The word of inspiration this week on inspiremethursday.com is “spice”.
Pierre St. Pierre de la Coriander Voss
In a remote little spot
Of downtown Paree
Sits a tiny quaint bistro
Know as O Cest la Vie
The chef at this place
Is renowned for his sauce
An ambrosial concoction
From Pierre St. Pierre de la Coriander Voss
In a big copper pot
Pierre mixes away
A secretive blend
Of thyme caraway
And dill weed and dill seed
And fennel and salt
And six cryptic spices
He keeps locked in a vault
He added some marjoram
Summer savory and myrrh
Spoonfuls of meadowsweet
And gave it a stir
From a few fat tomatoes
And zucchini cut cross
With lemongrass sprinkles
Pierre created the sauce
He pinched, shook and drizzled
Poured, spooned and doled
Handfuls of Roquefort cheese
Minus the mold
Endless simmering later
In the big copper pan
Pierre chucked the whole mess
And opened a can.
This is great. Love the drawing and the poem. Wish I could be as prolific as Josh Pincus!
Great illustration…guess this chef does not have a Rat under his toque!! Are you still scared????
Amazing work!!
