Cooking And Eating....“Dis-moi ce que tu manges, je te dirai ce que tu es”

  ALTHOUGH I COULD HAVE 'FAKED IT' WITH A FRIED EGG, I SUPPOSE..... ..

.......leftover yams, cooked with dark brown sugar, walnuts and curried currants....baked in pastry, then sliced and dribbled with a concoction of sweet/hot remnants of mango chutney, tamarind and pad Thai sauce and 'blow torch your mouth out' fiery green dragon sauce.....served with sliced nectarines in lavender syrup, and aromatic Earl Grey tea..... All of today has been a flavorful palate-pleaser .....

  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...

 Just spread it with head cheese and enjoy!  There are many who would leave this on the bread plate, untouched, I think....
