salmon with red cabbage, asparagus, Caesar's salad, penne with

Jane Jacobs could analyze how it all got to our table
or even how their daughter...

The first tale made in the heaven talks about Adam and Apple
Apple is in the lives of people as a fruit of humble
All the gentlemen in gender born with a throaty Adam's Apple
Not New York...

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...

I said, "Fine!  How about steak and taters or rainbow trout?"
"No" she insisted, "I want an exotic Italian dish!"
Alas, I lost another tete-a-tete spousal skirmish!

How do I eat thee? Let me count the ways:
sauced, buttered, plain,
sprinkled with Parmigiano Reggiano,
pesto, pancetta, bacon.
Rowdy rigatoni, flamboyant farfalle,
perky penne, funny fusilli, lovely linguini,
spunky spaghetti,
personality abounds.
An atavistic love affair
with semolina goodness
in all shapes, sizes
like...

No pease porridge for me if you please
neither hot nor cold
especially not if what's in the pot
is nine days old

Penne and spinach
with walnuts and gorgonzola
on top...ummmmmm.
All the fresh garden salad,
you can eat
and garlic bread sticks, too.

Black forest, cherry cheesecake,
with cherry syrup
rolling down the sides,
of a plate drizzled
the liquid chocolate.

Murals of flowery scenes
and music to...

the sweet fragrance of fresh basil, 
an added invitation to...

Pasta with tomato sauce and basil please!
Or, white pasta with olive oil will do,
Steaming hot, slippery, sprinkled with cheese,
How about tagliatelle smothered in ragu',

Cannelloni stuffed with ricotta and spinach,
Thick lasagne layered with ham.
Please say it's...
