Premium Member Forgottens Remembered

she liltingly spun     smiling and singing
"You are my sunshine"    waving for us
          to join in

the pan dripped dancing tears on
the hot black stove where they sizzled and died

"My only sunshine"     with a quick hug
her apron splattered with a thickening marinara -
summer's proud yield

the kitchen...was there another room?

dried curled wall paper near the stovepipe
exposed the decor    carriages and princes of
        yesterday      Mom's childhood
   "You make me happy"

the old black spaniel curled in the middle
     nothing moving but eyes    wary of
being tripped upon      yet worth the risk
and perhaps a dropped meatball reward

        "When skies are gray"

Worn linoleum exposed paths of time
    the oak threshold     proof
of welcomes and farewells

not really noticed by we    in
   our comfort of "now"    not
thinking about our sunshine
       being gone

"You'll never know dear how much I love you"
       with a smile...always remembered

Premium Member Ode to Pasta

You are the stuff my culinary dreams are made of.
Unending shapes and sizes.
From skinny linguini to the rounded orecchiette 
and squiggly fusilli.
As my tongue tastes morsels of your saucy tubular goodness,
I compose a rhyme of the ancient marinara to atone
for my over-the-top pasta love.
Stuffed, plain, buttered. Swimming in Sunday sauce.
The tastiest were those plain whites I pilfered from the pot
before nonna caught me. Whack! with the wooden spoon.
It’s rumored my very first uttering was mangia – an oft-heard word
spoken by mama as she attempted to feed me.
“You’re going to turn into a rigatoni
if you don’t eat something else,” she implored.
Ha! If I were a rigatoni, we’d be cugini.
I only liked you, beautiful al dente you.
And semolina only, please. I accept no impastas!
You’ve been with me through thick and thin,
mostly thick ... around my hips.
Late night comfort snack,
midday bowl of depression-busting goodness.
The breakfast of strong Italian women!
You are Sophia Loren’s guilty pleasure.
Mine, too. With the emphasis on pleasure.
One bite and I am transported back to childhood. 
Visions of homemade pasta drying on pristine
white flour sack towels tantalize my taste buds.
You, dear pasta, are la bomba.
My love for you is unending, until we all farfalle down.

Premium Member Happy and Joyous Birthday To Elena

Elena's cooking is so much desired.
A wonderful chef, she is to admire.
Her Lasagna is all our favorite.
You want to eat slow, and just savor it.
Italian dishes are her Specialty.
Marinara sauce over Ziti with cheese.
She has many mouth watering dishes.
They are worth their weight in Gold 
and riches.
A sweet aroma comes from her kitchen.
Great food there, you don't know what you're missing.
A wonderful wife and mother she is.
Judy and I, send her this Birthday wish.

May all your days be filled with love,
and receive great blessings from God 
above.
May all your wishes do come true.
Great health and love for Gus and You.

Tavi G, Rusty, Judy, Me and Gaston
want to wish you Elena a Happy and 
Wonderful Birthday today. God bless
you and Gus (Tavi) Briana, and my boy
Brandon.

Marinara

on a stool
in my Nona's
kitchen sitting
watching there was
no food channel
it wouldn't have
mattered she had
no television
she was our
Italian Julia
Child

on a stool
in my childhood
i would watch
my Nona cook
without words
without recipes
a pinch of this
and three
bay leaves
for the
trinity

as time passed
before Nona
passed she passed
a rooted plant to
my Mum which
grew and then 
before my Mum
passed she passed
some of the same
rooted plant to
me which

i planted now
walking in my
backyard smelling
the fresh scent of
Nona and Mum's
kitchen i cut
without
measurement
or recipe the needed
amount i know i need
oregano

Premium Member Take a Bite of My Pasta If You Dare

Lasagna, linguine, spaghetti, ravioli, macaroni too
Is there any pappardelle for me and for you?
Here is marinara sauce lavished on angel hair
Sure try to take a bite of my pasta if you dare.

