Georgia O'Keeffe, York Beach, Maine, May 11, 1922
"When we came home I picked some dandelions and we had a most festive supper - broiled fish - my dandelions chopped and mixed with mashed potatoes and boiled egg - The latter was my contribution - It's most wonderful - I remembered I liking it very much when I was a youngster and my experiment at making it worked very well - We also had cheese with sage in it and cucumbers with onions - I never had a stranger meal but we both enjoyed it - so did the cleaning woman..."
