Irregular Ode to Arthritic Confectioners

🥧🍵🍛🍲🍰🥙🥗🧁

you already know of my cooking woes

tried no bake cheesecake next

had ingredients, lemons, garden hose

a grater, with a sharp knife, I’m vexed

can of sweetened condensed milk

everything combined should look like silk

–

trouble started when I squeezed the juice

added lots of zest no flavor to lose

the bowl of these hard wrought two

flew off the counter, I’m not amused

ever tried to pick up lemon zest from the floor?

it took a while, had to replace it with more

–

so again with the grater and hard to get juice

lucky I had more lemons to use

thank heavens I had a crumby crust

not sure I have crumbing actions I trust

remembered to cover the bowl

while whipping the mixture, making it whole

–

delighted the finished pie looked normal and fine

it’s the cleaning of all the messes that is the crime.

  3. As a sometime professional cook, cleaning just becomes part of the process and you stop thinking about it – after all, Cheryl, the pie’s the thing…

  6. Ohh yes. That’s true of almost all dishes that take time to prepare. So many hours of effort and it’ll all over in minutes.
    I’m glad that the pie turned out to be delightful. The clean-up process can be quite a crime indeed
