It All Boils Down

Introducing Kelly King! I asked my friend if I could post this, and thankfully she said yes.


THE REST OF IT GOES HERE

It all boils down, once properly heated

The coming to a boil is the exciting part
Hot licks on lips, flush on the face
Steaming sentiments spoken.

It all boils down, roux to rue
Rich gelatinous stock or
Pithy watery remains

Love Consomme` is strained for clarity
Seasoned with differences
Both past and possibilities cling
To the discerning palate

It all boils down once properly heated
Passionate bubbles breaking the surface
Covered and simmered gently

Cream of Desire base exceeds
Dreary starched milk mixture
Time, Thyme and attention
Turns it into the main course

It all boils down, once properly heated
The fire, the water
The fire, the water
From the Earth into the air

What is "a touch of love" in the kitchen?

"Time, Thyme and attention"

This made me salivate. I resolved to change my shitty diet and eat better. Heated and perspiring I stood in my kitchen looking for someone to comingle with, but alas, I was alone with 3 beers in the fridge and not even half a sandwich to snack on.
