ANOTHER DELICIOUS SANDWICH....HOWEVER, NOT SUITABLE FOR POLITE, WHITE-GLOVE FINE DINING

Image
                        FROM 7:00....CLOCKWISE.... HOLLOW OUT A FINE-TEXTURED BLACK POPPYSEEDED KAISER ROLL, FEEDING THE REMOVED BREAD, WHICH SHOULD BE AT LEAST HALF OF ITS INTERIOR, TO THE YARD BIRDS AND OTHER CREATURES THAT ARE 'ON THE FEED' FOR WINTER-FATTENING-UP'.... SLATHER A GENEROUS AMOUNT OF BEARNAISE SAUCE....OR, IF YOU PREFER, SOME HUMMUS,  ONTO THE TOP PART OF THE ROLL. FILL THE HOLLOWED-OUT BOTTOM PART'S 'WELL'  WITH TEXAS CAVIAR,  COVER THAT WITH SLICED LARGE CHERRY TOMATOES,  THEN ADD A GENEROUS AMOUNT OF FRESH CORIANDER (CILANTRO) LEAVES.   EXERCISING SOME MANUAL DEXTERITY.....MANAGE TO UNITE THESE HALVES....OR FIFTHS, IF YOU NEED A REAL CHALLENGE,  INTO A 'SANDWICH', PRESSING DOWN UPON THE CONCOCTION WITH A FLAT BOARD OR PLATE UNTIL IT IS UNITED BY COMPRESSION..... TRY TO CONSUME THIS WITHOUT DROPPING VERY MUCH OF IT ONTO THE TABLETOP, YOUR LAP, OR THE FLOOR......THIS WILL TA...

in a 'lighter' mood, this morning, I went for the coconut milk and lime Siamese rather than the Caribbean version...... grateful that I didn't have to drive to a Thai restaurant to satisfy this morning's urge to purge my gut of Halloween candy's toxins.......how spicy can it get! I added a grated Scotch bonnet pepper,  ... to find out.....whew!                    Don't call ' the doctor '.....I'm just fine..... just bring me some double-Dutch chocolate iced cream....

No, thanks, guys!.....I'll just open a can of Luck's peas and boil some rice!

Image
                  As my friends head to a restaurant, just blocks away... to be served a half cup of peas, with a blob of tinned fish eggs, some fashionable oily drops and a sprinkle of dried herbs.....a glass of wine and a chunk of bread....to shell out $35 for Sunday Brunch.......plus tips to both the waiter & sommelier and   an obsequious parking attendant...Yet....these trendy eateries are packed with consumers every weekend...... Should I ' upgrade ' to Margaret Holmes ' seasoned black-eyed peas.....for an extra 75 cents?   

AFTER A LIFETIME OF HAVING 'CEREAL & MILK' A COUPLE OF TIMES EVERY WEEK FOR A LIFETIME......

Image
      Currently, the 'Mix' is one of Grape-Nuts, whole grain wheat flakes, yellow corn grits Honey Oak Crunch, sliced prunes...rolled in powdered and grated coconut, English walnuts, golden raisins....and, perhaps, sliced dried apricots and/or dates....swimming in a bowl of chocolate oak milk.......Such was the journey from Rice Krispies and whole milk, sprinkled with white cane sugar....as a child.....
