Oct. 23, 2007 - Old Grey Lady plays on obit page

they did it on purpose
I usually look at the NY Times obituary page, and often read it. (I learn so much there.) Props to a buddy for pointing me towards it today, before I had gotten a chance to look.

There are only two 'featured' obits today, and they clearly got it, as one refers to the other. Bless their wry hearts.

Headline 1: "Peg Bracken, 'I Hate To Cook', Author, dies at 89".
Headline 2: "Vincent DeDomenico, 92, an Inventor of Rice-A-Roni"

May they rest in peace. May they enjoy easily prepared feasts. THX Chet!

I never thought an obit headline would make me smile! Thanks for that! I wonder if they ever met?

Cheers!

Interesting obituaries.  I don't know that I had ever heard of Peg Bracken or her book... but it is funny how hers mentions his.  Rice-A-Roni I have heard of!  I probably never actually had it as a kid but I loved the jingle.
