My Father's Instructions: Cooking Filet Mignon

Have it
At room 
Temperature
Before cooking.

No marinade.
Just coarse salt
And pepper.

Hot heavy pan
Medium to high heat.
Flip when seared.

Dark brown.
Lower heat.

Lotsa butter,
Mushrooms,
Chopped shallots,
Drops of 
Lee and Perrins.
Squirt of lemon &
Dash of parsley
At the end.

Have a warm plate.
Drop it all from the pan.
Keep plate 
On low warm.
Let it sit for 20min.

Tenderloin is delicate.

YESTERDAY a refrain

Toasted teacakes,parmesan cheese
Croquetted chicken,fricasees;
Apple dumplings,yogurt creamed
Welsh mutton,in pudding,steamed.

Baked Alaska,Banbury cake
Lyons ices with  Cadbury flake;
Gorganzola buttered roll
Side salad oil drizzled,in a bowl.

Melba meringue,warm mince pies
Filet mignon,mushrooms and fries;
Sunday roast in dripping jelly
Onions and peppered tripe belly.

Trout poached,not microwaved
Slowly cooked,and no time saved;
Thick fishstock,bouillabaissed
Beefsteak so lightly braised.

Hash browns,sausage,gravy and mash
Casseroled stew or goulash;
Poached,simmered maybe pressure cooked
Tempting meals from Granma's book.

CABAL

      With factories and private jets, the elite 
produces 100, 000 times more carbon 
than you or I. (It has gone up to .04 from .03 ppm. 
Yet, we are the ones lectured in scare, tactic.

Tell me something. Do you see the Davosites 
eating bugs and car-pooling?

Do you see them eating filet mignon and travelling 
in a style harmful to the Planet?

Extravagance is not conservation.
It is the opposite.
They are enslaving you with pretty notions 
and hypocrisy.
"Israel will be compassed about with armies"
...Iran, Turkey, Sudan, Russia, Lebanon, Syria...

Psalms 83, Ezekial 38.

"Wonder what is on tv tonight?"
(and you haven't even flipped through the Bible 
to see if it was prophesied)C

(I know it's not as riveting as a cookoff or American Idols.)

One third of the population will perish from their coming war and deeds. That is 2.6 BILLION WITH A "B"
AL...

Thelo na se pantrefto

wanting and needing often found her
hungry. she'd often find something special
at Dingles Restaurant
a special place that catered to the taste of
strangers, or those who liked
gamey meat, and garlicky breads.
she often had a lot of steaks, tarts and 
rice dishes, for a discount, that's why
people often came to get the special.
ask what the chef is eating and you'll probably
find a great deal.
tonight a friend and I are
excited to dine out, I think she's going to
say she'll marry me, so
I asked the chef to
fix something special to go with the bacon and dill? cucumber tarts
I ordered. maybe the pork blade steak with stir-fried vegetables
or maybe some smoked fish and a sour cream tart, or even the
classic fillet mignon with bacon and stuffed potato skins and a cauliflower au gratin.
if she answers yes, I told the chef to send out two small raspberry cakes with champagne. if she answers no Well the gingersnaps will have to do.

Summer Cooking

Summertime is here and it’s time to light the grill, 
Filet Mignon and Bratwurst always bring a thrill.
Family time outside on the old picnic table, 
I’m ready for some good cookin’,
man, my hubby’s so good lookin’!
No more time spent inside with phones or cable. 

Hot dogs for the kids with fresh lemonade, 
it’s an icy snow cone for me that’s homemade. 
Hamburgers with cheese and pickles for taste,
I’m ready for some good cookin’,
man, my hubby’s so good lookin’!
Let’s hope the neighbor kids don’t waste!

Let’s eat on the pool deck and watch the kids swim,
last year little Ella was thrown in by Uncle Jim.
All the delectable foods we make are so yummy,
I’m ready for some good cookin,
man, my hubby’s so good lookin’!
The scrumptious food rests in my full tummy!

So High Class

So, High Class

Torn by internal conflict
I paint on a darling smile
Put on my neatly creased suit,
In their eyes, this is me.
A patron of the country club
savoring filet mignon 
and a fine Bordeaux.

“I got the check,” I say;
As I dip my manicured hands
deep within a sea of freshly pressed plastic.
“Why thank you, Sir" and
 “Dinner was just fabulous.”

I return to my over priced Lincoln
and begin to drive off 
with a confident wave 
but 
my smile begins to smear.
I loosen my shirt and murmur
a sigh of utter relief.

