WHAT!.....REIS TOSSED THE UNEATEN TOMATOES INTO THE TRASH CAN AFTER THANKSGIVING!!
I DIDN'T WANT TO 'HOG' ALL THESE DELICIOUS TOMATOES.......BUT, I WAS THE ONLY ONE, I GUESS, WHO LOVED THEM......AND LAYED OFF TAKING MORE THAN 'MY FAIR SHARE', THINKING "EVERYONE WILL WANT SOME OF THESE!" ......
A 'MESS O' GREENS'.......IS 'GOOD FOR YOU'....YET......MOST AMERICANS DETEST MOST CRUCIFEROUS VEGETABLES, DON'T THEY?
J UST DRIZZLE SOME PRELIBATO VINEGAR OVER THIS "MESS OF GREENS"....EVEN TASTIER WITH SOME CRUNCHY, BUT LIGHT, WHITE CORNMEAL CORNSTICKS! https://foodfacts.mercola.com/collard-greens.html
roasted eggplant roll
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.....
Roly Poly Fish Heads .........keep on directing, Bill Paxton (May 7, 1955 - Feb. 25, 2017)!......but, I'll have some cornmeal-crusted fish head cakes with chutneyed cole slaw......by the way, here's Paxton's early directorial masterpiece...
THESE 'CAKES' WERE FAR TASTIER THAN FRANK ZAPPA'S 'FISH HEAD STEAKS'.....
POST-THANKSGIVING HEALTHY COMPENSATION....
Back to a temporary diet of whole grain oats, walnuts, grapes, roasted pumpkin and flax seeds, dried cranberries, yellow raisins, sliced mangos and black cherries in organic goat's milk yoghurt, sweetened with sourwood honey and Madagascar vanilla extract.....
this picnic 'fruitcake on the grass' was never mentioned in Jane Austin's novel.....nor would these ladies have been served from the pedestrian, mustard-colored plate like the one I utilized this morning....
Ginger tea, preserved orange and lemon peels in honey, with English walnuts atop chia seed, and cognac-marinated black raisin fruitcake fill the bill on a chilly morning......reconstructed from a taste-memory from last night's Muted-Colour Dream of High Tea at Harrods, 40 years ago......displacing a rather boring pre-dawn intention to have a poached egg on sourwood toast......demonstrating how dreams can enhance the ordinariness of a chilly, housebound morning, viewing...for the umpteenth time......Ang Lee's hyper-detailed romantic study of Jane Austin's "Sense & Sensibility"s focus on elegant dining at a well-appointed Table....guests, all in beautiful Jenny Beavan finery.......may I utilize your dessert fork, if you will, Zack MacLeod Pinsent, since you can, surely, nibble this...even while wearing white gloves?
