What Came First.....

What came first, the chicken or the egg? Well in my apartment it depends on what is in the refrigerator. I might also have the urge to have something else, or a combination of somethings. Years ago my mother was horrified when I combined ketchup with mayo or mayo with mustard to go with a sandwich or use as a dip. I would also add soy sauce or some other condiment that was there but mostly not used by my mother's cooking technique. She bought lots of things and didn't use a lot of those things. Or she bought it for a recipe and didn't use it anymore. She was a person that had to use the exact items in a recipe and didn't think twice about a trip to the local market to get those items for that one time recipe. In those days she didn't especially like to cook. She cooked because it was required by her. Somewhere along my teenage years I started to get creative with my snacking and came ups with quite a few variations. There's one that I still have on occasion. It's a peanut butter sandwich with mustard and mayo. It's one of my comfort foods that I need to have at those special times. So what came first, the chicken or the egg today.
