HUNGRY GERALD

My friend Andre of long ago was a lovable, irritating, manic gourmand, libertine and madman. He taught me a very valuable lesson. We Fire Island pot heads were looking, with distaste, at a large jumble of pots, pans and dishes following a very long, weed and alcohol infused dinner. Andre said: “This what you have to do about dirty dishes. Count to ten. Jump to your feet. Deep breath. Summon up every bit of your energy. And, attack..really attack..those dishes.” That’s what he did. Dishes, etc. were done in a flash. Have followed this technique many times. It works. Try it.