Jones' Nose

Their unspoken opinions
are like a pot of unknowable, unnamed meats
including skunk parts
one morsel of filet mignon

Family or workplace
longer the hours, years of the living
opinions accumulate
perception strained through mortality

This stew of ethics
holds together, blows apart
trees, planets, atoms, galaxies
on or about year 2000

One must not
express the certainty
that the child's coma-induced vision of a dead grandparent
did not actually happen in heaven

One must feign
respect for all beliefs however abjectly
death denying
because they are harmless as

ozone
zebra
xylophone
zygote

A
beautiful day follows
on Jones' Nose
ripe blueberries, black cherries

Cas Tim Jan and Me

You have all heard I am sure of the three musketeers
The group with the swords not the ones with the funny ears

Reminds me of a joke that right here would apply
There are three kinds of people I tell you no lie
Those who are really quite good at math
And those who are not and that's that

They were the three musketeers but they were four
Their math was bad not three, four and no more
I hope you're all still with me, I'm not trying to be a pest
I need you to follow me because at the end there's a test

There is Casarah 
Yeah and hurrah
She is a good ma

Then there is Tim
You should know him
He's tall and trim

And  finally there is the kind hearted Jan
From England she's the one with no tan
Coy and demure behind her fancy fan
 
 If you kept count that makes three
Who can argue. You'd have to agree.
Now we have arrived at what I am trying to say
I've just joined them and I quite enjoy sword play

Do you see? I am number four.
I'll just walk through their door.
That makes me the best, the fillet mignon
It turns  out that I am frikin'  D'Artagnan.

Cattle and Suv's

Polar bears, spotted owls and honey bees 
Care nothing of scientific debates
Over flatus of cattle and SUV’s.

Some drop big oil drills and some drop big trees
To provide a place for our dinner plate,
With its filet mignon or black eye peas.

The planet goes on with its rolling seas
Immune to false conclusions and the hate
Over flatus of cattle and SUV’s.

Should politics and graduate degrees
Be allowed to sit and decide our fate,
While eating filet mignon/black eye peas?

Political winds, like a gentle breeze,
Carry the pollen of absurd debate;
Over flatus of cattle and SUV’s.

Perhaps all the powers of wannabe’s
Can save all the birds, fishes, ants and trees;
The filet mignon, and the black eye peas;
The flatus of cattle and SUV’s.

Party On

The date’s been set and many will attend
Just the penguin will be wearing his tux
A “come as you are” I did extend 
So expect to see antlers on the bucks

In the heart of Sherwood Forest we’ll meet
Guests will include many from Noah’s ark
Each one I can’t wait to heartily greet
The skunk will be seated with the aardvark

Filet mignon is the menu of choice
But heifers were threatening to boycott
So a vegan dish has made them rejoice
And something fishy may arrive by yacht

A songbird choir will be entertaining
(Can’t wait to see the tarantula dance)
Trees will give shelter if it is raining
Elk will surely line up, ready to prance

The Lion King and the Duke of Squirrel
Will receive the red carpet treatment
And Miss Piggy will be our cover girl
Turning heads of many a furry gent

It all sounds so grand, but here’s the best part
Once this party begins, there’ll be no end
Animals live in harmony; they’re smart
And not one other human will attend

Filthy Rich

Bacon-wrapped, filet mignon 

Beurre Blanc, or Sabayon 

caviar so delicate 

on your tongue, you will not forget. 

 

Crystal and golden spoons 

Do not forget the tea at noon 

for your name, an abbreviation 

Do not forget the reservation. 

 

A brand-new car in the drive 

my own pool, in which I dive 

all new clothes, every stitch 

How satisfying to be rich.

Bordeaux Kiss

I set the table, place for one
Pour the wine, cork undone
Filet mignon, to perfection done
Topped with greens, and a sauce of rum

The evening sets, as it always had
A gourmet meal, aint so bad
I make a toast to the other side
As silence waits, I must abide

As I hold my glass
Of Bordeaux wine
I dare to wish but for one more thing
In darkened silence, the phone to ring

Soufflé simply will not do
There is no sweet without you
The perfect meal evades me still
The evening fades into a chill

Sleep evades my dreamy mind
And in the haze of wishful thoughts
Dinner was served
With a Kiss

Shining City On a Hill

Republicans keep talking about a Shining City on a Hill, 

Problem is to get in you need a Million Dollar bill, 

They kicked out all the Middle Class and Poor people from the area, and relocated them to a Landfill, 

While everybody,s starving, they up there cooking filet-mignon on the grill, 

wondering what all the fuss is about a little old BP oil spill, 

Excuse me for not enjoying the sight of their Metropolis glowing in the Night!,

 I,m locked out the gate, 

Struggling to survive daily, seems my fate, 

and to top it all off, They do not care of my plight 

and it,s my taxes

 that,s paying for all that Goddamned Light!!!!

Eyes Wide Shut

I wanna go to Martha’s Vineyard, eat muscadines and drink wine.

I want my belly to swell with the fruit of our love.

I wanna drive on full and eat fillet mignon for breakfast.

I wanna live like God is my Father and Jesus, my Brother who saved me.

I wanna trust and never hate ‘n never be careful ‘bout nothin’.

I wanna be Scarlet in Scarsdale and Sr. Edward Crump at the Macy’s Day Parade.

I want green eyes and red hair.  I want hips that don’t exist.

I want Oprah on the phone right now!

I wanna drive my baby to school.

I want tuna on toast with capers and sweet nectar pomegranate juice. 

I wanna open my eyes....
