First, empty the vegetable bin...finish off some almost-empty jars of condiments.......then, have a Chocolate reward.........



the 7-hour simple vegan meal........spicy rice with okra, pimentos, sun-dried tomatoes and just about every herb and spice in my kitchen.....40 ingredients.......even black strap molasses, pickled lemons and dried dates powdered with date flour...to thicken this concoction....Having seen a photo on a friend's page....I couldn't get this tasty treat out of my mind....so.....finally....my reward! Now....to my tiny 'iced cream' machine to crank out....with an electric motor....some quadruple chocolate, heavy cream, Solerno blood orange liqueur and walnut frozen dessert to serve with Project Runway Allstars reruns this evening......The Kitchen is 'totaled'! So, I may as well make some baby okra tempura before cleaning up.......

I asked "Are your chicken wings as good as the ones at Thaicoon...down the street? "...... So, minutes later a plate of greasy, underseasoned 'wings' appeared, accompanied by some wilted, tasteless 'celery sticks' and rubbery 'carrot sticks' and a bowl of el cheapo ranch dressing.....the 'commercial' kind that comes in those huge plastic jars..........ugh!......then come the desserts.......my dinner companion had a sugary chocolate brownie...made, of course, from a commercial mix.....(add water and, maybe, an egg and a cup of saturated liquid fat......probably corn oil), dump on some
