Waffles and Chocolate
a heaping teaspoon, give or take
thats how mama teaches us to bake
stir & scald, whip & whisk
to perfect this recipe takes a special gift
chocolate gravy, oh so sweet
everyone loves this family treat
poured over warm waffles
is how its done
served with sausage,
never just one.
a dallop of cool whip
up on top
eat it all gone
while it’s piping hot.
Is the recipe a secret? It looks so yummy- please share! The poem makes it all seem fun, from preparing to eating!
ReplyDeleteMy first inclination was to write about the tradition and the recipe but some how it became a poem. I think Waffles and Chocolate part 2 will be my post tomorrow....promise to include the recipe too! :)
DeleteI agree! That looks scrumptious! What a treat! And so was the poem! You did a great job playing with words. That's the beauty with poetry -- there are no rules!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I'm glad there are no rules...then I am free to be me and do as I please!
DeleteYummy! Chocolate on waffles, what a great idea. The poem made me happy, its got a little bouncy rhythm to it.
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious. I remember my grandmother's recipes. Lots was to taste or a pinch of this and that. Never figured out how much a pinch is.
ReplyDeleteIt is yummy! Every time I watch my mamma make it, She never measures ...and just says, enough to taste, or the right consistency....So it truly is like an experiment (re: your clever post)
Delete"chocolate gravy" -- what a great phrase. I've never heard it, and it makes chocolate sauce sound fresh and new. I look forward to the recipe. Arjeha, I found a set of little spoons at a Bed, Bath & Beyond that claims to measure a "dash," a "pinch," and a "smidgen."
ReplyDeleteMaybe those measuring devices is exactly what I need to perfect this recipe. As I was writing, I considered playing with those terms dallop and dash, sidgen and pinch but only a few made it in. Maybe another slice!
DeleteLove the poem!
