round patty of ground low-fat beef or buffalo • Salt, preferably without additives, Diamond Crystal is okay and so is Celtic -- for me • Clean a brick. Or half a brick is even better. Cover it completely with foil

salt (fine, without additives): Diamond Crystal, Celtic Sea Salt, for instance • tap water

chicken wings, cut into 3s. First and second sections preferred. Use the 3rd for stock. I love the 3rd fried, but don't know how they work in this recipe • No oil needed; wings are fatty enough • Salt (Be sure your salt doesn't have an additive that makes it pour when it rains because it might make us sensitive people cough.)

albacore tuna (I like Wild Planet) • Sour cream or yogurt, your choice: per very different tastes • lettuce leaves

Mushrooms • Olive oil (oo) or your favorite • parmesan / romano cheese • bread crumbs • Eggs for omelet • salt

Shredded cabbage, if it's in a bag, it's often called Cole Slaw • Sour cream or yogurt • Diced celery or other veggies you can eat

good, hearty bread, like no-knead: thick or thin, up to you -- or your slicing skills • white cheddar to fit bread slice: ⅛ inch, give or take

eggs • half and half • salt

# ground beef • shredded cabbage • grated parmesan • salt • egg
