uramaki stuffed with avocado
barbecued salmon and tempura yam
vanilla ice cream with fudge sauce
mom’s strawberry jam
hot black tea in the morning
with a plateful of fried potatoes
sweet tea iced to perfection at noon
french bread with melted cheddar and tomatoes
banana waffles drizzled with syrup
spaghetti thick with veggies and wine
french fries buried in chili and cheese
pickles in a sour-sweet brine
cherry pie hot from the oven
porridge with brown sugar and milk
purple plums plucked straight from the tree
chocolate pudding smoother than silk
whole wheat toast with cinnamon and butter
onion rings caked with panko crumbs
chocolate-covered australian ginger
sweet crumble with apples, pears, and plums
baked or fried or fricaseed
warmed or burnt or chilled
just like an open mind is never empty
an adventurous stomach is never filled
