Teddy Fare (Unpub)

     You agree'd to make piles of fried rice…? 
You need heed a Rough Rider's advice. 

     President Theodore Roosevelt's most-frequently 
quoted maxim must surely be his famous 

     "Walk softly and carry a big stick."
 
     Less widely known is his counsel to a young 
Asian-American pal and fellow hero of the charge 
up San Juan Hill, a counsel consisting of advice 
regarding the successful prep of what would 
become this friend's -- indeed, this future White 
House chef's -- signature dish: Colonel Roo's 
Felt Chicken:

     "To carry this off, Li Yan, stick with a big wok!"
