    Once on NPR I heard a segment about (I think it was) some event recognizing the birthdate of Auguste Escoffier. One of the attendees interviewed was gushing over the food - necessarily excellent, considering the occasion - in a reserved, slightly snobbish sort of way. She said, "Well, if you love foie gras...," she paused, and then added conspiratorially, "and who doesn't? ..."

    I don't remember what she said next, but that line has always tickled me, and I can't think of foie gras without remembering that sound bite like it was this afternoon.

    Regards,
    Rex.

    At any moment you must be prepared to give up who you are today for who you could become tomorrow.
