The oil goes in the pan,
And my love goes in with it.
As I prepare the meal I wonder,
I wonder what will it be this time?
Will it be an Italian dish
Full of reds and greens
With tomatoes and basil?
Or will glorious spices
Create the smell of India
With the yellow richness showing through?
I never know,
I never plan until I stand in the kitchen,
But in any dish that I make
It will be always have two things in it,
My passion for cooking,
And as ever,
It will be seasoned with love.

what's for diner? I'm coming round x
How about a nice fillet of pan fried salmon on a bed of mushroom risotto and a white wine and prawn sauce, with a fresh salad on the side, oh no sorry, that is what we had on Saturday it will be cold roast lamb and Jersey Royal potatoes tonight!
I am certainly tempted to scoff the lot except the wine because I'm t-total. sounds absolutely delicious so what time do you want me round knocking on your door?
One can always tell food made with love and meals made with not .
Very true. Thank you.
A fine write G.
Thanks Orchi.
Delicious poem, Goldfinch! Enjoyed it almost as much as I would enjoy one of your dinners.
Thank you Louis, you are always welcome.
Great write but its made me hungry haha
Hunger is always with me.
Never eaten in McDonalds - I do love good food. Even today's menu sounds great - will there be fresh mint and butter on those Jersey Royals? Even better with a bit of salt and pepper seasoning - I grind ours with the mortar and pestle ad always some to hand. Just come in from the garden - had to tie up the fennel - it was bending right over in the wind.
Once I went to MacDonald\'s many, many years ago and I swore I would never go again. The Jersey Royals were the first that I had this year so just put some freshly ground salt snd black pepper on them with lashings of butter.
Great hobby. Nice poem.
Thanks Augustus, it i both a hobby but more of a passion. This morning I intend to make some bread rolls and then think about what I will cook for dinner this evening.
Like you, I too RELISH cooking.
