I'm not sure if it was the casserole I disliked or the repetition of eating it many times in one week. By the third night, the whole family complained, to which my mother, Ruth, responded in amazement, "But it's from the James Beard cookbook!" To me, at 12 years old, that only meant I didn't like James Beard, whoever he was. — Nancy Hawley
