The Hidden me

My thoughts whisking

some ingredients churning

baking and frying

a new side dish of mine just evolving

Some sliced, some diced

some super foods minced

some sautéed, some stir fried

some grilled and some roasted

Few veggies for barbeque chopped

while few just steamed

Few boiled, few blanched

a casserole one tasty treat - achieved

Many peeled and many crushed

a juicy crunchy salad tossed

added to it many julienne cut

to go along with cocktails and nuts

Each time I honed my skills some more

 I discovered a hidden me some more

With each new recipe I give a try

I unearth new skills on which I rely

The joy of contentment on their faces

when they devour every bit of the feast

Is the reason I feel bellyful

even before I take my mouth full.
