I
tried to cook
But
lost my place
On
the recipe card
That
held the right mix
Of
salt to sauce.
And
as I swung my hips
In
your direction
I
lost the spice jar as well.
But
oh my oh my
I
didn’t lose the sauce!

Oh how many times I forgot the amount of an ingredient like salt, but so true as long as you don't forget the overall recipe. Wonderful poem and thanks for linking up with us!! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Janine!!
DeleteHahaha! Perfect innuendo for commedia! Lovely porcelain!
ReplyDeleteThank you Susan--it was a fun write!
Deletedamn! very creative (on the FTSF) theme.
ReplyDeleteexcellent photo-accompaniment* but those little figurines got to make you think, what did the world look like to those people, back in the 1700's? Like did everyone wear shirts with frilly cuffs and the women had arms like Popeye?
sorry, careening off topic, enjoyed your Post.
(* that's a real word, right?)
Thank you Clark!
DeleteGreat poem for FTSF! I'd lose the salt, sauce and everything in between...even with recipes, I'm quite a disaster in the kitchen!
ReplyDeleteAww--thank you for stopping by!
Deleteoh saucy...haha...nothing like cooking together...and i am sure you can figure that recipe out...smiles.
ReplyDeleteSmiles to you as well! Hope you are feeling better!
DeleteLove the graphic and your cool, unique twist to FTSF. Saucy!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Kristi--I am so glad that you stopped by!
DeleteI feel like I need to read and reread a new recipe only once. If I think about it too much, it will surely be horrible. It's the older recipes that I mess up. I need to "recreate" what I had done the last time, so I take note of how I did it the time before...that's when it gets too hard for me!
ReplyDeleteI do that in recipes...and mis-measure stuff because I read the wrong line. Haha. And I'm SURE you are a fabulous cook! :D
ReplyDeleteLOL....great humor, Audrey! I hope the others caught the double-meaning because I thoroughly enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteI love this! FTSF is so much fun- you never know what super creative stuff people will come up with. Your poem evoked an image of me in my kitchen tonight, dancing by myself!
ReplyDeleteWOW!! Really very interesting!!GOD<3U
ReplyDeleteHehe. . .that's one kind of cooking that's working up my appetite for more, even if it's little bit on the spicy side. . .
ReplyDeleteWitty and imaginative!
So cute! I love it; spicy sauce!!
ReplyDeleteWow ... a delicious poem !!!
