  2. first snowflakes
    the smell of hot chips
    with a splat of sauce

    *
    winter storm
    cocktail sausages
    boiling in the pot

    *
    almond croissants
    dusted with icing sugar
    late moon frost

  3. opening the door —
    the ghost of last night’s dinner
    greets me at the step

    a wonderful meal —
    how can I resist the urge
    to photograph it?

    my cupboard is bare —
    no idea what to make
    so I watch food porn

  4. yams in hot coals
    link to ancients

    empty jars
    relish
    bottling day

    forest green
    gourmet feast
    knowing where to look

  8. bonfire warmth
    cooking with added flavors
    gossips among women

    fruit seller
    Slowly peeling off layers of
    his hardcore life

    cookery show
    adding a special ingredient of
    my mother’s kitchen
