MOROCCAN TANGINE BREAKFAST......

.....enter the kitchen at 7:24.....ready to serve at 7:28......[faster than a 'drive-through' window at McDonald's........and no need to fire up an auto, drive in traffic; line up behind other 'diners', staring at and fingering their phones, while listening to noise on their car radios or bluetoothed streams from The Cloud, as they pollute the air with exhaust fumes......gobble down the chow; then toss a cubic foot of paper and plastic into the Trash Can....or..out of their vehicle's windows....as they re-enter the traffic stream, on their 'way' to 'somewhere'.....Still a bit hungry, I think I'll make a Tangine Almond/Prune cake....which will take about 8 minutes.....

a second 'run' with the Tangine....a '7 minute cake'.....almond flour, an egg, apricot liquor, almond paste, butter, wire-whipped.... and, after 30 seconds of microwave action.....onto a silver plate, then ..topped with tangerine sections a few gobs of whipped cream and a light pour of Contreau..... No 'Gourmet' Awards for this teatime treat....but, tastier than a drive-through window canned fruit, deep-fried pie from McDonalds......

Utilization of the hand-made 'pitchfork' that a friend made a half century ago in Richard Mafong's metalsmithing class at Georgia State University...............

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'.......
