ROUTINE, IF NOT A 'REPEAT REPAST RECONFIGURATION ROLLUP'.......COMPONENTS MAY VARY......MAKE THAT 'WILL VARY'....




I've observed, throughout my life, that most animals....including humans.....have a 'routine' for eating food......and 'get it the way they like it' or just settle for any caloric configurations, on a cycling, addictive repetition. I must not have ever utilized a 'standard recipe' for even the simplest of fares;.......the downside, occasionally, is an epic failure...which I will, usually, eat anyway.....or a 'dish' that, after a hundred permutations and combinations, is not as tasty as an earlier 'trial' version....similar, but still...different......An example is my breakfast, this morning.....the hundred or so ingredients involved in producing what looked like so many other takes on 'most of the ingredients' was a 'fold your apron and leave the kitchen' experience.....Fortunately, I was not serving this experiment to anyone else....and....it still tasted far better than most Restaurant Fare.......it was that trickster pomegranate molasses, in collusion with ginger/garlic paste 'what done it in', I believe.......Food-making is an Organic Chemistry Lab Experiment , after all, isn't it? My test subject....the ever-hungry dog, next door....sniffed my Project a couple of times....before wolfing it down, anyway....she would, of course, gobble up a plate of white asparagus with chocolate sauce...with equal enthusiasm.....
