"Mamma Mia, that's a spicy Chili Meatball".... with a palate-sweetener OCD-ADD interlude.......


first non-traditional 'Meatball' Chili of the Season.....hot as molten lava!....over a bed of chilled broccoli, cabbage and carrots;.......next, a blackbean version...for a Mexican 'take'.....encased in a crisp taco shell;.....then, leftovers' mixup with crunchy corn chips....(not a 'thrill', since I really craved some shoo fly pie and apple pan dowdy...as I listened to an old Dinah Shore recording on the under-the-cabinet radio....... 

"Sh-shoo-fly pie and apple pan dowdy
Makes your eyes light up
Your tummy say, "Howdy"
Shoo-fly pie and apple pan dowdy
I never get enough of that wonderful stuff...."

'day 4 remnants'......I sauteed some asparagus tips, added some pomegranate sauce and fresh-chopped green scallions and dumped 'this' onto a skillet-fried Indian paratha....followed by some dark chocolate-covered expresso coffee beans and 12 oz of fizzy Sanpellegrino Aranciata Rossa.... made a black bean version...for another  Mexican take on Chili......encased in a crisp white corn  taco 'shell'...

this picnic 'fruitcake on the grass' was never mentioned in Jane Austin's novel.....nor would these ladies have been served from the pedestrian, mustard-colored plate like the one I utilized this morning....

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?
