Je veux créer un ragoût, je veux créer un souvenir, Le mener à la vie, à exploser, le goût à imploser Y mettre tous les bouquets et les saveurs de ma vie Remuer, rouler, extraire le fumet si longtemps perdu puis recréer le casting En faire un film de ma vie, le tout venant de mon potager J’émince, je coupe en cube, je rajoute une nuance aux champignons sauvages, en une éclaboussure, J’ajoute un peu de ci, un peu de ca, un coup de bec, un peu de moi-même, Le créer simple, le prendre, le secouer : qu’il soit exotique Je fus un temps ton orchidée, rare, je poussais dans des endroits Loin des curieux J’éclabousse et m’empresse, j’entaille et casse net Mon plat de mémoires, un morceau sur tes lèvres, Je vais faire cuire et mariner avec amour et affection Un plat venu de mes tripes, la saveur de mon cœur

So I am sorry if I do not give credit where credit is due. Mariaxx "Life without God is like an unsharpened pencil - it has no point."

I do not pretend to be a great cook, but my sons all love my cooking because I think I took the time when they were children to cook dishes, rather than serve up rubbish from cheap supermarkets Emma x
