"My worst habit in the kitchen is not allowing anybody to help me. I like to cook by myself. Tony calls me 'the crazy woman' at Thanksgiving. He says, 'Don't get near her; she's in her crazy mode.

We typically have about 20 to 25 people, family and friends, including all of the "homeless" basketball players on Tony's team who live too far away to go home for the holiday."
