sweet beans

Brown that ground meat well

Gather legumes of all kinds

Spiced tomato sauce

Let simmer all day to blend

Hot chili for chilly days

If you’ve never eaten a molten lava cake, I suggest you give it a try! That is right where my mind went when I saw the flash fiction prompt this week from the Carrot Ranch

“Nana, pulllleeze.”

Tension filled the air, thicker than the fragrant deliciousness wafting around the room. Naturally, the young ones were more than anxious as they planted themselves on the floor smack dab in front of the oven door.

One would think they had never been fed. One would think they had nothing else better to do. One would think they had no patience.

You could barely hear the timer bell for the chorus of cheers as Nana grabbed the oven mitts and pulled out the baking dishes. It was her joy to bake molten lava cakes for the grandchildren.

Well

I tried

And fell short

To make dinner

Come out really good

Oh, there’s lots of flavor

Somewhat, a bit of texture

But I would not serve this to you

I will eat the seven pints myself

And try a different method next time ‘round

Well, who burnt the fish

Filling the kitchen with smoke

Uh, that would be me

Tried to figure out

If we could salvage our meal

Once the smoke had cleared

Not gonna happen

It’s cereal for supper

Seriously, really girl

Don’t burn the oatmeal
