The little laughing olive tree
came to Crete and cooked for me.
While I went about my weekend chores,
she rampaged on my kitchen floors.

While I went about my weekend chores,
she rampaged on my kitchen floors.
When I asked her 'Whatcha cookin?'
She exclaimed: 'It's what you're lookin'.
"I just wondered if you please,
will my husband eat any of these?"
Come dinner time the kitchen smelt
as if a fire had been put out,
with mustard and some Worcestershire sauce,
a bit of onion chopped up coarse.
"What's for salad?' she insisted.
"I't's cooking now," I promptly answered.
She doesn't know my eggplant pizza,
but now she's here, I'm gonna teach 'er.
I picked the last tomatoes growing
and some peppers green as string beans,
and with the omelette that was leftover,
that made our lunch one of the best ever.

I always get a kick out your table shots, showcasing the feast of the day...the chops look great and Worcestershire is a favourite condiment...and mustard!
ReplyDeleteThe chops sound wonderful and as long as the new food triers loved it all its all good:D
ReplyDeleteOf all the things on that table, I lust after the bread the most. I wish we got nice Horiatiki bread like that here. Even stuff I make myself doesn't come close.
ReplyDeleteif you're making your own bread, you're doing better than me...
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious! We were almost going to dine al fresco yesterday and then a cold wind whipped up!
ReplyDeleteWait, you're not outside are you? I noticed the remote on the table...
ReplyDeleteyou're kitchen is nice and bright!
Looks like a delicious family meal! Yum! Lovely verses! Wish I could write like that :)
ReplyDeleteHeh - I don't make my daily bread - but for a special occasion, a home made loaf is a nice treat. I highly recommend this method:

Read more about the method here and be sure to check out the video. The bread is fantastic - but very different to Greek bread.
Here is a picture of one I made:
