                           Friday Night

She said, " I made dinner for two but you aren't here,
A spicy moroccan chicken. I invited Mahalia Jackson, Simon Simon,
Miles is here too, but not you,
so I invited someone else I knew."

She watched as He sat down to eat
He savored with his eyes the plate before him
Tasting, inhaling the exotic fragrance of middle east spices,
Ras El Hanout, turmeric, saffron, garlic, cayenne pepper.

Mmmm, he unknowingly hummed quietly to himself,
faintly overheard, it aroused her pleasure
"May I pour you some wine? I'll take some Jack instead."
Never lifting his eyes from hers and morocco.

If he has trouble making the next cook-in, I'm available. I drink cheap California burgundy. Just so you know

This is delightful, dear Ebonygirl. And such fantastic guests! (Mahalia Jackson is the all time number one for me, her voice is divine!)

Loved the atmosphere you created with this spicy dish and the guest who wasn't there, but was.

Love,
Margherita
