Celery, carrots, chicken with stock <br />cooked in a pan, served up pipping hot! <br />Throw in some homemade dumplings <br />all fluffy and white like clouds. <br />On the side a spoonful of buttered corn <br />to feed my hungry crowd. <br /> <br />I always use my Mothers recipes <br />she left them to me with her old cook book. <br />She would write them down on pieces of paper <br />some fantastic goodies made up, that she would cook. <br /> <br />Add a pinch of this, and a pinch of that <br />I never seem to lose my place. <br />I feel her standing next to me <br />helping me make her German chocolate cake. <br /> <br />I will add some of my own creations <br />to the book my Mother left. <br />And later pass it on to my daughter <br />so chicken and dumplings her family too might get.<br /><br />Linda Winchell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/chicken-and-dumplings/
