For an 'online' cooking 'challenge': "What food was your favorite when you were 12...that you still love; and, how has your preparation and enjoyment of that thing changed up to the present?".........For me, this would be a 'coin toss' between BLT or Tuna Fish Sandwich......with a close 'third' being Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwich......and a 4th.....a crunchy Grilled Cheese Sandwich...... I had no access or knowledge of fancy breads, salad greens, varieties of tomatoes or 'tuna...not from a can'...or fancy French mustards.....But now......my love is constant...with 'upgrades' on every level...... Pictured here, a hollowed out and toasted Ciabatta roll with chopped tuna steak, mixed with lemon mayo, Pommery Meaux mustard, diced quail eggs with runny yolks, sliced Kumato tomatoes, arugula, baby spinach, pickle relish, diced dill weed, celery seeds, ground multi-colored peppercorns and a mix of ground French Herbs........ Certainly better than the Chicken of The Sea canned tuna, with mayo and mustard and relish between two slices of toasted white 'loaf' bread that was all I knew of in 1955, when I began to look to other cultures and countries for 'food ideas'........the first being French bread!......Ciabatta rules, now, however.....more 'crunch'........I think I'll have another!

Obesity is now killing triple the number of people who die from malnutrition........billions of pounds of fat will be packed on between Thanksgiving and the day after New Years Day......
yet, Americans still awaken after sleeping on their fat asses, declaring "I'm starving to death!".....as they raid their fridges and stovetops for yesterday's high-calorie leftovers..... This Thursday.....Thanksgiving Day.....a couple of hundred million people will be gorging on the 'products' seen on this table.....with little variation.......
