First time (and only, I think) I had pan bagnat in Phoenix about 25
years ago, I loved it. Never made it.

Indian Summer

In youth it was the way I had
To do my best to please
To change with every passing lad
To suit his theories

But now I know the things I do
And do the things I do
And if you do not like me so
To hell, my love, with you.

-Dorothy Parker

It's my idea of perfect picnic food; it actually gets BETTER when it sits
for a while.

I sent this poem to DH this a.m. and watched him LOL when he read it. He
knows first-hand of what she speaks.
Thanks again for this poem. It lightened the load.

Marx brothers movie, Grocho is lecturing his son about bad grades at
school and when finished son says 'will there be anything further,
father?" and Groucho replies "shouldnt that be farther further?"
