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

  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?'

.a 'switch-up' from Mozzarella and Uglis.....a matter of tastes/need for variety= (in the fortunate kitchen) innovation and change......and a diversification from habitual chow......

....and, to think...'growing up'.....dining was part of 'clockwork'....b'fast @ 7, lunch @11:30-1, dinner @ 7-8.......and 'supper' at midnight......Lunch was once the 'big meal'......and Supper was a bowl of cereal with fruit......to supplement the 'then' lighter dinners.......Now, the only 'regular' feature of my eating habits is a cup of java, soon after awakening.......No 'dinner at 8' generally leads to awakening from slumber, a bit ravenous, and devouring some of the many 'leftovers' in the fridge...

Pile-ups seem to be the becoming, habitual, early morning fare.......here....a scrambled egg pile up with creamed avocados, shredded cheeses, pieces of sugar-cured ham, spinach, and this morning's 'mix' of ground spices and chopped yard greens.......to be spooned over a toasted croissant, smeared with apple butter........The same morning fare that I loved as a ten-year old, with the croissant having been substituted for toasted Tip-Top Bread or super-light baking-powder biscuits and avocado...for butter. . 24 hours later....more 'leftovers' atop yesterday's 'leftovers', some Thai vegetarian green curry, for 'today', dumped atop a bit of 'yesterday'.....so...what will be the 'bill of fare'....for 'tomorrow'? I was just 'wondering' ....."what do most folk have for breakfast?....by the numbers.....as in 'what they eat, most mornings', while still in bedclothes.........This, and its many variations, is my...
