Cooking And Eating....“Dis-moi ce que tu manges, je te dirai ce que tu es”

Other than feeling the 'heat prostration' from a trip to The Carter Center Famer's Mkt., The DeKalb Farmer's Mkt. and the Patel Indian Grocery..........I'm 'stocked' up for a week of relative seclusion and quiet.........Alas, after lugging all these new foodstuffs around, I'm too exhausted to cook anything.........Since I'd never cooked Alosinae, I got a pound of shad roe, but left it at the Market, because it had been mislabeled, and was being 'scanned' as filet mignon......another week perhaps......So,,,,polenta/coriander cakes, it is! And that's all right with me....

                                  This box of calorie-laden Mediterranean  pastries.... Baklava , loaded with honey...                                     Best enjoyed with the strongest cup of Turkish expresso you can make......                                          Or, to save a few bucks and, perhaps, live longer without an insulin pump....go                                                 for the Dubai 'Snack Pack'.....  with a decaf expresso.                                     ...

LOCATED AT 2118 NORTH DECATUR RD. FOR OVER 40 YEARS.....RAINBOW WAS EDGED OUT OF THE COMPETITIVE FOOD MARKET BY NEARBY MEGA-GROCERS.  

                  I'M IN MY KITCHEN, ROLLING SOME SPONGE CAKE,  DRIZZLED WITH CONTREAU, THEN LOADED WITH WHIPPED HEAVY CREAM AND JUICY STRAWBERRIES, MARINATED IN A SWEET 'GOO' OF REDUCED LIQUORS....SO MUCH FOR HITTING THE SACK LAST NIGHT, WITHOUT HAVING AN AFTER-DINNER DESSERT!  

both the unsweetened cocoa powder and the walnuts hasten the chocolate iced cream's melt, so...grab a spoon, before it's a lumpy bowl of chocolate milk......give it a stir to blend in the cocoa, first.....after having added a jigger of Cointreau or Creme de Cacoa, or both....if you 'like it sweeter'.....

  Preparing to watch Jim Carrey's "MR. PICKLES" Series, " KIDDING ", again......I made an appropriate pickle stew to accompany the Jiggly Wiggly jello with pickled duck breasts on a Toe Jam & Rock Lobster Confit , plated with spit balls from the corners of Justin Kirk's laughing lips.......Now, 'how do I get my paw outta this padded, fireproof cooking mitt?'
