Fragrant Food

A smell like lunches cooked by Gran - oh, boy, my mouth will water still - the veggies boiling in the pan and roasted beef - I'd eat my fill, and marvel at her skill. Dessert was always clotted cream on heaps of fruit she'd stewed; It's wafting now...alas, but only in my dream, recalling Gran's fantastic food, and how she cooked for all the brood. For Sara's 'Scent' contest
