Zingy is how you might call it
each pore of the citrus fruits skin
holds a little bit inside
and as your figures begin to split
the fruit’s smell contained therein
escaping into the room
where it does reside
enhancing the flavour into which you’ve just bit
#Fowc #Scary
Some might say your
Common garden horror flick at Halloween is enough to
Accelerate your heart beat – but
Really, it’s after the festivities of Christmas and New Year
You’ll really scream out – stay off the scales!
#fowc #food #christmas #leftovers
Salford, 26th December 2019
By the time the pans were in the sink
undertakings of the Christmas leftovers were being sorted out
bird of the day stripped down to its carcass and
boxed up – and placed in the refridgerator
like the vegetables left behind from the feast
everyone knew what was for tomorrows dinner
Sizzle – went the pan – as meat and vegetables combined
quickly in motion with the aid of a bit of oil and butter
unlike the meal before it – this had a flavour all of its own
encompassing all its ingredients and perhaps one or two more
as the smell of the concoction – drifted on the cold winter air – leaving the
kitchen and wafting under the noses of everyone nearby
#Fowc #Barbecue
Best Beef Sausages
Are happily sizzling over
Roasting hots coals
Beefburgers drip hot fat in
Expectation of sizzling onions
Currently cooking on a skillet, while
Up on the far table – next to the sesame seeded buns
Every kind of sauce and relish imaginable – they’ve even got Curry!

An acrostic about a plant
Perhaps the greatest thing to come out of the ground
likes to brighten the garden and the air around it
as it recycles the carbon out in the air
note – it doesn’t take much applause , for what it does
though it does appreciate a daily watering and some food now and then
#fowc #root
the source of the plant
grown from the seed
fed from the soil
Out of Sight
Unseen by most
till dug by the gardener
keeping those flowers
in perfect bloom
all the way to autumn
Special roots – Cleaned
and cooked in the oven
are tasty in stews
Edible Garnish
for the Sunday Roast,
sweet, juicy, tasty

#Octpowrimo #cat #Memories
They called you crazy – but you were quite a character,
king of the garden and the dining room floor
ignoring the cat food – for sardines or cod
and eating fish batter – which I found rather odd
got into a fuss if little ones picked you up
but clawed for attention – worse than a pup
playing with wool balls – attending your brain
then jumping out th’window – into spring rain
You didn’t like little uns pulling your tail
but would destroy others dinners beyond the pail
dashing to your sleep spot and blanket to hide
hoping you wouldn’t be hurled outside
Sat watching telly – on the rug in the house
occasionally playing with your catnip mouse
flicking your tail, when you wanted a feed
and hiding under the sofa when you did a bad deed
A response to Iscriblrs piece on taste….you’ll find that Here
Salty or Sour ?
Sweet or Sizzling Hot ?
Someone say…Is this strawberry sorbet ?
Someone says (Its Not!)
Glutton for punishment ?
Of course, you could call him that.
Useful to have at any
Restaurant table, he’s the
Main Man on the subject of what to eat
And what to shy away from
Note – however, the expanding waistline
Drop one day – he will
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
