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

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.. .

and, to make it 'total', the eaglet's chicks'  rosemary and herb-crusted livers, were bowled up with  quinoa salad ...... cranberry, yellow raisins & cinnamon stick preserves, mortar & pestle-ground dried herbs, cilantro and spicy tomato ketchup......served with chocolate/toasted coconut Java....presented across the fallen Hindu Demi-God, The Lord Arjuna's oxidized bronze back and shoulders.....and eaten with French Silver Claw and Talonware......
