song of the fresh egg
just laid in the house of hens
now cook in my pan
Food
Last Night Cleaning the Frig
still cleaning out the frig
and the cupboard
still have carrots
great with homemade hummus
can of tuna for tuna salad
500 degree oven for tandoori bread
I ate well
enough for tomorrow
_______________
For real, did not go to the grocery store for two weeks. Ate and created with what I had.
Cleaning Out the Cupboards
I discover
vegan brownies
all that is required
flour
sugar
cocoa powder
baking powder
salt
oil and water
vanilla
mix
bake in super hot oven
so happy
________________
I am challenging myself to see how long I can go without going to the grocery store. It has been a week. Now that I have my brownies I’m good for maybe another week.
Still Cleaning the Frig
carrots are starting to take root again
kale is turning yellow with want
dried and wrinkled is the lemon
only one tiny garlic remains
luck that the tofu is still good
and the almonds
don’t forget the spices
now I feast

Fine dining in the Hoftrammm
Riding through Amsterdam
So many flavors
If Writing Was Like Eating Chocolate
I would consume all its richness
partaking of all its calories without regret
seek out the dark and the sweet
bitter or salted with caramel
seeking samples from all over the world
if writing was like eating chocolate
i would not gorge myself on it
rather nibble
tongue out the flavor
experience its essence
then swallow
