VERY, VERY LATE.....OR IS IT 'VERY EARLY'?......SUPPER, IN BED........@ 4 AM..

Image
....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...

"PILEUP OMELETS" and "SMEARED TOAST" have displaced those polite coddled eggs, soft-boiled eggs in porcelain egg cups, and egg muffin cups of more formal dining days......

Image
Pile-ups seem to be the becoming, habitual, early morning fare.......here....a scrambled egg pile up with creamed avocados, shredded cheeses, pieces of sugar-cured ham, spinach, and this morning's 'mix' of ground spices and chopped yard greens.......to be spooned over a toasted croissant, smeared with apple butter........The same morning fare that I loved as a ten-year old, with the croissant having been substituted for toasted Tip-Top Bread or super-light baking-powder biscuits and avocado...for butter. . 24 hours later....more 'leftovers' atop yesterday's 'leftovers', some Thai vegetarian green curry, for 'today', dumped atop a bit of 'yesterday'.....so...what will be the 'bill of fare'....for 'tomorrow'?

Tom Earl's little hamburger steak with chopped scallions, pickle relish and ketchup.......

  Eaten, 'as is', with or without a slab of melting cheddar cheese, or on a toasted bun of many kinds......A favorite treat from my childhood.....it was served in school lunch rooms, as well as at just about every downtown 'country kitchen' restaurant and grill.......The version, pictured, here, was served at Sam J. Tummimello's Central Cafe ' ,  24 hours a day... 7 days a week,  for two quarters and a dime.....a step up from the  hamburger steak with grilled onions and a side of fries    ..at the Krystal on the Square.....
