I was enjoying my evening meal, a rather convenient mishmash of various leftovers that separately are very tasty but as a combination always produce a promise of decided mystery for the tongue, when the thought of easily melded combinations of ingredients, whether culinary or otherwise, took a firm fix withing my oft-empty skull.
