[Before dinner, July 2010.]

This is Just to Say

I have eaten
the plums
that were in

Forgive me

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!

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.

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.)
