savoury feast

arqios

 

savoury feast

( an epulaeryu )

 

 

A ladle lifts the broth’s

amber swirl as though some

ancient hearth were waking;

 

steam rises like heralds

calling us to gather,  

to savour this  

gold

        A lovely picture animated to call one most literal but to me metaphorical as well. I can smell it now.

                    What a lovely opening, my friend. The kitchen feels almost sacred here...heat, aroma, memory, and gathering all folding into one generous invitation. Beautifully crafted, Rik. πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›
