JWG's Grand Hodgepodge — Recipes (a poem)

Wherein JWG admits to planning meals around desserts.

97. Recipes

Recipes
Which have survived many generations
Whet many a mouth.

Remember the scents
Emanating from a well-stocked kitchen.
The simplest of meals enticed.

My Mother’s Recipe Box,
With all its well-worn, yellowing notecards,
I have gladly in my possession.

Cookbooks I learned from have been preserved.
I liked Betty Crocker and Farm Journal
Which nestle along with others on my shelf.

Some of my specialties were
Bread, jam, gingerbread, and chocolate cake.
My Mother instilled love for Dessert.

When I cook a meal,
It is often based on what’s for Dessert.
I make what I want to eat.

Perusing
The various Recipes I have used
Follows my diet.

With the budget "we" just passed? That can't be!

"Why are Smithtown teachers continuing to pay for school supplies out of their ownRead More pocket?" Since when? Ever see the big list of supplies kids get in their folders at the end of the year for them to bring in next year? I think you're talking about the wrong school district.
