Notes About The Poem

Zabaglione Zyx

Zabaglione is an Italian dessert
You will savour every spoonful
Xanthic in colour a delightful creamy yellow
Whisk egg yolks and sugar in a bowl over barely simmering water until
Velvety in texture 
Use an electric whisk it – it could take up to 15 minutes
Take three tablespoons of Prosecco wine and pour this into the mixture
Save the rest to drink later!!!!
Resume whisking until it’s soft and fluffy
Quickly remove the bowl from over the hot water and
Place it in a bowl of cold water or on a cold surface
Oh no – time for more whisking until its cool
Now you need to whisk the whipping cream
My goodness this is hard work - but it is worth the effort
Lightly fold the cream into the egg mixture, hopefully the
Kitchen doesn’t look like a bombsite – phew!
Just a couple more steps to do and then 
Italian Zabaglione will be tickling your taste buds
Have two tall glasses ready
Gently pour the dessert into them
Fill them right to the top of the glass
Every spoonful will be delicious
Decorate your dessert
Chocolate shavings can be added as a garnish 
Bon Appetite!
All you need to do now is wash the dishes

I hope you're happy Jan, you just blew about 1500 diets.....This is a really unique take on the contest, smooth flowing, with great texture and body. After judging this contest I may have to go into hiding.

You did good. I can't get over it. The soup is literally now the cooking channel with a twist, and you even through in the yolks!

I love cooking - simple home made foods nothing too fancy. I used to bake a lot but now my son is at university I don't bother so much. The odd thing is I do not make pancakes - yet more memories from food:-) hugs jan xx

wow, Jan, this is REALLY good. I don't know why, but people seem to be doing better quality poems in this form by doing the letters backwards. I just love yours.

Thanks Andrea I agree with you about the backwards ZYX FORM and I am really enjoying seeing the poems - John will have a tough job judging this one:-) hugs Jan xx

I started to do one about animals then changed my idea and this simply flowed after I found the z and x words to fit together and make sense. I don't envy John at all I've seen such creativity for this particular form:-) hugs jan xx
