Cinnamon, Sage and Chili Powder Please
Cinnamon, sage and chili powder please
Not together certainly, but these are the spices in my cupboard
Chili powder is needed once or twice a week
because this is what my husband likes to eat.
I confess, I love it also.
Chili. Chili. Chili. Chili. Chili.
With potatoes and corn, lots of meat, and hot peppers.
Wait! He does not like the hot peppers.
I put the jalapenos in my individual soup bowl
knowing it is I who loves those jalapenos and only me.
Sage is the spice that reminds me of turkey stufffing
Thanksgivings - the parade, the cousins, the frosted sugar cookies.
She lavishes the stuffing that is moist from the bowels of the turkey
Her smell permeates the kitchen, making me more grateful
For sage than anything else on Thanksgivings day.
Cinnamon is our family's go-to spice.
We lavish it on the top of cakes.
We sprinkle it on our flattened dough, before we roll it up.
We flip it onto our left over pie crust, and let the kids eat it.
Being a kid at heart, I eat it for the kids when they are not here.
Cinnamon, sage, and chili powder please.
These are my three top, utterly most favorite all-time spices.
