Homely Appeasements

Homely Appeasements 'You are what you eat', say the dieticians! There is no escape from gormandising I'm a foodie! It's aroma inflates my spirits I once tasted garlic cottage cheese curry In my dream, and my restive spirits unruffled The next day for gastronomical delights to perfection Home made bread, nicely buttered is a soul comforter Especially when it sandwiches cheese on garden fresh lettuce A serving of fruit yogurt calms my high tensed nerves Another breakfasty delight is the aroma of salted butter When two yolked eggs are fried together, they smile on Warm toasts garnished with lemony herbs and sausages Lunch I can binge on mangoes, my favourite fruit I remember my granny warning me in childhood Of having far too many alphonsos, but I couldn't be appeased As week after week they tempted me on their arrival in baskets From the botanical gardens, a tradition that continues till today Grandpa winked, 'Enjoy the king of fruits to stay healthy!' Fruity salads with tenderly roasted chicken for dinner Is incomplete without soufflés, puddings or desserts I'm happiest rustling up new dishes and relish my concoctions If invited out I gorge on the aroma of warmth and fondness With which the loving hostess has arrayed her heavenly cuisine Cinnamony coffee, hot or cold anytime synergises me for a bouncy day June 26, 2016 For Lewis Raynes Contest- I Love Food
