Stew-born, this waft of culinary breeze. Permeating all that dare touch the spoon for a sip, a treasured slurp in hidden taste. Bubbling merrily as strips of brown beef hug the pale of potatoes and the bright of orange, the green of greenery and the red tomato’s ripened lustre. Stirred slowly into the blackened iron of simmer till.... A hurried bowl’s clink against the giant spoon of ladle, the crush of crackers in a tumultuous fall before the sprinkle of pepper’s black lace. Mulligan, the wee man....would be most proud to sneak the slurp before the deluge drowns the crumb...But, no....for this prize must be savored only after the simmer has become a textured treat tantalizing to most any tongue.....as the cool breeze of lips blow the heated spoon into the next slurp of secret savor.... Until....the bubbles are quashed by time’s cool, before the drool and moan of quivering lips in wait... of yet another secret slurp... |

Thanx Margherita, (passing the spoon)... don't let it burn your taste buds... Dixie, dear girl, I doubt seriously that you will get fat in this life time.... Nope, won't happen... Thanx |

Barry, I could almost taste that stew, and it looks just about like it's going to rain. I do have some biscuits cooked...can you and Sea pass me a bowl, please? I love stew on rainy days, too.  Hugs  Ethel |

I am dieting again...I think this one is calorie-free, carbohydrate-free, sugar-free, fat-free...but nonetheless very filling and delicious. Now what is for desert? I guess I will have take a gander at PIP's buffet table, huh? LOL Your images are spectacular, Barry. Patricia |

Barry, how timely! Yesterday I ate two huge bowls of savory stew--perhaps I should not eat anything today! Stew is one of my favorite dishes to prepare--and eat! Yum! Yum! In the tum-tum! Wonderful poem!!!   Linda |
