i will never grow tired of taking out a pan-
\nchopping up an onion, some celery and butter
\nwith a firm green pepper-
\nthat is always the beginning of something good;
\nthe smell from that alone
\nwaffles through the house like a
\n“mommy’s-in-the-kitchen alarm.
\nadd in some ground beef or turkey, almost any meat will do-
\nthen boil some potatoes until the fork pierces easily through.
\nSteam up some broccoli or carrots and peas-
\nit really doesn’t matter at all.<\/p>\n
I will never grow tired of setting the tables with plates,
\nfolding the napkins and placing the glasses just so-
\nthen yelling out “it’s dinnertime”
\nso everyone will know.
\nThen to watch them scurry round, take some kisses on the cheek-
\nthen sit around the table, knowing they will enjoy whatever they eat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
