But when you persist, they confess to peanut butter and bacon sandwiches deep fried and eaten with hot sauce…” quote by Laurie Colwin

“Dinner alone is one of life's pleasures. Certainly cooking for oneself reveals man at his weirdest. People lie when you ask them what they eat when they are alone. A salad, they tell you. But when you persist, they confess to peanut butter and bacon sandwiches deep fried and eaten with hot sauce, or spaghetti with butter and grape jam.”
