Yes, I love the guy. He’s formerly from Queer Eye, is a cook, and writes haiku. And he hosts Chopped!, not my favorite cooking show because of the baskets so I quickly (as hubby is about to pick me up for dinner) I wrote this about their ingredient baskets.

Parmesan and eel
Baccala, fig jam and eggs
I’m already Chopped

But I’m ready to slather it with mustard and place it on date-nut bread with some sliced pineapple and liverwurst. Don’t cook this! Dee

Sandhill Cranes

Sandhill cranes, iron-rich
Feathers glinting in the sun
Nesting time again

Such comfort I do find
A cardigan of Arran
Wool Mom would have used

Sandhill cranes, they are
Jim called them Godzilla Birds
Fascinating Spring

The Mountains

Wildfowl heaven is
here in Utah mountains, the
ducks and geese love it

Mountains’ Majesty

Mountains’ majesty,
We know the song, the spirit
Just gazing at them.

Ted May Be Back

Ted Allen is a haiku guy. He’s on multiple shows on TV but I first saw him as the cooking guy on Queer Eye. Early in this blog we had a haiku competition and challenged Ted to judge it. Of course he was too busy but before he was The Man, he had time to converse with me via email.

I’m smart enough not to do another blog contest even though Michelle loved her trip to Hawaii and Pam her family rafting trip down the Colorado with their winnings. Oh when I lie I do it well.

They did receive kudos and check out the Haiku section of the blog and write one. Five syllables, seven, then five. Concise. We’ll amass them and send them to Ted.

Ted, stop being The Man for a moment and remember regular folks like one who has a boutique cooking blog with over 14,000 hits. Talk to Carson, it’s quality you want, not quantity.

Cheers, Dee

My Love

I married, another one
