Oh my, she's cooking one of her own kind! Has she gone completely out of her mind? Sauteing that cut of beef is all too altruistic even worse, her behavior is cannibalistic! I don't know who she's trying to impress but her folly will put her diner under duress. After one look at Molly May cooking a steak, whoever it is will want to make a fast break. No amount of garlic will hide the beefy taste Not even if with wine she should decide to baste. It's disgraceful for a bovine to do such things Couldn't she have fried up some chicken wings? Maybe she has that disease that mad cows get But her smile says Molly does not have one regret I wonder who's gone missing from the cattle herd I should tell the rancher. What she's doing is absurd!

Great read indeed! "Maybe she has that disease that mad cows get" Big smiles! I learnt a new word too (cannibalism) before looking up, I thought it some things like capitalism :-) Have a nice weekend dear lovely friendly big poetess ~ AA

Evidently, cannibalism is an acquired taste for bovines. lol Thanks, Beryl.
