I am neverrrr forrrget the day...

When David Bouley, former Michelin five-star chef and restaurateur, now
a ridiculously wealthy bakery owner in New York, made tuna-noodle
casserole from everybody's mise-en-place for a staff meal. He started
with a creamy fish-stock-based allemande (bordering on sauce supreme,
actually), snagged fresh pappardelle from somebody's work station, wild
mushrooms from somebody else, tuna (probably day-old but otherwise
eminently viable), various other odds and ends, including a lot of
pommes gaufrette to crumble on top ('Ow you say? Cheeps for zee
tuna-noodle  en casserole!")

The man was a nut, but he always had a good time. I'm still convinced he
was the model for the Lumiere character in the Disney Belle et la Bete.
