forgotten curry settling in the back of the cupboard slips its way into my line of sight and I prepare my chicken with it.
Some mixed peppercorn, a bit of garlic powder, a dash of salt, and seasoned flour. a meal fit for a queen and her party of fools dances on my sensitive tongue.
diced potatoes, steamed broccoli, and filtered water to wet my whistling lips. I fall into the beauty that is meal prep and the dog stands guard at the kitchen door, waiting for dropped morsels.
Jernee: staring intently at me while my mom prepares a lunch she cannot have–sloppy joes. Video created by Tremaine L. Loadholt
I have my mom over for the weekend, and this is just a short clip from yesterday, of Jernee intently staring directly at me because she wanted some of what my mom was preparing to eat, which she could NOT have–sloppy joes!
When these two get together, a barrel of laughs is had. Lol. You can hear my mom talking in the background stating something along the lines of, “You keep saying she can’t hear and can’t see” and also, “She wasn’t paying me any kind of attention.”
My mom is a loud talker. Everything she says is at a volume I’d consider NOT being an “inside voice.” I’m certain that’s the blend of the Bronx, New York and West Savannah, Georgia deeply embedded in her upbringing. Lol!
I’m forever “Shushing” her and to no avail. Oh, but she is certainly funny, and Jernee & I enjoy her company from time to time.
She can be a bit much, though. This weekend, however, we are managing not to get on each other’s nerves too badly. So, I’ll take it.
Also, this is my first post using the Jetpack app which WordPress has basically shoved down my throat. Please tell me if the post is generated okay for you on your end.
I’ve also been using the Jetpack reader for about three days. Not bad. Not bad at all, actually. I may end up being a fan.
