A tale of an Apple Turnover
This is a bit of a wonder
Undeniable – the baker is a bit of a marvel
Ripe apples transformed into a take home delight
Nice eaten hot with custard
Or cold with a bit of icecream
Varieties exist – some are spiced and others have sultanas in them
Everyone enjoys them as a breaktime treat –
Rows of delicious pastries leave, as fast as they are baked
Salford 21st December 2018
Expectant faces watched as
Mum and dad mixed the ingredients in a bowl
And as the mix formed and rolled out on the table
Eager hands aimed to create a family
Out of gingerbread
Dad looked smaller than mum
Whilst James loomed over his little brother
But all were smiling
As they took their place
On the branches of the family Christmas tree
Masterpiece
Made from the finest beef
And vegetables fresh from the north of england
Something stupendous has been prepared
Transforming the ingredients into something that
Excites the tastebuds, as meat and potato dance
Round the pan with carrots and leeks
Pepper, salt and herbs
In a tango to
Excite the senses
Coming together on the plate…a dish
Everyone will enjoy
the mercury rose again today
over at the campsite….they don’t need a match
just a circle of stones baking in the mid morning sun
plonking the pan on top and waiting
waiting for the small drop of oil
to start sizzling.
A summer morning, Worsley woods, west of Manchester
the sun just peaking through the nest of trees
circle of tents in various spots
and a scout leader starting the beginnings of an altar fire
little faces pop out of the niger tents to grab a view
breakfast served at 8 am sharp
but first, a mug of tea
some make a break for the toilet block
as sausage and eggy bread sizzle in a pan
orders given to the sous chef … he keeps his eye on the food
and slowly the camp leader makes his way to the pole
and all stand still in observance
the flag is released from its bonds
and flies high in the gentle breeze , proudly to attention
and all present give a salute
before breakfast is served
Crafting a dessert, is a bit of a magic trick
Oranges sliced and pineapples diced get laid in a dish, and
Next comes the syrup and then the batter, before the dish is covered in foil
Just before the dish is put in the oven – four holes are made to let out steam
Until its time – for it to be turned upside down and
Royally presented to all sat at the table
Excited little ones ask – can i have custard with mine ?
Salford 13th February 2018
Party in a pan
As the flour and egg mix
Navigates its way around
Creating a treat
As yummy as it can be
Keep it nice and hot
Enveloping the sweet filling
in the kitchen
magic is performed
as
yellow butter
white sugar
brown flour
some eggs
and mixed fruit
join together in harmony
with the aid of nutmeg, cinnamon and mixed space
popped in the oven
and left to combine
they jump about in the warm
and become solid or baked
forming a most wonderful substance
a cake.
