Althouse: "Old Mr. Brown, a man I knew in Oakland, Calif., never ate anything but sandwiches."

"Ask him to a meal, pass the breadbasket. He put everything, from soup to nuts, between two slices. Evidently it was a lifelong obsession."

May I recommend a panini press? I ordered this one after Meade knocked the old one off the counter and down the staircase to concrete-floored studio. After using the new one, I said, "Thanks for breaking the old panini grill."

This is only available from mid July to mid August when the heritage tomatoes have been fresh picked.

Growing those tomatoes is a skill of olt timers.; 7/29/11, 5:11 PM

Couldn't just say the old one broke, could you?

California is between two slices now.

I don't really know what that means, but it sounds bad.; 7/29/11, 7:07 PM
