What would I do for a kitchen?
For a home-made dinner?
For left-overs?
For even a steak!?
I would embrace Costco's hoards,
its frustrating check-out lines,
the miserable loading and un-loading process,
the long dinner parties,
the last-minute trips for ingredients,
just to make curry from scratch!
Oh, how I miss saucepans,
stove tops and ovens!
Man, how I ache for a spatula
or a standard size fridge!
Would some lemon zest be asking too much?
oh, right, I have no grater!
My teeth are useless,
I've tried.
plus, my dentist already hates me.
I'm drowning in oatmeal, yogurt,
nuts and dried fruit,
hard-boiled eggs and salad.
The pita and hummus splurge,
for those whimsical moments!
A glob of crunchy Peanut butter
keeps my taste buds alive,
til Afghan or Indian chefs serve me
with the closest to home-made meals I can get!
