she petitely
sits in my
kitchen
now is my
chance to
fulfill her
hips to
begin
with
an antipasto
then secunda
as i maniacally
in my mad man
laugh make
her prima
all the while
vino rosa
flowing
the pesto is
made with
out pine
nuts but
pumpkin
seeds
as i feed
her between
closed mouth
mmms
her eyes
the size of
dinner
plates
but
wait
as i wipe
her lips and chin
there's still
dessert
and a
final toast
with cold
lemon
cello
to your
wealth
health and
happiness
i rub her
belly and
burp my
baby

In King Herod's Antipasto Test
Salome's Salami came out best
Though John lost his head
Her, "King's Kosher Spread"
Was heads and tails above all the rest!

A poet was making such clatter.
His friend ran to see what's the matter.
“I must clean all,” said he
“or my poems can't be
in Antiseptic Pentameter.”
His friend laughed at all of the chatter.
The other didn't grasp the matter.
“Eat Italian,” said he
“so your poems will be
in Antipasto Pentameter.”
“My problem with gluten's the matter
and why I must make so much clatter.
I'm allergic you see.
I'd get shakes and would be
writing in Spastic Pentameter!”

Salubrious antipasto
Trimmed to be vociferous
Left without the tympani
Holding up a symphony
Greased well guaranteed articulate
Inundated synchrony
Molded into ebony
Gone on before the starting gate
Innate
Careening toward a screening
Where is all this the leading?
A gracious over-seeding
All sliding towards a feeding
In generosity I ate

Awaken taste buds
Lovely Linda
Makes food tasty
Um um good
Peach Chipotle BBQ Sauce
Your taste buds won’t
Be the same
Chipotle is the one to blame.
Peach & Apple Salsa
Time to have a siesta
Red Wine Antipasto
Divine
All you need is a glass of wine
Olive Tapenade
Takes you over to a promenade
Fire & Ice Wine
When cooking it’s smelly
That now turns into a Jelly

One try
Your taste buds won’t forget

Smells all the way down the hill

Go on the web

The Best of the sunny Okanagan
You will ask for more.

Chilled Pinot Grigio and Chianti
on each side of the long table,
twenty seats for twenty guests;
Antipasto with zesty dressing...
colorful vegetables with chunks
of sharp provolone and hard salami...
to be served with crunchy bread,
the kind that grandmother used to bake.
Oh, wait the Creamy Alfredo with chicken and spinach
is steaming on a huge serving plate...what a work of art!
Oh, the aroma of the Parmesan cheese
fills the nostrils with the urge to start;
one by one, the well-dressed guests walk
into the dining room...who said they are guests?
It's family: grandpa, grandma, uncles, aunts and cousins!
we'll surely enjoy this Sunday dinner as last week.
What about dessert? Sweet pastries and chocolate Tiramisu
with a strong cup of espresso and a shot of Sanbuca Romana;
would you like to join us and meet the friendly chef Mario?
There's plenty of food for everyone...Buon Appetito!
