The Friday Fling Gets Down To Basics With Winter Comfort Food!
Friday Fling #215 for January 18th 2013
Let’s face it. It’s the dead of winter and many of us have cold weather and snow and ice and slush and it can get you down a little after awhile. So what do you do? More specifically, what do you like to EAT?
Comfort food can take different forms depending on tastes and opportunities. Tell us about what you consider midwinter comfort food, and how you get it or make it and enjoy it!
As to format, we’re going to get back to some basics this week. Try writing your comfort food poem in four line stanzas in ABAB rhyme, and in even syllable counts per line. That is, where the cadence is the same, anywhere between 4 and 12 syllables per line. No minimum or maximum on the number of stanzas, but two to six would be ideal for our blog purposes.
This week the Friday Fling touts favorite midwinter comfort foods in a basic comfortable poetic form!
Be sure to save time to read and comment comfortably on your fellow Pals’ food faves!
Then maybe go find some of your favorite comfort food to enjoy this weekend!
Fickle Finger of Fate Award for January 11th
Congratulations Barbara!
Welcome everyone to the Friday Fling Food Fest! Pull up an ABAB stanza in even cadence and tell us about what you like to eat to lighten up the winter doldrums!
COLD COMFORT FOOD
When it’s cold outside
and snow’s on the ground
my stomach will guide
to comfort profound.
Cocoa in a mug
with crackers and cheese,
warms me like a hug
so my toes won’t freeze.
Hot turkey dinner
down at local pub,
always a winner;
good comfort food grub.
A pint of dark beer
sure hits Ithe right spot
feels like I’m warmer
though beer is not hot.
Risk of expanding
waistline is worth it.
My nature’s demanding
good tastes in surfeit.

~
Fried chicken grave wit biscuit
Corn and cream potatoes lots of butter
Greens like mister green
Cant beat that wit a stick

BABY’S BEST
Hello there, can you guess
what my comfort food is?
If I do not confess,
I would bet you will miss.
I will give you a hint.
It goes down very smooth.
It’s the color of mint.
Good for those short in tooth.
Naw you would never guess.
But I’m not gonna tell.
Though when I fill my pants,
you might tell by the smell.

Homemade Vegetable Soup
~~
Some homemade vegetable soup
Warms me up on a winter day
And enough to feed a large group
If someone would visit today
~~
So comforting and delicious
With carrots,corn, green beans and peas
That makes this mixture nutritious
And goes great with a toasted cheese
~~
This poem gave me an idea
I think I will make some tonight
and invite my friend Sophia
For some comfort food of delight
~~
