“Maggie and I were delighted. It was now Jett's turn to go to the dark side. "I've never seen such a bunch of doom cookies," she said, wiping down the tables. "What?" "Doom cookies. You know, people who pretend to be something they're not, like girls in my class who pretend to be bad-ass but go home and read The Little House on the Prairie in their Disney princess bedrooms." "Who were the Pie Night people pretending to be? I don't quite follow." "They're pretending to be bad-ass pie bakers," Jett trilled in a church-lady falsetto, " 'Oh, leaf lard is the best.'

They probably don't even own a rolling pin." Jett sniffed. And then she added, diplomatically, "But your pie was good.”

“The martini is the supreme American gift to world culture.”

Martini Literary Critic

Author:Bernard De Voto

“A joke I used to know said that if you were planning a trip into the deepest wilderness you should pack a bottle of gin and a bottle of vermouth, and never open them unless and until you became hopelessly lost. Then, wherever you were, when you took your two bottles out of your kit bag, someone would come over the horizon and tell you how to make a better martini.”

“I'd help you bury the body too." The sweetest smiled touched her lips, the meaning behind my words not lost on her. And then she said, "That's good because there's probably going to be one sooner than later." I almost fan the truck off the road. "What?" "My stepmother, I'm thinking about offing her.”
