Only ONE from each roll, now!......This box of Baklava packs over 20,000 calories!.....

                                  This box of calorie-laden Mediterranean  pastries.... Baklava , loaded with honey...                                     Best enjoyed with the strongest cup of Turkish expresso you can make......                                          Or, to save a few bucks and, perhaps, live longer without an insulin pump....go                                                 for the Dubai 'Snack Pack'.....  with a decaf expresso.                                     ...

REMEMBERING WHAT WAS, ONCE, MY FAVORITE BUFFET LUNCHEON SPOT........RAINBOW NATURAL FOOD'S BUFFET.....

LOCATED AT 2118 NORTH DECATUR RD. FOR OVER 40 YEARS.....RAINBOW WAS EDGED OUT OF THE COMPETITIVE FOOD MARKET BY NEARBY MEGA-GROCERS.

                  I'M IN MY KITCHEN, ROLLING SOME SPONGE CAKE,  DRIZZLED WITH CONTREAU, THEN LOADED WITH WHIPPED HEAVY CREAM AND JUICY STRAWBERRIES, MARINATED IN A SWEET 'GOO' OF REDUCED LIQUORS....SO MUCH FOR HITTING THE SACK LAST NIGHT, WITHOUT HAVING AN AFTER-DINNER DESSERT!  

QUICK....BEFORE IT MELTS!

both the unsweetened cocoa powder and the walnuts hasten the chocolate iced cream's melt, so...grab a spoon, before it's a lumpy bowl of chocolate milk......give it a stir to blend in the cocoa, first.....after having added a jigger of Cointreau or Creme de Cacoa, or both....if you 'like it sweeter'.....

THANKS FOR THE INSPIRATION, MICHEL GONDRY....AND, I'M NOT JUST KIDDING!

  Preparing to watch Jim Carrey's "MR. PICKLES" Series, " KIDDING ", again......I made an appropriate pickle stew to accompany the Jiggly Wiggly jello with pickled duck breasts on a Toe Jam & Rock Lobster Confit , plated with spit balls from the corners of Justin Kirk's laughing lips.......Now, 'how do I get my paw outta this padded, fireproof cooking mitt?'

Syrian Karoun/Ackawi Cheese with Terreno tomato and chopped basil/cilantro & ground dehydrated orange peppers..

.a 'switch-up' from Mozzarella and Uglis.....a matter of tastes/need for variety= (in the fortunate kitchen) innovation and change......and a diversification from habitual chow......

VERY, VERY LATE.....OR IS IT 'VERY EARLY'?......SUPPER, IN BED........@ 4 AM..

....and, to think...'growing up'.....dining was part of 'clockwork'....b'fast @ 7, lunch @11:30-1, dinner @ 7-8.......and 'supper' at midnight......Lunch was once the 'big meal'......and Supper was a bowl of cereal with fruit......to supplement the 'then' lighter dinners.......Now, the only 'regular' feature of my eating habits is a cup of java, soon after awakening.......No 'dinner at 8' generally leads to awakening from slumber, a bit ravenous, and devouring some of the many 'leftovers' in the fridge...
