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

                  I'M IN MY KITCHEN, ROLLING SOME SPONGE CAKE,  DRIZZLED WITH CONTREAU, THEN LOADED WITH WHIPPED HEAVY CREAM AND JUICY STRAWBERRIES, MARINATED IN A SWEET 'GOO' OF REDUCED LIQUORS....SO MUCH FOR HITTING THE SACK LAST NIGHT, WITHOUT HAVING AN AFTER-DINNER DESSERT!  

both the unsweetened cocoa powder and the walnuts hasten the chocolate iced cream's melt, so...grab a spoon, before it's a lumpy bowl of chocolate milk......give it a stir to blend in the cocoa, first.....after having added a jigger of Cointreau or Creme de Cacoa, or both....if you 'like it sweeter'.....

  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...

                            HARDLY ATTRACTIVE ENOUGH FOR AN APPETIZER COMPETITION ON MASTERCHEF.......BUT, TASTY AND FLAVOR-APPROPRIATE  ENOUGH FOR SNACKING, ABED, WHILE WATCHING THE FINAL 'LATE SHOW WITH STEPHEN COLBERT', LAST NIGHT.. .
