Linda Alice Fowler Poet Rhyme

Simple Chef

Learned to cook
From a book

One pinch here
Scant use there

Here’s the plan
Prepare pan

Coat with flour
Bake one hour

Fill halfway
Don’t delay

So how come
Looks like gum

Hard as grout 
Must throw out

Tried again
Opened can

Good result
No insult

Returned book
Haughty look

Arturo Michael September 15, 2020 at 12:17 PM You tried...Fun but true Linda Alice Fowler September 15, 2020 at 1:35 PM I learned to cook from my grandmother. She used no books or measuring cups/spoons. Everything was a pinch, or a dab, or a handful. She was a fabulous cook. LOL Linda
