Comfort Food<\/h1>\n

by Jean Varda<\/p>\n

think of warm baked bread
\nmelting butter with crunchy crust
\nthink of casseroles one after the other
\ncoming out of the oven
\ndeserts baking steamy with
\nberries peaches custard whipped cream
\nthink of ice cream summer
\nhow it cools down your mouth
\ncoffee flavored chocolate chips
\nthink of salad
\nchopping radishes cucumber carrots
\ncrunch of romaine lettuce
\nadding chunks of cheese
\nsmell of vinegar and oil
\nthink of breakfast
\nscrambled eggs toast
\nhot tea jam home fries
\nmorning sun warming the table cloth
\nbreakfast served in cafes
\nthink of romantic evenings
\npasta and crunchy garlic bread
\nwine Parmesan cheese<\/p>\n
