Cooking Comes Naturally To Me

Cooking comes very naturally to me Why I can boil water and even pour tea Ask me to toss salad and, whoosh--one, two, three Your basic veggies, topped with beer nuts and provolone cheeze* Now heating up a hotdog is right up my alley or two-day-old leftovers; I don't dilly-dally Sometimes, I confess, I might burn the toast but I've never ever forgotten to unfreeze the roast** I know you're in awe of what I've told you so far Sweet Baby James Taylor's immortalized it on guitar*** So I'll leave you with this incredible, amazing feat: On our honeymoon, I prepared the very first meal in our Motel 6 suite ~Canned tuna, swimming in mayonnaise, on white bread -- What a treat! __________________________________________________________ Chef's tips: *The aged kind, that really smells **Well, ok, I did forget this one time...golly, gee ***Not really.

Glad you enjoyed this one. Seems this canned tuna is a generational thing. You don't see gen x'ers or millennials living on tuna or peanut butter sandwiches anymore. I guess they have better taste these days. LOL. :) gw

Tuna and mayonnaise are not my favorites, but tuna and Miracle Whip are. I would be right over. Sweet write!

Miracle whip ran out of miracles for me. I liked it when I was younger. Now it's Hellman's Mayonnaise for me. Go figure.... :) gw

Thank you so much, compatriot. I was hoping someone would enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed concocting it.... Don't worry though. If you're ever at my table, I'll make sure the affair is catered. LOL. Thanks again! Best wishes, gw
