Stuff-Your-Face Tuesday

I've been on the road for the past twenty-four hours, and really haven't gotten a good head of steam built up over any issue.  Well, I did guffaw upon hearing that Trump has made one of his former caddies the new White House Communications Director, a job with a notoriously short tenure.  And while it is both funny and sad, I do feel for the poor fool.  He will be fired in less time than it takes to play eighteen holes, and he will learn about his firing over Twitter.  Trump is nothing, if not a class act.

During my travels I did trip across a couple of food stories that caught my interest.  Cate Martel, in writing for "The Hill" on the internet machine, reported that there is a new trend in food preparation using edible glitter.  Poor Cate named a few items that can be had with added sparkle including glittery bagels (available at the Bagel Store in Brooklyn, NY), gravy with glitter (which was served over a roast beef dinner last Christmas at an unnamed London pub), and, the item that made Cate wretch the longest and hardest - rainbow glitter pizza (source of availability not provided, but she did include a photo of one that had been posted to Instagram - and it was beautiful!)

Barf that up, why don't you!

Undoubtedly a platoon of hack writers are already pounding out pulp mysteries that center on the villain replacing the cook's edible glitter with the real thing!    Metallic glitter coursing through the bloodstream would likely lead to a very  painful death, and a fabulous autopsy!

The other food story that caught my interest while on the road was a radio report about a new restaurant in Florida that serves only food and drink that begins with the letter "c".  The place is called "The C-House".  The restaurant is located in Seminole Heights (the Tampa area) and promotes things like cheese burgers, cheesy macaroni, cheese cake - as well as cocktails and craft beer.

I'm thinking about starting a similar place with a focus on the letter "k".  The menu would feature some international delicacies like kimchi from Korea made with kabbage grown in Kuala Lampur, as well as kabobs and korn dogs - all washed down with several flavors of Kool-Aid and Kahlua.  Tentative name:  The Korner Kafe or the Kountry Kitchen.   And, just so you know - and before you ask - KKK members will NOT be welcome - with or without shoes, shirts and klean sheets!

Must close and go get started setting up my "Go Fund Me" site.  Kommerce awaits!
