"The dinner table is the center for the teaching and practising not just of table manners but of conversation, consideration, tolerance, family feeling, and just about all the other accomplishments of polite society except the minuet." ~ Judith Martin {Miss Manners}
Today I'm savoring the flavor and sweet aroma {figuratively speaking} of my list of Saturday Simplicities:
- The simple joy of gathering the family around the dinner table, for food and conversation.
- The joy of preparing and cooking meals for all to enjoy. Filling them up and bringing a smile.
- For my love of vintage cookbooks.
- For my favorite set of eating utensils, a special fork and spoon.
- For the joy of writing Acrostic poems. Simply because it makes me happy.
C uisine of all varieties
O ffered in recipe form
O rganized for convenience
K eepsakes handed down
B rand new to vintage, from
O rdinary to extraordinary
O utside cooking, to inside cooking
K itchens with busy mommas
S erving one delicious recipe after another.
C reating magic in the kitchen
O ut of a list of ingredients
O vens warming, stove tops flaming, she
K eeps her hungry masses fed
I nside the home a mother happily goes about the task
N ight and day, of cooking meals and
G iving edible happiness, to the family she holds so dear.
S ilver in color and dipped in shape, for eating
P udding, and iced cream and cake
O f scooping it up and shoveling it in
O ften dripping, just a little down your chin
N ummyness you eat with a spoon.
F our pointy tines for eating my favorites
O f steak, shrimp and French fries
R endering my mouth delightfully busy
K nowing every delicious morsel will go to my waistline!
"Appetite is the best sauce." ~ French Proverb
