Feast Your Eyes on Our Feast

We show up to our friends house to feast.


We know we are in for a blazing treat.


We spy our chef commanding the kitchen stage by stomping his feet.


We run to the table and scramble to our seats.


We sing "Grace"! in unison to give thanks for this amazing retreat.


We are delighted by the simplest dishes, our taste buds accede.


We devour everything, pouring and splashing, leaving nothing neat.


We stay amused by the company we keep.


We talk of fun times and try to recall screaming, "how did we meet"?


We scavenge and scoop and dip and dig as our spoons meet.


We cheer and clank and chatter on about what is still to achieve.


We cherish the sounds that abound as roosters and mules greet.


We never resolve to stay polite, and instead find each our own soap box speech.


We wander away upstairs in search of some quiet relief.


We spy the powder room mirror to see what might remain in our teeth.


We realize the bed is calling us over to carry us to sleep.


We cheek kiss and bear hug, and grab our keys.


We head out the gate, so thankful we found all that we came to seek.

So, Save Your Self and Keep it Simple, Silly

Sometimes, well...most the time, the simplest scenario is so superior to any other supposed option, it seems silly not to take the easy way out.

If that is the best way, then why not?
Are we stubborn just to spite our Self?
Do we doubt the element of surprise?
Do we stand in our own way of simple play, and instead over-act?
Do we sabotage even the simplest tasks?

This is a simple stage, a simple act, a simple task:

1)Take your tomatoes and slice if you like
2)Sprinkle with sea salt and stir in the fold.
3)No lettuce to be found, grab some fresh herbs, as much as you can hold.
4)Drizzle a spoonful of olive oil, to settle it smooth.

See...we're done!
And we had so much fun.

No sabotage to undo.
No pity. No pressure.
No standing around in a stew.
Just some play, and a taste bud surprise; no doubt.

Request a bit more party posed onto your plate?
Confetti some seeds, any you choose, any you like.



This was the loot:
> Roma/cherry tomatoes...any you have will do but, never chill..they're a summer fruit!
> Italian parsley...any basil, cilantro, parsley version can play.
> "Real" sea salt...only the best from Utah, I choose.
> Extra virgin olive oil...you know this drill.
> Raw sesame seeds, just for contrast, or color, or fun..or none.

I ate mine as same as shown, so simple,
... and chased it with a handful or two of salty Fiesta tortilla chips; so good.
Later, I served it up as a taco topping with raves of.."is there any more"?...
You can have yours with grilled bread and maybe some feta cheese, if you please.

So, save your Self from kitchen distress and just keep it simple...Silly! ;P
