Can Still Hear Mom Yelling - Hlm

 
winter comes quickly
one day all is pristine white -
cars snow covered ships

This is when mother made her robust stew
vegetables and beef in the pot she threw
the aroma filled the house
all were sniffing like a mouse
meat so tender we barely had to chew

we loved the gravy  would dip bread to soak it up-  till there was none left

Sara Kendrick Date: 1/21/2022 5:16:00 AM You mom was a wise woman. She got her children to eat some food items that they probably would not have eaten separately but when combined they gobbled down. I really like this one. I enjoyed reading it. It reminds me of my soup that I prepare about twice a month, but my husband still fusses. I love it but for some reason he sees it as food for someone who is sick. LOL..Your visit to my page was revivifying.
