"Log-Rolling" is a word in LAW AND LEGAL
A mischievous legisla-tive practice, of embracing in one bill several distinct matters, none of which, perhaps, could singly obtain the assent of the legis-lature, and then procuring its passage hy a combination of the minorities in favor of each of the measures Into a majority that will adopt them all. walker v. Griffith, 60 Ala. 369; Com. v. Barnet, 199 Pa. 161, 48 Atl. 976, 55 L. R. A. 882; o’Leary v. Cook County, 28 111. 534; St. Louis v. Tiefel, 42 Mo. 590
The secrets of the kitchen were revealed to you in stages, on a need-to-know basis, just like the secrets of womanhood. You started wearing bras; you started handling the pressure cooker for lentils. You went from wearing skirts and half saris to wearing full saris, and at about the same time you got to make the rice-batter crepes called dosas for everyone’s tiffin. You did not get told the secret ratio of spices for the house-made sambar curry powder until you came of marriageable age. And to truly have a womanly figure, you had to eat, to be voluptuously full of food. This, of course, was in stark contrast to what was considered womanly or desirable in the West, especially when I started modeling. To look good in Western clothes you had to be extremely thin. Prior to this, I never thought about my weight except to think it wasn’t ever enough. Then, with modeling, I started depending on my looks to feed myself (though my profession didn’t allow me to actually eat very much). When I started hosting food shows, my career went from fashion to food, from not eating to really eating a lot, to put it mildly. Only this time the opposing demands of having to eat all this food and still look good by Western standards of beauty were off the charts. This tug-of-war was something I would struggle with for most of a decade.
