moonqueen Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 (edited) I Cooked My Ass Off Julia Childs had nothing on me, I have won the Golden Fork, a cooking contest I once entered my dish was "Dressed Up Pork". The thing on which I did not count was a rule I must have missed we had to butcher our own meat; just ask if I was pissed! I will not say how it came to be, but in my pan a pork roast laid. I gathered all my spices and herbs, tomato paste and marmalade. I cut little slits, into which I tucked hand picked basil and garlic clove, whisked up the sauce, took a taste then simmered it on the stove. I made a dressing of oil and bleu and tossed it with Drunken Tomatoes. I arranged my food on the china plate to show off my Parsley Potatoes. Cheese, Olive and Pepper Bread, two warm and crusty loaves, a crock I baked of Whiskey Beans, fresh peaches, from local groves browned in spiced and buttery syrup, spooned over Rice Pudding, warm. Judges kept staring and sniffing the air, my table they waited to swarm. Pork that melted right in their mouths with a glaze that took them to heaven. Imagine my shock when I was announced the winner of a buck, ninety-seven. 02-26-11 ©tlp 2011 I have also posted this in a 'reply' to Tink in Poetry Playground, I hope this doesn't violate the rules.

tonyv Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I'm sure the meal was great, along with the small consolation prize. :) Next time, you'll just have to follow the rules!

Tinker Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Hi Tammy, This is great! It is such fun to read and mouthwatering to boot. You really tempt the tastebuds in this piece. WOW! This has a great rhythm, fun rhyme and a wonderful sense of humor. And I love the title. I will have to go see what was at the Playground that prompted this...I am afraid the Playground is pretty abandonned. I wish more would come out to play. ~~Tink Quote ~~ © ~~ Poems by Judi Van Gorder ~~ For permission to use this work you can write to Tinker1111@icloud.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read the Rules and thought I understood it, but am always worried I may miss something. Tammi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonqueen Posted March 2, 2011 Author Share Posted March 2, 2011 Tink, thanks for reading and for your comments. I had a good time writing it. Funny, everyone seems to think it was real. Never entered a cooking contest in my life and have never had Drunken Tomatoes, though I have a couple recipes that sound great! Victor, if there were such a meal, I would send you an engraved invitation, sir. Thanks for your time. mq Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldenlangur Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Hello moonqueen, Nice to meet you. :D Some wonderful descriptions in your mouth-watering poem. I particularly love the playfulness of these: I made a dressing of oil and bleu and tossed it with 'drunken' tomatoes. I arranged my food on the china plate to show off my Parsley Potatoes. 'drunken' tomatoes is quite unforgettable! Thank you. Quote goldenlangur Even a single enemy is too many and a thousand friends too few - Bhutanese saying.
