Don't you think I know you like a little librarian-ish reprimanding? It's too bad I don't have the necessary props.

Now I want to go watch Chocolat again or read Like Water for Chocolate.

Did you ever rent Babette's Feast?

[thesummerqueen]

No sir. As a pirate wench, you can imagine how I would obtain it. I have not forgot, you see.

I get a lot of great recipes from here:

Also, I have never tasted a pecan pie to rival the ones my mother used to make.

Alton Brown is my god. I love that man. Science and food! And he's funny, which always greases the wheel.

"Food, and Intimacy"

Decade
When you came, you were like red wine and honey,
And the taste of you burnt my mouth with its sweetness.
Now you are like morning bread,
Smooth and pleasant.
I hardly taste you at all for I know your savour,
But I am completely nourished.
~ Amy Lowell

Her breath is like honey spice with cloves,
Her mouth delicious as a ripened mango.
To press kisses on her skin is to taste the lotus,
The deep cave of her navel hides a store of spices
What pleasure lies beyond, the tongue knows,
But cannot speak of it.

Srngarakarika, Kumaradadatta, 12th century

Eating the World

...I want to feed you the flowers of ice
on this winter window,
the aroma of many soups,
the scent of sacred candles
that follows me around this cedar house,
I want to feed you the lavender
that lifts up out of certain poems,
and the cinnamon of apples baking,
and the simple joy we see
in the sky when we fall in love.

James Tipton

The Song of Songs
Give me all the kisses of your mouth.
Your love is better than wine.

Your body oils are fragrant,
your name pours from my tongue.
That is why I adore you.

[Epimethean]

Cream tangerine and montelimar,
A ginger sling with a pineapple heart,
A coffee dessert, yes you know it's good news,
But you'll have to have them all pulled out after the savoy truffle.
Cool cherry cream and nice apple tart,
I feel your taste all the time we're apart,
Coconut fudge really blows down those blues,
But you'll have to have them all pulled out after the savoy truffle.

Those Four Guys

[thesummerqueen]

O kiss
of the lips
on the fruit,
teeth
and lips
dripping
a fragrant amber,
the liquid
light of the plum!
