OFTEN, OUR FAVORITE 'THINGS TO COOK & EAT' ARE BUT MORE SOPHISTICATED AND COMPLEX



than the fundamentals upon which they were based.......an example:   for at least a year of Saturdays, when I was 13,  part of my day's 'routine' was, usually, stopping by Krystal, on town square, and getting the $0.68 hamburger steak, cooked on a flat iron grill, with onions....and served with a side of skinny, crunchy fries and sweet tomato ketchup.......Today.....my satisfaction comes from fancier ground meats cooked in an iron skillet, with garlic, whatever seasonings come to mind...that day; then, 'topped' with whatever chopped green and red stuff's in the fridge; ultimately, disassembled with a fork, dipped in a combo of tomato ketchup and peri-peri &/or Gochujang chili sauce...or just some Worcestershire sauce .... or whatever suits today's 'palate'......hold the greasy/salty Krystal fries......this is better...eaten from crunchy tortilla chips or crispy baked vegetable chips......

a mini-lunch, shared on a long-handled silver 'pitchfork' with a tiny adult 'hand fed' Pomeranian that is visiting a next door neighbor....and loved licking up the last of the dribbles of Saus Bumbu Tumis...... a glop of pumpkin/almond/ginger bread with ligonberry preserves and sliced almonds, now that 'Chi-Chi' dog has returned to her mommy's lap, taking her dripping tongue with her........although, I can see her nostrils, widening, at the potential of  'dessert'.......upps.....here she comes.....as I gobble the last crumbs, leaving a dry crust for 'Chi-Chi'.......
