THE TRADITIONAL, DE FACTO SEGREGATION OF POTENTIAL COMBININGS

                 NOSE-RINGS THE VAST MAJORITY OF PEOPLE....(FOR THIS EXAMPLE, I'D EXCLUDE THE FRENCH, OF COURSE)....INTO COMPLIANCE WITH 'THE FAMILIAR'.. THIS MORNING'S 'TASTE TEST' WAS A SLICE OF TOASTED SOURDOUGH BREAD, HALF OF WHICH WAS SPREAD WITH NUTELLA NUT BUTTER AND THE OTHER HALF WITH LIVER PATE...    pâté and nut pairings   are found in high-end culinary traditions, but seldom in customary, conventional fare....I made a sandwich of these two 'halves' and found it delicious enough to add to my menus of 'quick b'fast fare'.    

A SEGUE OF THE MOMENT...FROM COOKING & DINING ....TO AN ADMONITION ABOUT 'WHAT WE PUT INTO OUR MOUTHS...OTHER THAN THE FOODS WE DELIGHT IN."

Microplastics and nanoplastics (MNPs) were detected in 84% of patients who had experienced a major heart attack , compared with 40% of people with chronic heart disease and 32% of those with normal coronary arteries.   OTHER THAN MAKING AN ALMOST FUTILE EFFORT TO AVOID FOODSTUFFS THAT ARE CONTAINERIZED IN PLASTIC AND CHEMICALS-LINED BAGS AND BOXES.....SOME EFFORT SHOULD BE EXERCISED TO DINE UPON PORCELAIN OR GLASS, WITH 'REAL' STERLING SILVERWARE.....AVOIDING, COMPLETELY, THE 'PLASTICWARE' KNIVES, FORKS SPOONS, CUPS AND PLATES......THUS, AS MUCH AS ONE CAN, AVOIDING BOTH THE ACCUMULATION OF POISONOUS, CANCER-PRODUCING MATERIALS...AND THE BILLIONS OF TONS OF PLASTIC THAT, ULTIMATELY....AND QUICKLY.....IS RETURNED 'TO ACTION'...LOGARITHMICALLY....TO BOTH POISON US AND PRODUCE TOXIC CHANGES EPIGENETIC  OUR DNA, LEADING TO BEHAVIOR DISORDERS AS WELL AS METABOLIC CONFICTS AND NORMAL CELL DEVELOPMENT.. "MICRO"PLASTICS ARE A 'BIG' THING IN THE ...

MY "COUNTRY" SUPPER @ 6pm..... atop an old Blue Willow plate.......

      an extra-large, free-range brown hen's egg, scrambled in butter,  with small chunks of Prosciutto di Parma, smoked tumeric & paprika, hot-pepper sauce,  coarse-ground black pepper, grated extra-sharp cheddar cheese, baby spinach leaves, chopped scallions, cilantro, & parsley,  and yellow bell pepper slices, piled atop a slice of toasted 5-grains bread, generously spread with apple-cinnamon butter......  followed by another ''meatless"  variation....sans the ham, but 'plus' a generous dollop of lemony mayonaisse...... and a bit of leftover caviar, for the salt.......

an Hors d'oeuvres luncheon.....as I am far too laconic, today, to discuss Epicurian Delights....and, too much of a Lazy Boy, to go to the bother of cooking or washing and polishing any silverware.....just having some 'finger-licking' sequenced appetizers....

HOW EASY CAN IT GET? IT COULDN'T GET ANY LESS COSTLY TO HAVE A NUTRITIOUS LUNCH, EITHER......

                                       I snatched up a 5.5oz  prepared "Apple Walnut Salad Kit" of both green and red apple slices, grilled white meat chicken, dried cranberries,  blue cheese and candied walnuts....with a cup of sweet onion/dijon vinaigrette  at a local Kroger Store.....for $1.57!    A thrifty shopper can always eat well!                           

I'll have some Apple Pan Dowdy......today....and, perhaps, some Shoo Fly Pie, tomorrow......with a mug of Mexican hot java....
