While I was studying the frozen
food department of Gristede’s
one day, Mrs.
Elliott Carter came up and
said, “Hello,
John. I
thought you touched only fresh
foods.” I said,
“All you have to do is
look at them and then
you come over here.”
She said, “Elliott
and I have just gotten back
from Europe.
We’d sublet to some
intellectuals whose names I
won’t mention.
They had been eating those
platters with all sorts of
food on them.” I said,
“Not TV dinners?”
She said,
“Yes, I found
them stuffed around everywhere.”
