morning 'not-Italian' Pasta .......with a crab-like creature....hexagonal breaded parmesan crabcake with sculpted crab legs, smeared with Thai red curry paste.... atop fresh spinach fettuccini, cooked in vegetable broth with finely-chopped cilantro and parsley........ My Kitchen......Few Rules.....

             Fortunately, Trader Joe's had a package of no mess/no bother, microwaveable frozen eggplant parmesan.........so, Satisfaction was nearby! ....

a disk of deflating, puffy Paratha, cooked in an oiled, hot cast iron skillet, then anointed with smears of roasted garlic and onion jam before being piled up with spinach and paneer cheese, aka "Palak Paneer", and some sliced cherry tomatoes.....   Rolled up....if you can....or devoured with a knife and fork...or, if you dare...eaten like a Pizza.....I risked the roll-up, slicing the 'Roll' with a razor-sharp Damascus steel paring knife, then devoured the slices, without staining my buttoned white dining gloves....  A feat that requires both 'knife skills' and Level 4 Dining Etiquette Training , courtesy of  Zack MacLeod and Emily Post.

           Most...well, just about all Americans, find 'eating bugs' repellent and disgusting.....We are the only flesh-eaters that have this distaste........Bugs are plentiful and are a cheap source for protein and minerals.... May I, at least, offer you some chocolate-covered ants or grasshoppers?  Crickets? How about some crunchy termites, then?   

having passed out from my earlier carb-fix........a return to 'Balance' for a 1PM switch-up.....green leafs and Ga. fruit......atop a skillet-fried German potato pancake...a Kartoffelpuffer.....hold the applesauce....since I'd have to make that from red delicious apples.....not!
