LATE SUMMER LUNCHEON ON THE BACK STEPS

 




on an old new plate on a new old plate, noontime fare......a vegan-ish crimini mushroom patty with spinach, chopped cilantro, and mozzarella cheese, brushed on one side with crushed over-ripe figs...and the 'other' side, with mango, blueberry/raspberry/pineapple hot Thai pepper salsa, on a crunchy whole wheat toasted muffin.....with some 'garden greens' and bitter dandelion leaves from my back yard......a really late b'fast, actually....with a cup of Laotian coffee, surmounted by heavy cream, sweetened by just a touch of Sand Mountain sorghum, 'cut' from a thick 'cud' that a childhood friend sent from Scottsboro, Alabama......I missed 'sitting on the back stoop having lunch with Ryan L. today!
