"Necessity, to rewrite the old chestnut, is the mother of necessary inventions -- like ways to heat smoked meat when you don't have a steam table handy. But since inspired foolishness is the real hallmark of civilization, it wasn't long before we were inventing necessities. For instance, a dire need to roast a pork tenderloin on I-95 between Philadelphia and Providence." -- from Manifold Destiny: The One! The Only! Guide to Cooking on Your Car's Engine, by Chris Marnard and Bill Scheller (1989, Villard Books; ISBN 0-679-72337-4; LC TX652.M335; Dewey 641.5'8--dc2)
