...remember (I'm 75), and great food is always on hand. Unfortunately, you will not find butternut-squash dumplings, but the stuffed artichokes are to die for. And I still mourn the loss of Sloppy Louie's at South and Fulton streets, where I learned to eat fish. It served a bouillabaisse that was extraordinary. There were others, but why belabor the point? And that's only in New York City...
...explain the torment I experienced when my master's daughter visited with the first grandchild. I thought I was "top dog" since the kids moved out of the house, but now I am close to being an entrée in an exotic restaurant. Since this new arrival seems to eat constantly, I thought eating a loaf of bread and all the bagels might be endearing, but no. Chewing up the breast pump didn't go over well either.

...haven't tried burgers in the U.S., but this is the best one in Egypt," Randy Banna, a 25-year-old Cairene, agreed when I leaned over from my table to ask how he liked his cheeseburger. "It's not fast-food, where they cook it fast and you eat it fast. Here it's totally different." The culture clashes at Lucille's tend to be comical: Egyptian customers had a hard time understanding that a chicken-fried steak is a piece of beef, not poultry...
