Meanwhile, check out the sandwich below.  It’s a perfect example of beauty over function.  I love it!

Magnolias

When I was growing up in Louisville, Kentucky, there was a huge, magnificent magnolia tree in our front yard.  I’ve never forgotten it.  The satiny smooth white blossoms, the heady, intoxicating smell, the fuzzy brown undersides of its leaves… A few years ago I was walking in downtown DC with my brother, John.  We passed… Read More »
