Cook by the book

Cook by the book

A Poem by A.H.
"

a silly fun write :)

"
Today, I'm going to cook,
bought myself a recipe book.
there's a pan, a jug of water,
these little things matter.
add some sugar, some salt,
and empty a bag full of malt.
Now, stir it hard without a halt,
wait for the aromas to exalt.
you might wonder what I'm making?
it's all hard work and painstaking.
I'm preparing a secret soup,
don't try to snoop.
It has a love-laughter paste,
you would know after you taste.

I remember
my grandfather
cook jowar paste
not to taste
but to stick
the cover to stuck
for longer..😅
We use jowar paste instead of fevicol those days for notebook and book covers. 😀
Hope you still scoop,
the soup
to fill the hunger troop.
Great write, I just enjoyed 😀🙏

I don't know if you're old enough to remember "hobo soup".
People that were so poor, they only had bare essentials to put into a pot of water.
But somehow, it always ended up tasting great!
I don't think I've ever heard of love-laughter paste.
But I'm game to try anything!
Wonderful memory inspiring poetry! Thanks!

Just ran out of topics to write and cooking sounded fun :) Thank you.
Hey, I love this. I enjoy cooking, used to collect cook books. There’s poetry in cooking well, and you have put cooking nicely into your poetry. I think I will print this out and tape it up in my kitchen to see everyday.
Fun yes, but not silly!

Welcome always, Abhi...
I hope your secret soup had a flavor of happy, seasoned with love and passion. A fun write. I love making soup. Carrot and coriander and broccoli and stilton are my two specials. My family enthuse over my soups. Enjoyed your words.
