BALFOUR 'APPLE-CINNAMON' FRUIT SPREAD......AND AN OBLIGATORY CUP OF CHOCOLATE CAPPUCCINO.....FOLLOWED BY A RETURN TO 'UNDER THE COVERS' FOR 40 WINKS....BEFORE THE SUN RISES ABOVE THE HORIZON..

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.....

I awakened this morning with a craving for a platter of crispy-fried Eggplant Parmesan, covered with a marinara sauce, and molten mozzarelli cheese, garnished with chopped basil......

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.
