Poetry and Sayings

Cooking

• A perfect poem for a family celebration page like Christmas or Thanksgiving.
  Thank God for dirty dishes,
  They have a tale to tell.
  While other folks go hungry,
  We're eating very well.
  With home and health and happiness,
  We surely shouldn't fuss.
  For by this stack of evidence,
  Life's been good to us.



• And the very best bread was of my mother's own making - the best in all the land.
  
  
• Grandma's Recipes
  This has always puzzled me, just how much is a pinch?
  These recipes of dear Grandma's surely are no cinch.
  A "snip" of this, a "dab" of that, a "lump" of something else,
  Then "beat it for a little while", or, "stir until it melts."
  I have to be a wizard to decipher what she meant,
  By all these strange proportions in her cookbook worn and bent.
  How much nutmeg in the doughnuts? Grandma wouldn't flinch,
  As she said, with twinkling eyes, "Oh, just about a pinch."
  There must have been in her wise head a measuring device,
  That told her just how much to use of sugar, salt and spice.
