Perfect melted cheese,
sprinkling of pepperoni.
medley of the gods.

Milling grains just so

Adding water to make dough

A not-so-good cook

Really don't like cooking much

Calling take-out now

Sliced bread, ground legumes

Purée of fruit spread atop

or: PB and J

Meatball spaghetti

Italian dressing salad

Where’s my garlic bread?

Ooooh, bacon and eggs

Spaghetti carbonara

Breakfast for dinner

Crisp crust cracks softly

Butter melts on my tongue

Garlic warms the air

blue corn taco shell

taco seasoned taco meat

sour cream salsa cheese

(inspired by tonight’s dinner)

Jilly, my cat says, since there was actually no food in dish or haiku, it doesn’t count.

Thanks Irish! I needed that garlic bread!

Choc-o-late ganache

On choc-o-late layer cake

Filled with chocolate mousse

Under the white tent:

In long rows dotted with plates

Friends gathered to eat

A haiku recipe

Orzo, broccoli

Feta, basil, and olives

olive oil, pine nuts

Roast, veggies, salad

Sunday dinner for the fam

Don’t forget the rolls!

I just realized my haiku sounds like a jump rope chant.

Boil, mash, roast or fry

Baked with cheese or in a soup

Potatoes are jake

Fingers tap on the keyboard, the order is in

Table is set

Doorbell rings, dinner is here

Dropped the granola

Oats, nuts, seeds blanket the floor

Wish I had a dog

Okay, not food-related, unless we were thinking of garlic. This really happened in 2018 at a small square along the water and I wrote about it that night. My half-Italian DH and I still get a childish giggle all these years later.

September in Venice

Delivery man

Rests on his empty hand cart

What did I just hear?

Triple ice cream scoops

Hot fudge sauce drizzled on top

Dollop of whipped cream

Put the cookie down

I only ate half so far

Now I can’t find it

( true story tonight)

Tomatoes bubbling

In a stainless steel stock pot

Soon reduced to paste

I'm tired of processing tomatoes, but I have another bushel waiting.

Sweetened on the vine

Warm, plump, juicy tomatoes

Savored with basil

-that was lunch-

No cookies with lunch

No eating after seven

I weigh in this week!
