange of the usual, a pastiche of the normal. No drama or tragedy, rants, anger, resentment or hostility. No computer problems. It was a fine day.

I have received a ton of messages asking me what kind of foods I eat and what kinds of tricks work for me. I have to tell you, I really don’t believe in “one size fits all” eating or exercise plans, so maybe that’s the best place to start. I can share MY tips and tricks, but it’s...
