THE INDIGNITY OF PHO CONSUMPTION.......

Image
Dining, alone, slurping down some Vietnamese Quasi-Vegetarian Pho....rice noodles cooked in a fish sauce broth with dried peanut worms, cloves, star anise, cilantro and cardamom......The Pho leads, immediately, to a slimy, watering nose, so...its better devoured in relative privacy....or behind an extended palm, lest any onlookers be grossed out by having watched others' sucking this stuff down, then blowing their noses and wiping their tearful eyes...... addd add some of these delicious, if slimy, accoutrements........Sipunculus Nudus....after, of course, , dissicating it for a few years....first......or, if you dare, just dumping the freshl-chopped unsegmented worms into your Pho............. I'm 'on' to the next 'thing'.......how about some Fish Sperm Sacs.....Sapporo style?

LIP-GREASINGLY MOLTEN CRUNCHINESS SENT TO THE GULLET IN A FLOOD OF CAFFEINE.....

Image
Guilty Pleasure: yet another 'cold weather' b'fast.....a crunchy grilled extra sharp cheddar cheese sandwich on 12-grain toast, fried in almond oil and butter.......Well, this IS a lip-moisturizer, isn't it?....and tastier than a Chap Stick.... "Only dull people are brilliant at breakfast!" [Oscar Wilde] The discovery of Caffeine caused a shift in early morning  attentions......Then, over the years, has become a mechanism to get humans accelerated into relatively dull forthcomings......I wonder how beavers can be so industrious on cold winter mornings, swimming icy rivers to knaw on frozen timbers.....Give Bucky a grilled cheese and a cup of Java...and he and his clan could built another Boulder Dam.....After this morning's intake of fat and java juice, I DID pick some lint from my pajamas! Perhaps, I need nicotine with the caffeine....and some harissa-infused tomato juice with tabasco sauce........

roasted eggplant roll

Image
simple satisfaction.......Chinese eggplant, soaked overnight in sea salt brine, then roasted until creamy, with some olive oil and fiery hot tomato salsa.....rolled into tandoor-baked naan, pan seared in ghee.....a 6am breakfast on the side porch, awaiting the little yellow and orange birds, disguised as fall leaves........pecking up the "matching" crumbs from the pop-up toaster.....
