  • Better Than Chocolate

    The kitchen is such a mess when you’re done

    Flour dust covering every surface

    One bowl for fruit and one for dough

    Wooden spoon, spices and cups

    Worth the time and trouble

    Better than chocolate

    Round, delicious

    Sweet and hot

    Yummy

    Pie

    Yummy

    Sweet and hot

    Round, delicious

    Better than chocolate

    Worth the time and trouble

    Wooden spoon, spices and cups

    One bowl for fruit and one for dough

    Flour dust covering every surface

    The kitchen is such a mess when you’re done

     

    I wrote this as a reverse etheree, but I realized that with just a couple of simple word changes, it also worked as an etheree. So, I wrote it both ways just for fun. This is for the NPM Scavenger Hunt Prompt#13: Your favorite dessert. I love almost every kind of pie; it's the only thing that beats chocolate. It's a good thing pies are so time consuming and messy to make... that means I don't do it very often, for which the bathroom scale thanks me. What is your favorite dessert?

  • Love your poem! When I was newly married, age 19-20, I had time on my hands, and used it to bake for my husband -- pies and cakes. I now eat neither, but it was fun while it lasted!

  • I love every kind of dessert.

  • Nice one! I haven't made cook pudding in forever (my favorite dessert not counting your pear pie). We were just talking about chocolate pudding over dinner with Charley and Julie. Come to find out Charley doesn't like the "skin" that forms on the top of cooked pudding. Julie and I think that part is the best!

  • I cook so little and bake even less any more ~ almost forget what a floury kitchen looks like!
