Liverwurst - I have always loved it on a sandwich with mayo. I can't remember the last time I had it. May have to put it on my shopping list.
Jim - The coffee is my own creation, Virtual Morning Starter. Glad you enjoyed it.
Wendy - Speaking of peanut butter, I never eat pancakes without it and maple syrup except in dire situations where they are not available. This photo is Judy with our friend visiting from Dallas on my deck ready to dive into some pancakes I made last August. Notice the mug of tea at my plate (see yesterday's post) and the peanut butter had not yet been applied. There were plenty of cakes on hand to avoid a food fight.

A charter fishing boat in Marathon Florida has a table where the crew fillets the catch and throws the scraps to a flock of starving pelicans. Talk about a food fight, some actually force their beak into another pelicans mouth to steal its catch. It makes for quite a show. This is a daily ritual.


As for strange food, Judy and I experimented at lunch in Marathon Florida last year. I had a Spicy Tuna Dog - Charred hot dog topped with spicy tuna, avocado, panko, green onion, masago, spicy mayo and eel sauce. It was sort of a sushi hot dog. Surprisingly tasty.

Judy tried the Soft Shelled Crab Sandwich. As you might imagine it was not quite what she imagined it would be but she was a trooper and ate without hesitation.

I suspect she was hoping for something more like her favorite Lobster Roll she had in New England several years ago.

Last but not least is a picture from July 20, 2018 of the perfect late summer lunch with luscious Illinois tomatoes and ripe cantelope. Nothing tastes better. Hopefully we will have some available in a few more weeks.
