Sweet delight

 Writing is  much like making spaghetti sauce yesterday I cried While chopping onions sautéed them watching them turn brown and soften then i had to brown meat thoroughly and completely  then came  the sauce the bright richness of aroma coming together in color and consistency and all  I could feel was relief and pride  upon completion the task seemed untenable in the beginning but at  the end i tasted satisfaction A sweet delight from R's rue https://ift.tt/3nYGiVf
