Instant gratification
noodles and vegetables
swimming in a flavoursome pool
tasty little number brought to life by the
application of just the right amount of hot water
now – don’t forget – stir it up or you’ll find
there’s lumps at the bottom of your cup (you dont want that)
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

You’ve tried all year to keep that seaside bod
but now from festive cheer
the toned physique you flaunted at summer
is attacked with wine and beer
there’s every kind of cake and pudding
inside that cupboard of yours
and biscuits, cake and gingerbread men
to bite and chomp and gnaw
The Christmas feasts – Ginormous
with three kinds of festive meats
five kinds of seasonal vegetable
and other kinds of treat
So when christmas dinner is over
and you’ve had your festive fun
it’ll be time to take a walk in the park
or perhaps – go for a run ?

now here’s something for a Saturday Afternoon
apparently there’s more mustard in the world than custard
\
i dont mind if its on a burger – or hidden away in some sauce or dish, but it surprised me to find out (thanks to the elves @ QI) that i’d been eating variants of mustard i hadn’t even realised
In a salad with my tomatoes and cucumber (Lettuce, Radish)
Or served up with my Sunday Roast (Carrot , Turnip, Broccoli, Sprouts)
It might explain my hesitancy to eating the green stuff bar the peas when i was little…
but now i eat them all the time (and that includes Salad Cream as a Condiment)
As for Custard ? Both are nice (egg/vanilla) – but i’ll eat them after the Mustards!
(A Custard – Not Mustard :))

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
As they were released from the
Strings holding them together, the
Purple tipped stalks were prepared for the dinner plate
A motley bunch of greens
Roasted in a pan with other vegetables
A side to the main food star on the plate
Green and purple showing off the white of the fish
Up and around where it were sitting
Something to chew over , with the fish and tomatoes
#skies #plants #vegetables
While we’ve all been indoors
away from the cold and wind and the rain
in the ground, the vegetables have been waiting
they’ve waited in the farmers field, for the harvest sun
in expectation it’ll be a little bit more warmer – when they rise
next thing they’ll know – they’ll be accompanying the sunday roast
getting a warm bath and served up wi butter
I
Like long blonde hairs
they sit in the silvery tube
waiting to lie in the bubble bath
of water, oil and salt
II
Resolve in the steam ? a surprise
Durum wheat holding out
until the moment arrives
and surrender to the bubbling water
III
Sauce bubbles away as
they sit in the jacuzzi
Tomatoes onions and carrot
combine for the perfect accompaniment
IV
Meat or Veg ?
the obvious question
Mince or Meatballs for the carnivores
Mushrooms and Marrow for the herbivores
#writeclub #Material #Question #Ground
Mountains made of metals
that need mining to be used
Minerals around the Metals
May also be fused
to make shiny new things for this and for that
and shirts ties and jumpers and coats and hats
occasionally the metals come up in liquid form
breaking through the crust – molten and warm
and the humans decided what costs them most
as some metals appear more common as toast
and as some make tractors so the farmers don’t toil
the chemists are putting stuff into the soil
the metals that feed the plants roots in the ground
made from the rocks from the Mountainous mound
and veggies and fruit are picked from the tree
so something tasty can be eaten for tea

Growing Up
there were moments
i couldn’t stomach
whole foods
The magic drink
coloured bright orange
was a staple
between meal times
a weapon in
the kitchen armoury
four silver prongs
taking on vegetable, meat or fruit
Tomatoes i’d eat
after being crushed and beat
and served up on bread
to make sure i was fed
Bananas broke up
and served up in some rice
or a vanilla custard
that tasted nice
