Molly Jong-Fast, in her memoir 'How to Lose Your Mother', reflects on her complex relationship with her mother and her life as a political commentator. While her love of ice cream symbolizes childhood nostalgia, she struggles with the demands of a hectic schedule including early morning appearances and rigorous book tour events. Jong-Fast manages her health, particularly a weak vocal cord, through her diet of ginger shots and herbal lozenges, all while navigating the emotional landscape of motherhood and professional obligations.
I actually like cupcakes much more than ice cream, but I feel that ice cream is healthier for you, because it has milk in it.
I’m trying hard not to get it again by mainlining ginger shots. I prefer those from Pret a Manger because they’re not too strong.
One of my vocal cords is weak... it really means is that I'm more susceptible to laryngitis, which I got two weeks ago for a day, and it sucked.
Most of my meals these days are on the go. At the peak of the madness earlier this June, Jong-Fast spent a week eating bagels in the back of taxis.
