So I was at the grocery store and for some reason I saw anchovies and said you know I’ve never tried those for a buck and some change I should fix that. So I ended up with a can of anchovies in olive oil all they had. Well not to make this a long story but they weren’t bad salty but not bad. I’d probably revisit them sometime. Anchovies can be wonderful. The English has a snack called "Anchovy Toast". They mash anchovies in olive oil with a little butter and lightly spread on toast. Add lemon if you like. It is great! Anchovy on pizza is a must here. Everyone I make or order has them. Anchovies are the secret ingredient in my Italian red sauce, gravy, bolognese, etc. I use less salt and the anchovies impart a richness of flavor which is not readily identifiable by other people. If you make a Nicoise Salad or a Caesar Salad, you got to have them. I try to get the ones from Morocco. |

When I was about 14, I was with my brother at a meeting with the owner of Grocer Supply at a grocery store in Houston. His name was Joe Levit, and they were walking around the store while they talked. I was trailing behind, but I saw and heard everything that was going on. At one point Mr Levit's youngest son, about 25, takes a tube of anchovy paste off the shelf and opens it. He then proceeded to stick it under his father's nose and said that it had gone bad, interrupting the conversation. Everything stopped. People froze. Think Godfather for Mr Levit. He looked at his son and just shook his head and walked on. My closest brush with anchovies. And a lesson that all men might be created equal, but they don't stay equal.

Tonight for dinner is flattened garlic chicken, potatoes, carrots and cheesy bread. That sounds great. I used to make something like that and had the perfect stone for placing on a chicken. It was smooth basalt, like glass and very heavy. |

Turkey plate with the usual sides for lunch. Then a long 2.5 hour.
Supper will likely be a sliced turkey sandwich on sourdough toast with lettuce, tomato, mayo and cranberry sauce. That is if I ever get hungry again after that lunch!!!

When I worked in foodservice, there was a guy always playing practical jokes on everyone including myself. If you responded in kind, it was a never ending process of having to get even so I..... Popped his vents on the dash and got s some big tubes of anchovy paste, some old catfish stinkbait, and Limburger cheese. and used a long spoon to deposit it deep in the ductwork. That was right after the annual bids for tractors, so that was his ride for the next year.  On a hundred degree day he was driving with the windows down. They never could figure out the smell. |

I worked with a stripper, (pre-press prep), who smeared limburger cheese around the light switch and under the edge of another stripper's light table. He never figured out why his hands always smelled like feet! 😁 |
