The recipe for romance begins in the kitchen, it’s true. Wink while pouring a hot cup of coffee, stir in a little sugar ‘n cream. Share secret stash of smooth dark chocolate and a lingering kiss. Place in love’s grasp a wildflower bouquet, picked fresh in anticipation. Cook breakfast omelet (for supper) together; nibble an earlobe while bacon sizzles. Slip arm around waist as artisan bread toasts to crusty perfection. Turn lights low, sit side by side, hold hands to pray a blessing. Pass the seasonings and sprinkle meal lightly with laughter.

My favorite recipe reads… a pinch of this, a dash of that… unmeasured and spontaneous the way live is! Good one, Lynn.

Yes…thank you!

Just wonderful! As an old retired chef, I can sooo relate to this. Love in the kitchen, perfect haiku.

Glad the chef approved…of haiku too! 😃

Yummy romance. My husband is a gourmet chef–I know of what you speak.

Confession: just slipped into the kitchen and got a piece of Trader Joe’s “Dark Chocolate Lovers”–your fault, though I do need to gain weight.
Aug 09, 2016 @ 15:21:14
Awesome…hope you’re gaining 😉

A little. So ironic. I battled my weight most of my life but transplant meds do weird things to one.

Absolutely delicious.

The recipe for romance
begins in the kitchen
How very innovative, lynn! One can make it all enjoyable and lasting without trappings of elegant dressing or classy and expensive locations.
