Tea time.....which is, usually, Coffee time.....at 2, before the 'real' teatime...at 4.....

                afternoon 'tea time'.......eggs with scallops, tumeric, herbs and cheeses.....on strips of toasted sourdough bread.......and an obligatory afternoon java with heavy cream.....and a dessert in the making, now ...for another teatime with a visiting friend, in just an hour.......walnut shortcakes with lemon curd, I think...with a reawakening pot of Earl Grey.

                   O.K., OPEN THOSE BIG MOUTHS..... W I D E ...... MORE. ....YOU ALL CAN TAKE IN THE WHOLE THING.....YOUR TWICE-FRIED POTATOES ARE STILL IN THE FRY FAT....GIVE IT A COUPLE OF MORE MINUTES, WHILE YOU SLURP DOWN THAT EXTRA-LARGE FAT SAL'S DELI'S  BIG FAT SHAKE. ....

MAKE IT UP AS YOU GO BIBIMBAP, NEITHER VERY 'KOREAN' NOR TOPPED WITH A FRIED EGG.......

  ..The last of the Bibimbap, loaded into a glass bowl....... and 'doctored up' with some revitalizingly sweet and hot condiments.......to enliven those early morning drowserdreams and quench somepyloric emptiness' growling for attention..

5 minute appetizers.........oil-cured tomatoes, topped with a pineapple ball and English walnut.... and purse-seine caught Portuguese sardines in chili oil on Ritz crackers....

I baked some not very beautiful, but tasty, something or the other croissants , stuffed with curried yams with butter, brown sugar, english walnuts, coconut, golden raisins, fresh Ga. peaches, sliced candied ginger, cardamom and tumeric.......I'm thinking of having them with a savory dipping sauce.....hmmm.....spicy roselle/mango chutney might work.....

LEST WE FORGET ELVIS PRESLEY......

late at night, I treated myself to a sugary Elvis Dessert of spongecake, marinated in booze, floating on waves of whipped cream.....and a Cheshire Cat pot of 'not sweet' tumeric and gunpowder tea....
