More From Padma Lakshmi
- "One thing that happens when you’re pregnant is that as your stomach starts to stretch. It itches! So I have to keep my belly really lubricated. Every morning, there’s a buttering ceremony after I get out of the shower. It’s really like basting a turkey with body butter."

- "My mom was scared of the old Times Square so I was never allowed to go. Now I’m scared of the new Times Square, so I still never go."
