Wisdom from a wealthy woman in the 1920s

"See if there is any bacon, and if there is, ask the cook which pan to fry it in. Then ask if there are any eggs, and if so try and persuade the cook to poach two of them. It is better not to attempt toast, as it burns very easily. Also, in the case of bacon, do not turn the fire too high, or you will have to get out of the house for a week. Serve preferably on china plates, though gold or wood will do if handy." – Mrs. F. Scott Fitzgerald, replying to Florence Stratton’s request for a favorite recipe to be included in Favorite Recipes of Famous Women.

“The rich…are different from you and me.” – Mr. Zelda Fitzgerald in The Rich Boy.
