I just pointed out that there was a bloody war on, and that I intended to avenge my pals. — James Ira Thomas Jones
And, indeed, is there not something holy about a great kitchen?... The scoured gleam of row upon row of metal vessels dangling from hooks or reposing on their shelves till needed with the air of so many chalices waiting for the celebration of the sacrament of food.
