Cook by the book

a silly fun write :)

Today, I'm going to cook,
bought myself a recipe book.
there's a pan, a jug of water,
these little things matter.
add some sugar, some salt,
and empty a bag full of malt.
Now, stir it hard without a halt,
wait for the aromas to exalt.
you might wonder what I'm making?
it's all hard work and painstaking.
I'm preparing a secret soup,
don't try to snoop.
It has a love-laughter paste,
you would know after you taste.

I remember
my grandfather
cook jowar paste
not to taste
but to stick
the cover to stuck
for longer..😅
We use jowar paste instead of fevicol those days for notebook and book covers. 😀
Hope you still scoop,
the soup
to fill the hunger troop.
Great write, I just enjoyed 😀🙏

I hope your secret soup had a flavor of happy, seasoned with love and passion. A fun write. I love making soup. Carrot and coriander and broccoli and stilton are my two specials. My family enthuse over my soups. Enjoyed your words.