Shrimp scampi, chicken, blackened salmon. Why not?
Bucatini, vermicelli and fettuccine hit the sweet spot
Chunky meat sauce with hamburger a plenty.
I would add more cheese, but there simply isn’t any.

That is not fettuccine you fake connoisseur,
It is obviously tagliatelle. Your pedigree unpure.
Campanelle noodles with her sweet ruffled edges
Rivals cavatappi which gives cheese rather soft ledges

Spiral shaped fusilli has groves and crevices galore.
Radiatori noodles? I love this the best out of my top four.
Elbow macaroni for the kids maybe. They think it’s fine.
But make a fancier dish if you don’t expect me to whine.

Butterfly like farfalle makes me smile and laugh.
Gemelli is too twisty; it deserves a lot of gibble and gaff.
Penne noodles are my least favorite. I do not like them at all.
I could only eat them six or seven days a week winter and fall.

Olives

Olives

I like olives - so smooth and round, 
wrinkled or puckered, by the pound, 
from the deli or in a jar,
savory flavours, the best by far.
Firm and juicy, large or small,
ripe or salty, I like them all.
Stuffed with garlic, pimento slice,
those saucy tongues are pretty nice.
I like them as a tapenade.
On salad or pizza, they make me glad.
I like them ripe, I like them green,
sliced in marinara, petite or Queen.
Sprinkled on nachos, straight from the shelf,
green, black or purple, all by them self.
I eat them slowly, one at a time.
Or chomped on in pairs is equally fine.
Alfonso, Mission, Manzanilla,
Beldi, Gordal, Cerignola
Amfissa too and Kalamata,  
Castelvetrano, and Taggiasca. 
Dry cured, salt cured, soaked in brine,
to me they all are just - sublime.

Premium Member 2021 First Saturday In May

Derek  

Will you be able to bear it?  

First weekend in May  

And who the Yankees will play, 

Bringing slugging Louisville woods  

Tigers score if they could.  

In the Bronx  

Bombers get what they want.  

While springtime proposes  

A tradition featuring red roses.  

In Kentucky, a Derby is always held.  

Stories these four legged athletes do tell.  

As three-year Olds  

Being very bold  

In weather no longer cold  

Hanging in their stalls  

Standing tall  

Waiting for publicity and post time calls  

Dreaming of a Seabiscuit run  

When the mile dirt something is done  

Everybody will be wondering who actually won.  

Cheering having fun.  

Applauding the one  

Off to the winner circle celebrating in the warm bluegrass sun.  

On the first  

Your Marlins will have the thirst.  

Using those bats  

To physically challenge the politically hosted Nats  

Retired Pinstripe General German American King George watching from heaven.  

Monitoring the two-dollar betting  

While conversing with Mr. Ruth  

Getting the Highlander truth  

And Mr. Martin will still stir the marinara sauce.  

Screaming and yelling, “yeah yeah you are the boss.”  

All this is summer entertaining.  

Purpose is relaxing so who is complaining. 

Good luck playing Donnie ball.  

Fielding a civil warrior army whose names are not on any military memorial wall.  

Instead, their remembrance could be in a record book.  

Noticed if a fan decided to look.  

As I end this seventh inning stretch  

I do hear Cracker Jacks do make a nice afternoon mouthwatering catch.

Meal Me

A collection of eaters
sharp glints on dull knives.
Silver forking service
dunking bread permanently cancelled.

I do not like
a hot-mike talking  dinner.
I do not like the tinkle and clatter
of plates and dentures.

I want to eat a hoagie in a dark closet.
Slurp my gravy on a lapping tongue.

Gustation and gab
the flap of white lining and napkins
no, I do not like it.

Spoon my soup
through a letterbox,
let me finger my food
in a gut gulping gestation
far from the marinara
the red stained drip of dipping neckties.

Give me a take away,
give me gobble space
some bones to stew upon,

but most importantly –
long before the crème brulee 
let me eat 
ALONE.
