Bagel Day
...Hooray! Hooray! It’s Bagel Day!

Shadows of lost time stretch in their waltz,
Carried by the cold wind that whispers forgotten promises,
Hopes and freedoms, captured in dr...

The labels on my spices: a culinary hell.

...I pity those who can’t eat bread
But opt for gluten-free instead
For sourdough with hardened crust
And slathered butter is a must.
A bagel topped with lots of seeds
Is all a body really needs

Beef On Weck
...BEEF ON WECK

Beef on Kümmelweck.
Spread a bite of horseradish
And serve with french fries -
Salty and crispy.
Serve up beer.
Cheers!

In dream as searching for hope another rhymes,
They met the grass, everywhere,the grass of hope;
But neither fate nor faith were set to moral slope...

...I love any bread with seeds -
Bagels, rolls or rye,
Pumpernickel, crusty loaves -
They all will satisfy.
