ANOTHER ERA

Seth posted an article about a seasonal exhibit of old-timey jello dishes. The picture actually looked edible until you realized that that was asparagus, and they had murdered it. The bed of crinkly lettuce and parsley underneath the fruit cocktail ring(?) was what made the whole appetizing. than another friend posted what may be the classicest sammich recipe ever: Take a quarter pound of liverwurst, mash it with a peeled banana and a cup of tomato ketchup or chili paste. Butter eight slices of bread, smear the liverwurst and banana mixture on eight other slices, and stick them together. Slice diagonally. Yum. boys, that sounds delish!

In the good old days women would stay at home all day and while away the lonely hours inventing festive old timey foods like this. I think we've lost a lot by becoming civilized.

I would use chilipaste instead of ketchup.
Sambal badjak, sambal oelek, either.

Toast the bread first.
Had a bowl of jook yesterday, first food since Sunday. Felt it was necessary, so that I wouldn't wankle or stumble when down at the pharmacy picking up a refil of latanoprost. That would have been bad.

Can't have random white dudes wankling and stumbling around pharmacies these days.
I feel that was a crucial part of movies back then.
Happened all the time.
