Utilization of the hand-made 'pitchfork' that a friend made a half century ago in Richard Mafong's metalsmithing class at Georgia State University...............

Some basic, but flavorful, Alsatian fare for lunch......displacing my real desire for mille-feuilles, St. Honoré cake and a bowl of triple-chocolate iced cream......compared to which, my simpler peasant fare seems so utilitarian.....I'll save a potato for you, Jeremy Bentham.....these tubers are the great equalizer, after all, aren't they? (but a half dozen Gateau St. Honores ---not 'pictured', since I ate them earlier, with a mug of java--are the real 'satisfiers')

and, never toss those tangerine peels...... a couple of Florentine Lace cookies are the 'satisfaction' component.....remember the adage: 'the last taste is the last forgotten'.....and that is never parsnip latkes with lox and horseradish creme....is it?
