Tonight the 7yo and I were enjoying an appetizer while dinner [leftovers] was microwaving. The appetizer was a delightful spread from The Moosewood Cookbook called "Walnut Feta Paté." [OK to be honest, she was enjoying a cracker, while I enjoyed a cracker with the spread. More for me.] I’m seriously addicted to the stuff….have been for about 10 years now. Good night, do you realize 10 years ago it was the late ’90s???
At any rate, tonight, for some reason, I had this thunderbolt about the walnut-feta spread. It tastes almost exactly like deviled ham. Salty, rich….mmm.
I asked the 7yo if she knew what deviled ham was. No idea. Looked at me like I was from Mars.
I told her that I remembered deviled ham as the mainstay of my school lunches….I took my lunch a lot during certain periods of my childhood and I would take a can of deviled ham and eat it on crackers, or have a plain deviled-ham-and-white-bread sandwich. Just thinking about it now makes my mouth water.
I tried to tell her it was for me like peanut butter is for her, but I really don’t think she could appreciate it. [You know, something terribly bad for you that you just can't help but eat.] I may have to get some and let her try it.
