When I was younger with two little ones, I was right into cooking and housekeeping.
Now – not so much.
If what needs to be gets done, gets done – great.
Otherwise, I know it will still be there later.
Cooking these days, is more about convenience.
So although I don’t usually do this, hey, it’s a great idea: breakfast, lunch or dinner – in a mug!
A Delicious Dance
In my kitchen
I contemplate a new mix,
a special combination
with heightened flavors.
The perfected recipe.
At last, a chance
to bite into real love!
The thrill of discovery
I’ve tried unsuccessfully
to master, for years.
Many times before,
I tried blending,
picking ingredients
so carefully…
impatiently
stirring the pot.
But I wrongly used
wooden utensils –
failed to find
the perfect dish,
until you added
that extra dash.
That Mysterious tang
which previously
eluded my search –
that ultimate formula.
Tempting my taste buds,
leaving them bereft
of that special essence,
everlasting love.
You are the recipe
and lust the icing
on my now perfected
carrot cake of life.
