Simple Patties.......Complicated Composition and Clean-Up




One last 'production' before kitchen clean up time.....iron skillet chicken cooked in walnut oil with scallions, ginger, tomatillo paste, garlic, orange bell and habanero peppers, corn chile, blackberries, red jalapenos, garlic and sourwood honey with a matching mound of nutty brown rice with cilantro, lemon juice, paprika and powdered chipotle.... .......the taste pinnacle of this week's 'kitchen stadium' experimentation.....to balance hot, sweet, sour, bitter, nutty, fruity and meaty......the scale's 'needle' is exactly on Zero....This little piggy had chicken thighs.....then, already home, had a big mess to clean up!

Ginger tea, preserved orange and lemon peels in honey, with English walnuts atop chia seed, and cognac-marinated black raisin fruitcake fill the bill on a chilly morning......reconstructed from a taste-memory from last night's Muted-Colour Dream of High Tea at Harrods, 40 years ago......displacing a rather boring pre-dawn intention to have a poached egg on sourwood toast......demonstrating how dreams can enhance the ordinariness of a chilly, housebound morning, viewing...for the umpteenth time......Ang Lee's hyper-detailed romantic study of Jane Austin's "Sense & Sensibility"s focus on elegant dining at a well-appointed Table....guests, all in beautiful Jenny Beavan finery.......may I utilize your dessert fork, if you will, Zack MacLeod Pinsent, since you can, surely, nibble this...even while wearing white gloves?
