Sunday brought another wonderful obit from Douglas Martin of the New York Times - that of Elizabeth Tashjian.
Her father was a prosperous rug trader, and her mother came from an aristocratic family with a castle.Ms. Tashjian had a museum of nuts, in Connecticut. The 48 word first paragraph contains the word "nut" five times.
According to the obit, she had a late life career as a guest on TV and radio. For those appearances "she often took along her huge, disturbingly suggestive Coco de mer nut" which weighs 35 pounds and "resembles buttocks".
I could keep quoting, but maybe you should just go read it and raise a cocktail peanut to Ms. Tashjian.
