It begins with the proper heat of summer
Simmered slow with the joy of expectation
Perhaps a dash of color to keep it real
Then we turn the heat off and let it set up
Add a splash of wine or two from the cupboard
A dash of pumpkin spice just to feel crazy
Save this big batch of winter stew in the fridge
Because, like life,
. . .it’s always better next day
Congratulations.
You’re now prepared for winter.
Eat, Drink, Love Yourself,
Love Others, Love Life, Live,
And may you always be merry.
