Something sensational was coming from the Kitchen
in seconds the waft of chicken , ham and vegetables
made its way through the ground floor and
moseyed upstairs to tell my senses
everybody – grab your eating irons – its ready
rendezvousing with crusty bread and salt and pepper
in a combination you will
never forget – a total culinary triumph
got to warn you though – its just out of the pan…watch the bubbles

Its been cooking on the hob for a while now
blue gas flames keeping the cooking going
while the flavours mingle and merge
the star of the show has been bathing in a warm bath
while her co-stars have been cooking in the broth
carrots and onions, parsnip and turnip
together with the occasional green
regional variations see peppers and tomatoes
and perhaps the addition of garlic
(just don’t tell the seniors – that ain’t “northern”)
pearl barley or noodles give it bulk
served up in a bowl with warm crusty bread
a definite antidote to the retreating mercury
and the weather outside

turning on a spit
onion cardamom ginger and chilli
provide the spice and heat
in the tomato sauce
covering the flame cooked chicken

Greek style wraps
you can enjoy any place – any time
running through the Lamb chicken or veg
over everything – herbs and spices and
some of the Greek Tsatziki
(Delicious!)

Another poem from yours truly using the Salt & Pepper Fonts

Good heavens! you’ll cry – its just a sauce, made from
Roasting juices of the meat cooking in the oven –
Actually, they cheer in unison – its much more than that
Vegetable water and various seasonings are mixed in too –
You might even get a flavour of the drink you’re having with your dinner

So looking back, How was your Christmas ?
Counting the savings from making the kids wait till Boxing day for their treat
Roast Chicken and less vegetables than usual
Of course, you can defend yourself by saying you’re “Economical” – but
Oranges are meant to be eaten, they’re not just a table decoration.
Got to admit, the mittens you wrapped up might be useful but
Expectation well exceeded reality
A five line response to the picture provided for the prompt by Patricia’s Place @ https://patriciasplace.me/
perfectly pampered puddytat
ponders whats for tea
perhaps chicken or pork, or maybe – beef ?
his belief – but today his wish
is a big plate of fish

Built from the farmers imagination
A number of hens laid a dozen eggs each
The effort was stored in tiny little cells
Then used to power the cooker that
Each egg was cooked on
Revolutionary! cried the farmer
Yelping as he consumed the hot fried eggs
#memories
Many a happy time
Enjoyed on the shoreline
Munching away at the contents
Of a well prepared picnic basket
Roast chicken sandwiches and strawberry tarts
Iced buns and banana pudding….
Eaten on a camp blanket, by a rocky shelter
Somewhere where the sardines are safe from the local seagulls
