In the realm
of the oven,
preheated, waiting
standing by.
A large cauliflower
is prepared
under the
watchful eye.
Cut to florets,
blanched in
boiling water’s
warm embrace.
Drained and placed
in a
baking dish,
awaiting mornay’s
grace.
Butter melts softly;
flour joins in—
a gentle
roux begins.
Milk is added,
stirring smooth,
a creamy
brew begins.
Cheese is grated;
half is melted;
seasoning joins
the fray.
Over cauliflower,
the mornay
pours warmly—
ready for
the oven’s play.
Golden and bubbling
after minutes
twenty five,
she emerges—
joy alive.
All dressed, golden,
ready for
the ball;
a dance
with Chicken
and Château—
that’s her
call.
