Lightly Flavoured Memories

 


What was it 

again my mind strays

Trying to figure

that mysterous ingredient 

with which she cooked 

That which touched my palate

and made the memory 

a long yearning 

To make it again

I still try to figure 

whilst making the same recipe 

a dream to make it right 

What was it .......

there my mind goes astray again

  1. Memories of childhood food always seem to taste better than our attempts at recreating it! LOL, at least to start. I think of the memories I made with my kids and how my humble efforts might play a role in their memories.

  2. I have tried to recreate some of Mom's recipes, but they never quite taste the same.
