Where did the month go?

It has been a very quick month. I have been enjoying the spring-like weather we've been having. I thought there for a moment I was living in Nevada or somewhere warmer. I am writing more all the time. I just submitted five poems to a BYU poetry place. I want to submit more poetry, but I get cooking up a storm in the kitchen and the time is gone! I love to cook and eat and make yummy things. I'm writing one of my favorite recipes every day, so in a few months I'll have a recipe book too. A lot of them are simply stored in my head and I know how to make the stuff, but nobody else has the recipe. I'm glad that my family put together a family favorites cookbook in 1987 before all of my aunts passed on. I love the food they prepared and they are still a part of my life as I cook the recipes that were some of their favorites.

My New Baby!

A fridge, a new refrigerator

I’m in love with my new

   sleek, clean, sweet refrigerator.

“How can that be?” You ask.

A fridge, a new refrigerator

I’m in love with my new

   sleek, clean, sweet refrigerator!

“What are you saying?”

A fridge, a new refrigerator

I’m in love with my new

   sleek, clean, sweet refrigerator.

“I thought you said,

‘A fridge, a new refrigerator

I’m in love with my new

   sleek, clean, sweet refrigerator.’

Yes, that is exactly what I said.

It’s because . . .

I love to eat

I love to cook

I love to make food and

Keep it chilled

So when I’m ready to eat it

There it is! -- right in the fridge

Where I put it . . .

   so I can get it out

   and warm it up or

   sip it, sauté it,

   slurp it, stir it,

   or savor it

As soon as I get it out of my fridge;

Then I either share it with my family

Or pig out on it. Yum.

And I have a new refrigerator!

And it’s sparkling white and clean

All ready for me to mess it up

With yummy food for breakfast,

Lunch, snacks, or dinner!
