Yeah ... this popped into my head the other day. Please review, good/bad ...

Just to say a massive thanks to all my reviewers :)

Ode to Shire Food

Pumpkins, deliciously orange placed upon the work surface

The sunlight glinting off its waxy skin

Spices, festooning the platter

Ginger being scraped into the mix

Pastry, rolled out like skin with the rolling pin

Beefy, sweaty arms hard at work

Grunts and sounds of ardour, filling up the kitchen

Cinnamon, hot, accidentally gets up nose

Atishoo!

Bogeys, dripping into the dough

Moans of frustration to scrape it out

Pasty hands pat the dough ball

Pie is ready

Placed in oven for thirty minutes

Impatience overtakes and the lure of a hearty apple tempts

Big fat pastry turns crispy golden in the oven

Pie taken out

Ready to be served by eager Hobbit children.

Scrum - didli - umptious
