THE MASQUERADER
........I ran some seasoned and cooked fava beans and seasoned, skinned & boiled cassava roots through my ricer/foodmill and formed a patty to fry, with a spray of avocado oil, in an iron skillet, until it was crispy, outside, but creamy, inside.....The Result.....looked like a carmelized steak, but was totally Vegan........
Tea Time
4:00 Tea......in memory of my first 'Duchess of Bedford Tea' at Fortnum & Mason's, London......many years ago....... Poppyseed cake, marinated in orange liquor and flame-evaporated whiskey, with a topknot prune, marinated in apricot liquor.....accompanied by Vonbee honey & ginger tea.....
THE EVOLUTION OF "AUNT JEMIMA"
THE 'BLACK WOMAN'.....CONTINUALLY TRANSFORMED TO SUIT THE "CURRENT' IMAGE OF THE MODERN 'WOMAN OF COLOR'...... AS A CHILD, IN THE 1940'S AND 50'S, I NEVER GAVE MUCH THOUGHT TO THE CHARACTERIZATION OF OUR BELOVED 'AUNT JEMIMA'; AND, THINK THIS "MODERNIZATION" IS JUST MORE COMMERCIAL/POLITICALLY-CORRECT REINVENTIONS OF 'HISTORY'......THE 'PANCAKE MIX' REMAINS, PRETTY MUCH, THE SAME, DOESN'T IT?
