While on the road, or a road:

“Pasta aglio e olio is my signature dish. Pasta with tuna and lemon is my initials dish.”
Both recipes appear in this post. And ten years later, I rediscovered the Village Voice clipping with aglio e olio.

[Fixing our dryer’s venting .]
“Do you think we can work together without both of us yelling at each other?”
“No, but I think we can work together without each of us yelling at the other.”
