Paperbagged perhaps it is just because I am hungry for something but a recall came on my drive to work of a state, long ago a town, the commute having only earlier-hour’s coffee sloshing inside arriving at the bank, heels clicking in 1982 time and that smell reaching across the tiles of toasted bread in a bank! my hunger pangs pinging my stomach’s walls and I went to look, as coffee grounds brewed and associated with the toasty smell, yes, it was a cool summer morn, just like today is that what beckoned the recall? but….here she was, a veritable ancient of wrinkle and wiry hands, a multi caverned toaster at her side, slabs and slabs of wonderful yellow cheese waiting for the warm toast, buttered within both sides with a broom of a brush then enveloping the cheddar so warmly the thin hands would quickly wrap the warm in opaque paper then stuff into a brown paper sack to remain warm, which slowly caused the cheese to open its senses, in preparation of the descent between lips and teeth…waiting to release buttery flavors and cheesy gold so it became my treat to get there a little earlier then, in the mornings for the hottest of brews and the best toasted cheese tidbits still tasting, these many years gone, the gold of butter enveloping my tongue and the tang of cheddar between my teeth it’s a good thing memories are fat-free…. Don't discuss yourself, you are bound to lose; if you belittle yourself, you are believed; if you praise yourself, you are disbelieved. Michel de Mont |

One for the library to save for when I am not so full. Never knew lunch could be so poetic. "Build a man a fire, he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life". Terry Pratchett |

You know it's a good write when you can actually smell the fragrance, and the belly begins rumbling. Look and see the effect you caused...Hunger for us all and a job well done! Let my words fall first upon deaf ears before a closed mind... |
