AROUSED, NEITHER BY SUGAR OR CAFFEINE.........MEANT 'BACK UNDER THE COVERS FOR PREREQUISITE DREAM CATCH UP TIME'

awakening from a dream in which I was with my parents, having my first crepes Suzette at Brennan's, in New Orleans.....my stomach grumbled for some more....Out of oranges and blood orange marmalade, I resorted to some ginger preserves from the back of the fridge.......hmmm...stick to the orange! Not that I left a dripping crumb on the plate, of course.... and the last scoops of Kona.....oh, no! The Peet's is a bit of a letdown, too...... In 'hard times' sacrifices must be made.....that coffee had absolutely no effect.....back to bed to watch Bobby Flay battle in the kitchen with Andrew Zimmern, during sunrise....

MOROCCAN TAGIN-COOKED EGGS WITH FIGS FROM A NEIGHBOR'S LARGESSE......A MEMORY, IN ANTICIPATION OF THIS YEAR'S CROP.....

Image
I was thinking of planting some sunflowers in the far back Yard.....then, made some b'fast of another tangin-cooked egg & diced prosciutto, sharp cheese and diced cilantro with toast points, slathered with home-made fig preserves that I made, a couple of years ago, from a basket of figs that one of my neighbors had placed by her mail box..with a sign....saying: "take as many as you like....freely.....This year's crop was an excess of riches....." Thanks, Neighbor, your preserves are perfect on my crunchy, gluten-free toast points.....and B'fast was a bit like dining on a beautiful sunflower.......

'GOBBLEDYGOOK'.......SAYS IT ALL.......

Image
a 'Loaf'.....sort of.......from this morning's kitchen playtime......best eaten.....outside......since it is rather 'gyro-like', isn't it...and 'messy'; although, it has no tzatziki sauce or lamb....and the bread is not Pita.....A 'look-alike' of butter-fried paratha bread and a salmon loaf with tartar sauce, cured sun-dried tomatoes and fresh cherry tomatoes.....plus the obligatory diced herb mix......French, not Greek.....Gobbledygook...with no turkey, either.....
