ONLINE "CHOPPED" GAME

Each cook makes up a 'chopped basket' and 'secret ingredient list'.......then the 'players' take turns preparing the 'courses'.......no 'judges', just some delicious...hopefully....interplay of creative cooks..... Today's 'basket' ingredients: Frozen Swai Filets, pomegranates, purple cabbage, aged parmesan cheese, celery and fennel seeds, scallions and a bag of blue lavender flowers, thyme, savory, basil leaves and marjoram........... Looks like an 'easy' challenge........Parmesan Fish and cabbage slaw! Yet, a really creative, innovator may crank out some Swai custard with roasted pomegranate-cabbage in lavender mayonnaise and cheese points covered with fennel seeds.......... I've found that most folks eat the same few things, with little alterations, for most of their lives........One of my Aunts had a 'menu' for the week.....that was repeated for 50 years.........My cousins, her kids, never developed very sophisticated palates....and follow this taste habituation ..........

THE TOUTED LARGESSE OF MEDIOCRITY....

  a visit, yesterday afternoon, to what used to be Loehmann's Plaza......now, renamed a more 'fashionable' Brighten Park...brought about a 'dinner stop' at "Eataliano-Kitchen-Atlanta", where our waitress insured us that this was the 'best Italian restaurant in Atlanta'........The food was a bit disgusting, however....... 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
