"I've never cared for typical fancy restaurants and eateries, and I care even less so for table manners. Give me a little bread, make it crusty, a little soft cheese, a little wine to get tight with, and then sure enough you'll find me down by the nearest cool stream on a hot summer day ‘rejoicing in our blessings'.
Maybe under the shade of a tree with a beautiful Spanish woman; our lunch laid out on old newspaper, she's brought chicken drumsticks and hard-boiled eggs from Cardamone's in Fairfield, a little salt (careful not to eat too much while she is watching), the moisture beading on the bottle of wine after I had earlier rested it in a cold spring and now it's as cold as ice and tastes like rusty metal.
