Nice spread, Rich and sweet. Like it. Wish I was there, too! In these difficult times, practice opulence!

Outside these windows, snow is blowing, but inside the light is yellow and the table is covered with food -- beans, corn, chicken, tortillas. Around the table are the cooks and the guests and the host, being guested at her own table. There is root beer, dark beer, ginger ale, vodka and orange juice, salsa and avocados. There are limes. There are old friends and new family. There is goddaughter, laughing. The man who cooked the meal is big and tattooed from the neck down. His earlobes are the size of condiment bowls. He should be fierce. He should be frightening. Instead, he fills the bellies of these recent strangers with chile verde, sour cream and salsa. It's cold out there. It snows, then hails, then rains. In here, it's crowded, and warm. -- ~ SB | http://www.sbpoet.com | =^..^=
