...Liverpool 30 and 40 years ago, mystery resides in the vision of his mother, magically poised on the hall sill, washing the outside windows ("Don't fall, Mom. Please don't fall").

And as everyone knows, the distance between the Rue de la Paix and the Pacific Coast Highway is measured not in flying hours but in light-years. Catapulted from the European fixation with the past into the Californian intoxication with the future, the returning expatriate felt he had been gone for half a century, and sometimes that he had been born yesterday...
...along the way. Mary Sue Milliken, who with her chef-partner Susan Feniger owns the Mexico-inspired Border Grill and the Oriental-eclectic City Restaurant in Los Angeles, recalls that in earlier kitchen jobs, "I insisted on hand-whisking 80 quarts of hollandaise sauce made with two cases of egg yolks...
