SUBSTITUTION COOKING......'HOW IT LOOKS' IS ALMOST AS IMPORTANT AS "WHAT IT IS"......




Other than feeling the 'heat prostration' from a trip to The Carter Center Famer's Mkt., The DeKalb Farmer's Mkt. and the Patel Indian Grocery..........I'm 'stocked' up for a week of relative seclusion and quiet.........Alas, after lugging all these new foodstuffs around, I'm too exhausted to cook anything.........Since I'd never cooked Alosinae, I got a pound of shad roe, but left it at the Market, because it had been mislabeled, and was being 'scanned' as filet mignon......another week perhaps......So,,,,polenta/coriander cakes, it is! And that's all right with me....

                              choosing between some fresh chicken livers, rolled in yellow corn meal, crushed rosemary & corn starch, then fried....crispy........lost to a more puerile indulgence.....last evening.......the 'liver' is 'on' for brunch, tomorrow.....sorry about that Marie Antoinette.........what do you mean by ....'I imagined that you'd be serving pheasant with prunes over saffron basmanti....Incidentally, I forgot that I had made other plans for brunch, tomorrow....' How about a maple syrup dip for the 'livers'?, or spicy barbequed quail breast...on a light, crispy Belgian waffle....drizzled with maple syrup...or sourwood toast points, aesthetically smeared with a sweet mango/blackberry chutney, perhaps...to be eaten with one of Sergie Rachmaninov's fancy Art Nouveau forks, Your Majesty ?.....No?..Well, I'll reckon that I'll just have some doves eggs custard with sponge bundt cake, soaked ...
