Fast And Furious

Rozina

 

Fast and furious

It was funny to see

They whizzed around

Like bees getting honey

 

"Today's local produce

Cook comfort food

Win the immunity pin

If your dish is good"

 

A cooked with duck

B used the beef

C threw in celery

From stalk to leaf

 

D cut his finger

Called up the medic

"Oh hurry please hurry

I'm getting frantic"

 

"1 minute left"

Said the loud chief judge

"Oh no!" E screamed

"My egg won't budge!"

 

"Push it pull it"

Shouted friends up there

"He must move this

Be careful take care"

 

Last second it popped

Out of the pot

Right onto his plate

Right on the dot.

I like watching Masterchef, Great British Bake off and other cooking contests. Unfortunately even after all this, I'm a lousy cook but I can do eggs.

    Nothing wrong with eggs! Fun poem Rozina which brought a smile to my face

    • Rozina

      Thank you.

    • Paul Bell

      As long as you can do eggs, you will be protein rich. Ok, my food's arrived. lol

      • Rozina

        Thank you. Do you cook the traditional English roast beef and Yorkshire pudding? My English friends said they'll make this for me even if it's not a Sunday.

        • Paul Bell

          Compulsory In Britain, roast beef and Yorkshire pudding, and that's just for desert.

        • L. B. Mek

          the only thing
          that's half decent, about me
          is my cooking
          and as a fellow foodie
          that's a blessing, I cherish mightily..
          lol
          but really, I too grew up on MasterChef
          and the food network
          is my place of zen...
          lol
          (thank you, what a lovely homage
          to something that brings, simple
          and yet genuinely comforting, joy
          to my life)

          • Rozina

            Thank you. What would you cook for our MPS picnic?

            • L. B. Mek

              ooohhh, that's putting me on the spot
              'what larks'..
              overall theme would be something Spring-ish
              and mindful to diverse needs..
              so maybe, a vegan starter
              (a chilli infused vegetable tartare on a crisp tart bake base)
              served aside a zingy, smoked mackerel salad with choice of dressings
              (let's see, it's a picnic so nothing too elaborate for the mains)
              how about, a simple yet lusciously cheesy risotto
              and we can take some more vegetable stock in a flask
              to reinvigorate it, at park
              served aside roasted bone marrow, use game stock to heat up..
              and then, we can buy ice cream or fruit salad for dessert
              on our way to or from the park itself
              like the good old days..
              that would be an interesting meal
              defo a few conversation starters, me thinks..
              (thank you, that was so much fun)
              oh and y'all bring the alcohol! 🍾πŸ₯‚
              lol

              • Rozina

                Oh yes please!

              • dusk arising

                Made me smile and is so very reminiscent of the few masterchef and master potter etc shows i have watched. Nice one, enjoyed it.

                • Rozina

                  Thank you.

                • Rocky Lagou

                  A really nice poetic take on culinary undertakings. I mean, I also, am a sucker for all food channels. I find it quite interesting and intriguing, but the funniest part about it though is that I don't even know how to properly make any dish. Welp, I'll just stay watching the pros do it.

                  • Rozina

                    Thank you. Keep watching, keep learning, keep writing.

                  • Bella Shepard

                    We do seem to have a fascination with food and its preparation. And if you're limited to eggs, just think of the multitude of ways to fix them. I think a new cooking show is in order, "Eggs 'R Us". This was such a delightful and fun read!

                    • Rozina

                      Eggs R Us - that's great Bella! Thank you.

                    • orchidee

                      Someone's gonna have an accident on there, I feel, with all that rushing around, ovens, knives, etc!

                      • Rozina

                        Sometimes they do! Thank you.

                      • Vamsi Sudha

                        Dear Rozina, right on time !! And you did make my mouth water for a while..
                        Looks like MPS poets are fond of cooking. πŸ™‚

                        • Rozina

                          Thank you. I wonder what food each poet would cook to bring to our MPS picnic together with their own brand of poems!

                          • Vamsi Sudha

                            I would surely get Dosa's Indian special dish, loved by everyone..

                          • sorenbarrett

                            Rozina a very entertaining write. I love cooking and love to watch cooking shows to get new ideas. I never take down recipes or measurements but love to get ideas of what may go well togeather.

                            • Rozina

                              Thank you. My husband is the chef in our family. He is an 'instinctive' cook! He doesn't seem to follow any recipes or measurements or watch the cooking shows but by instinct knows what goes well together, how much to add etc. His dishes are very tasty.

                            • Neville


                              you can't beat a good egg now can ya

                              .. I enjoyed reading through today's main course Roz .. it had an aftertaste of alphabetti spaghetti ... πŸ™‚

                              • Rozina

                                Haha thank you Neville.

                              • Goldfinch60

                                Good fun words Rozina.
                                I have been cooking all my life.

                                Andy

                                • Rozina

                                  Thank you Andy. You could cook us a feast if MPS poets got together for a picnic!

                                  • Goldfinch60

                                    I surely would Rozina, it would be an honour.

                                    Andy
