What's Cooking Good Looking

with muse in hand
a romantic longing is the plan
dinner at eight
I hope he won't be late

sherry filled to the rim
soft music for us to spin
candles on the mantel
slight ring of dinner bell

waft of curry stuffed chops
and potatoes creamy and hot
buttermilk biscuits on the side
and dessert for which he decides

this is how mom said to get to a mans heart
with a romantic dinner from the very start

Not only the way to a man's heart, but a woman's as well. What time is dinner, Katherine? Deliciously romantic and a great entry for the contest. Your mom was a smart lady; bachelors especially appreciate a home cooked meal. They literally groan with delight while taking each bite. Enjoyed! Love, Carolyn
