Shoestring Gourmet: Resting our Lipids

By Alan Gore

Since this month’s Gourmet date falls a little later than normal, we won’t be able to report on the April festivities yet. We know we’re going to have great Chinese at Glenn and Nedra’s, cuisine that we certainly won’t have to apologize for. Next month, many of us will be on the road, so we will be taking a May break from Gourmet.

Exciting changes are in progress at the Gore house. Now that I’m incorporated I have to have an Accountant, and what this means is that every cucumber we buy has to be examined for tax consequences before we toss it in the shopping cart. One of our new tax man’s discoveries was that we could save a bundle if we converted our home into a marine sanctuary. Dolphins leaping in the living room? A moray in the office closet? Coral in the bathroom? A kitchen island that’s a real island? All these amenities can be ours. The engineering problems associated with installation of a home marine sanctuary are formidable, but by the time the next Gourmet convenes at our house, you will see how well our efforts worked out.

Please remember: there won’t be a Gourmet in May. But if we meet at the Gore place in June or so, we’ll serve seafood.
