nice! i loved ‘nature’s recipe’!
Thanks, Greggo. I thought someone might.
Gotta love bestest snack. Just shared one of those delightful treats with the four-year-old. Glad we were outdoors! Nice Haiku! And hungry making, too!
All are great…….the first sublime!
Mouthwatering haiku!
These are just great. The oatmeal recipe made me stop and think. But I like sweet & salty together too… that one is my favorite because of the last line!
Ah, a recipe I can feel “safe” reading, that first one. As I keep saying in my comments to these prompt responses, I’m too food-challenged.
The first also recalls a boy I raised from an infant and the first orange he ever cut for himself. (That was another kind of challenge for me, to let him do it. I knew he was old enough, but it was still scary.)
All three were wonderful, but I really like the third one - oatmeal with bacon eaten in cold mountain air. Wonderful!
seems as tho you and i are hungry for breakfast!!!!!
I like them all, so I won’t choose. I like the titles of the first and third, too. In the third, with a crispness in the air in these here parts of Northern California, I can see it all.
