...time Bush arrived, he had been giving his speech, or a version close to it, for weeks. Mike Gerson, his speechwriter, had been pounding out draft after draft, delivering the first one almost two months ahead of time. Bush kept tweaking it and changing it. He turned one paragraph over to spokeswoman Hughes, a former Texas TV personality, telling her to improve it: "This is your moment. This is your moment."

Forget about your basic Greek salad; we're talking To Chaviari Tou Ftochou ("Poor Man's Caviar"), Ktapodi Me Skordalia (Octopus with Garlic Sauce) and Nistisimes Hortopites (Fried Greens Pies). Sprinkled throughout are Kremezi's homey observations: "My version is loosely based on a recipe I got from Gerasimos Konstantatos, a friend from Cephalonia.
