List of Member Poems

Premium Member Nachos

This combination makes one hell of a snack.
For cheese, you need cheddar and Monterey jack.
There are other combinations many people know.
Spice it up will a little chopped jalapeno.
To provide some very appetizing scenes,
bring out some chili that has no beans.
For salsa, use mild, medium, or hot.
Are more people coming over?  You will need a lot!
However, you will not have a complete combination.
Toasted tortilla chips provide the basic foundation.
Invite all your friends to dig right in.
You have some tasty nachos.  Let the snacking begin.

Premium Member Margaritas

The kind most people enjoy all of the time,
is the traditional made from juice of the lime.
You need tequila and salt to mix this drink.
However, there are more different kinds than most people think.
Do not forget either Triple Sec or Cointreau.
Bring all these ingredients together, and away you go.

Have you ever made these drinks with strawberries?
They can be made with pineapples, peaches, or raspberries.
This is one favorite having great variety.
Any bartender will make one for you and me.

Premium Member Chop Suey

It is as American as crackers and cheese.
So many people believe it is Chinese.
Cook meat or shrimp in a wok that is very nice.
Serve it with lots of veggies and white rice.
If you travel to places such as Shanghai or Beijing,
most of the people living there never heard of such a thing
A Chinese restaurant is the only place you will see
this famous dish of great popularity.
You can find it on a menu in either column A or column B
This item is known to all as “Chop Suey”


Premium Member Restaurant Truth

A nearby restaurant appears to be great.
For dinner, there is usually a long wait.
So many customers think the food is fabulous.
Are there this many people gullible and oblivious?
A truck arrives during early business days.
It leaves a big delivery of frozen entrees.
A culinary delight drawing a patron’s raves,
is actually coming out of microwaves.
That is the truth about what the people extol.
It is all done because of quality control.

Cook

I’m the cook, I’m the cook, I’m the cook,
I cook in different ways,
It’ll be healthy, sweety, purity
People like foods, cooking in woods
My cooking is healthier,
It becomes them wealthier
I, do, different foods and delicacies 
With healthy, sweety, purity 
Though, I thought
Why don’t I’m a cheff
But, people said, “oh cook,
Become a cheff is tough”.
Then I do my work
I asks, Why are you eating an oily food? People says
Willy or nilly, we fill our belly
I say , don’t go as silly.

                                                                U.S.AURROBINDHAN
