My anxiety is not that they do an inspection but rather
that they manhandle the thing when they do it. Yeah, so
I can think of all sorts of things terroristic to do with
a violin - play Love in Bloom, for example.

These things happen often. Sometimes I miss my scheduled
flight by seconds, which is of course worse. On my trip
earlier this month from Kansas City to Washington I missed
my connection in Chicago by moments because the first flight,
which had landed almost on time, couldn't get the cargo
unloaded because they couldn't get the conveyor belt working.

The processional after all being the chance for the bride
to show off how much she spent on the gown. ...

      Title: Michel Debost's Ratatouille
 Categories: Vegetables, Casseroles
      Yield: 4 servings
 
      1 lb eggplant
      1 lb zucchini
      1 lb tomato
      1 lb onion
      1 hd garlic
           -[!maybe he means
           -"clove," maybe not]
           Salt
           Ground peppercorns
           Bouquet of thyme & laurel
           -[5 sprigs thyme, 3 large
           -bay leaves]
      1 pt Olive oil
           -[!maybe he means "cup"]
           Deep cast-iron pan
           With lid
 
  Found - a recipe by one of the more famous musicians [flutists] in
  this world [my annotations are in square brackets] - (pronounce
  RATATOOY)
  
  Preparation time 1/2 hour. Cooking time 3 hours.
  
  Wipe (do not wash) vegetables. Slice eggplants lengthwise, salt and
  brown. Set aside. Likewise with onions. Peel tomatoes after dipping
  them in boiling water. Line pan with one layer of eggplant slices.
  [Crush, chop, and saute the garlic. Sprinkle on ad lib between layers
  ~ the original recipe lists garlic as an ingredient but doesn't say
  what to do with it, so I guess this is more or less right.] Then, in
  layers, add sliced tomatoes, zucchini, onions (salt and pepper).
  Halfway up add thyme and laurel bouquet, then again eggplant etc.
  finishing with one layer of eggplant. Cover and cook very, very
  slowly for 3 hrs without stirring. Upon serving, stir, remove
  bouquet, and add one beaten raw egg [optional!].
  
  Bon appetit Michel Debost Orchestre de Paris
