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

Cooking is the art of making inedible food edible which is why Adam & Eve stuck to fruit and nuts ....Aloha! Rico

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
