This is Just to Say

I have eaten
the plums
that were in

Forgive me

so sweet
and so cold

  1. Nicole:
    One of my favorite poems! This could have almost fit in one of your Wordless Wednesdays posts because with a great poem, you forget the words and just see, feel, and in this case, taste. (The poem and your pictures do just that.)

  2. also, the e-mail you sent with this list sans pictures even made me drool. why do i not live next door to you, again?

  3. This was a mouthwatering meal……soooo good!Chez Nicolina came through yet again! Zuni chicken….as good as they say it is when prepared by Nicole. Unbelievable….except not really because Nicole is magical in the kitchen.

  4. I want to eat all of those things… especially the mushroom phyllo cups and the plum torte with homemade mint ice cream! And, btw, can’t believe you made chicken! Well done my dear!
