Who Needs Cake?

My son-in-law asked for my ‘take’
On a sourdough loaf that he baked
I said, “It is yummy,
“The texture is gummy,
“With bread like that who would need cake?”

Premium Member Summers were never so inviting

Warmest childhood memories of
my favourite aunt's country kitchen
with her homemade sourdough bread
and fresh clover honey gathered
from her very own bee hives

The Way To My Heart

A slow cooked roast with baked potato
Soft spread butter and sliced sourdough
Steamed baby carrots with peas
A-1 Steak Sauce and jellies
Apple pie, cooling by the window

Her way of letting me know, there was a sale at Macy's.
It always worked!

Sourdough

This old farmhouse kitchen
could tell its thrifty tales
of hard times, making do,
making bread from nothing –

snatching life out of air…
Snatching life out of air,

she turns wheat and water
to ferment by the stove,
and molds it with her hands
into tart, golden loaves.

Premium Member Thing's I Say That Make My Chihuahua Happy

Oh my pretty Tsuki
Tsuki-tsuki-tsoo
Aren't you a beautiful doggy?
You'd make a lovely sandwich!
Eat you on a toasted sourdough bun,
Yes I will. Yes I will.
I love you so much, kissy kissy,
Snuggle snuggle
Wouldn't you like me to
Roast you on a spit?
Bite a hole in your belly and
Suck your insides out!
Moose fart! PLPLPLPL!!
Such a lovely, lovely girl
You'd make the perfect pot roast
Or a mince pie, you're such a sweety,
Eat you, eat you up, nom nom nom.

Premium Member This Wanted to Be an Ode to Pain au Levain

Sourdough crumbles under my hands, 
flour thick on the counter, white haze 
same as my father used to breathe in. 

The skin splits where I score it, steam 
unfurling from the center like something 
trying to leave. 

I eat the heel first, next its soft middle, 
then the quiet between bites, imagining 
what’s left of his lungs. He was convinced
his anger would bully up, save him. 

He hated me, and now it’s just me 
communing with wild yeast. 

Hallelujah.

Mildred’s Onion Rolls

A colleague once gave me, on paper,
A recipe written by hand
For Passover rolls
And one of her goals
Was for choices I’d make to expand.

Though they can’t substitute for a bagel
Or some sourdough or seeded rye,
For the holiday week
When some bread I might seek,
They’re a stand-in on which I rely.

When I make them, I’m thinking of Mildred,
Though I’m certain that she is long gone,
But when I form the dough
Into roll shapes, I know
That her spirit I’m carrying on.
