One of a Kind : for Mis Q

One of a Kind

Oh, my - the best recipe I ever made

will most likely lay in wait for a repeat

as I, not a baker who must follow amounts

religiously to attain angelic perfection...

I just putter in the kitchen

The summer veggies from the co-op,

what ever was uprooted, all take a dive

after being unceremoniously peeled and

chopped; potatoes, carrots, leeks, onion,

peppers of all hues

I sometimes use just water boiled or

boxed stock or my homemade brew

to add some hearty flavor - some garlic

or red pepper flakes or if a sauce I’ll

add some nutmeg

There is one dessert though that I

do make just for traditions sake -

and though I’ve read it can be baked,

I still (the only thing I) fry are the shells

for Cannoli

As it is a time consuming endeavor

I tend to only make it every other year -

the last time I made them I even dipped

the shells in melted chocolate - and

added pistachio nuts

While the kitchen is not my favorite room

I do manage to get by - and often I will hear

from my family a wistful sigh because they

know that if they’ve eaten something good

it was most likely one of a kind
