Much interest in lunch!
Wow! Lot's of great lunch-themed haikus last week.
First we had this from the Spanish Medievalist:
Menu del día
Gazpacho, filete, y
Arroz con leche.
[Translation:
Today's menu
Gazpacho filleted with
Real Human milk]
Tim brought the Michigan angle:
Oh, Buddys pizza
You have moved to Grand Rapids
What took you so long?
And Susan Stabile offered something close to my own heart:
On white bread (of course)
peanut butter and jelly
each day in grade school.
Christine offered up a common conundrum:peanut butter and jelly
each day in grade school.
Chicken salad, chips...
An unremarkable meal
Need inspiration.
Amy gave us a great picture:
Italian Alps, home
of distant family, June:
Long tables loaded,
wild boar stew, fresh -- Love --
polenta gorgonzola --
Surprise -- tomatoes,
greens -- Warmth -- pasta, new
peas, new family, fizzy
water, wine and wine --
Flowers -- Laughter --
chocolate, pears, parmesan.
Cannot recreate . . .
And Gavin, as always, gave us something worthy of thought:
I eat at my desk
Bland food from a cardboard box
Blank stare, my mind drifts
To another lunch
Meat, cheese, bread, wine, and my love
In the Tuscan sun.
We laughed and dined there
Time was no concern of ours
Just in the moment
