not asking for much...

Getting broiled in the daytime
And slow-cooked at night,
Could it be that
Al Gore was right?...

sizzling potato pancakes
flipped, browned and crispy
sour cream and applesauce topped
served with broiled sausage
spicy italian
sip red wine

With this chicken I make
this promise…
That I won’t eat you fried…
With this chicken I make
this promise, that I will,
only eat you baked, broiled, 
or grilled…

 441 

There are 441 calories
in 4 1/2 medium roasted broiled
or baked chicken wings

In an all-you-can-eat competition
the winning contestant
scoffed 441 wings
in half an hour 

Congrats?
Absolutely sickening!

BROILED GREENSHELL MUSSELS
Two pound box half shell mussels
From Asian store.
Crushed garlic, brown with butter
Combine lemon juice
Pour it on mussels
Broil, served hot
Yum!

I don’t think
there is a definitive recipe 
for love--
I mean, I’ve fried
broiled
baked
and no two
ever
come out 
exactly the same--

and, maybe,
that is the compelling
mystery:
if it could be duplicated
precisely
somehow love
would not 
remain love,
would it?...

There was a king of Plugglup
                                   His queen was not so grown-up
                                               She in a hurry
                                          Botched up the curry
                               And showed her broiled bottom up....

He liked to stand out in the fresh air
And breathe in the coming storm
The clouds broiled upwards and the wind strengthen
With no doubt they would spill out to the ground

He liked the wind as it buffered him around
And the rain stung his icy face
The sun hides behind the clouds defeated
But he only wanted the wind and rain.

Parmesan-crusted grouper
A low country broil
Topped with lemon and lime sauce
A hint of garlic
Brushed with olive oil
Cheese to please
Yum!


*Tasted this at a restaurant and now have mastered the recipe.  Awesome fat-free 
way to prepare grouper.  Has to be broiled near the bottom of the oven or it will 
burn before cooking.  Entry for Sara’s "Low Country Boil" contest....

There once was a man
Who was beating a tin pan.
His hands were very sore,
Right down to the core.
He decided to have a good tan.

He made up a plan,
There's not much to really span.
The dog rose up and sniffed
From broiled beef there was a whiff;
A kitty was added to the clan.

Now the dear fellow
Was naught but yellow,
Can't tune up the pans he would beat,
He stacked them up in rows real neat,
And lets out a sound like a bellow....

The blood in my veins,
Long past smoldering, begins to scorch---
Beneath the skin
Purple agony erupts again,
Ignited by the shimmer of your eyes---
My breath is gone,
Excluded by my swollen tongue---
My nose feels like a potato
Overcooked,
Or dunked in hellish alien wines---

Impossible concentration---

How long will you stretch the agony---
My skin is near the breaking point,
Flame broiled beneath your gaze

Please release me,
Let me go...

There's a chef in my mind
That does all the cooking
Mixing words into rhyme
Brings home the bacon

Changes up recipes
Stirring freely
In and out of the pan
With poetic ease

If it's not to his taste
He spices it up
Broiled, fried, or baked
Poems served up for lunch

It's like he's on a mission
Always in my kitchen
Trying new recipes out
On whoever will listen

The chef in my mind
That does all the cooking
Mixing words into rhyme
Brings home the bacon...
