I found an old copy of "Gourmet" magazine in the O'Brian's recycling. They stopped publishing. Gourmet. But I'll have a dynamite recipe for the potluck. All I see are parties of handsome youthes at rustic tables. Gourmet. They're all attractively enjoying the good life. None of them seem to have jobs. Gourmet. Perhaps that's why the magazine went out of business. Definately no one from our block.
