What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Elevated Edibles: Upgraded Lunch Break! For those original gamers from the 1980’s, today’s snapshot may detect a slight resemblance to a popular video game character known as Pac-Man. I assure you, that was not my intention. My kids played that harmless game all the time, staring at a screen that literally ate its way to a high score. Then again, I seem to remember them requesting pizza delivery more often as a result of it. At least nowadays I can choose a healthier alternative with multigrain baked crackers that have wheat, corn, and oats. Plus it won’t cost me a roll of quarters.
UPGRADED LUNCH BREAK
Ingredients:
6 multigrain baked crackers
3 slices cherrywood smoked ham, deli-style
1 golden delicious apple, sliced in wedges
Fresh chives, for garnish
Instructions:
Arrange multigrain crackers on a platter. Cut each slice of ham in half. Form into an accordion shape to create “wells”. Secure one end with two strands of fresh chives. Tie securely. Place the ham onto a multigrain cracker, fanning out the hills and valleys. Insert apple wedges where possible, allowing them to stand upright. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

This would be lunch on a Saturday. All other days we have our main meal around noon or 1.00 pm as we find we digest our food better. I will have to get more of those crackers in as we’ve finished those we bought for the blue cheese blackberry and honey treat! 😋

Luther Ingram comes to mind, but I’m sure there were plenty of musicians who followed his lead.
