Bon Appetit
A Rare Treat
The waiter asks me
“How would you like that steak cooked?”
I answer the same:
Rare.
*
No overdone grey
Brown center devoid of
Juices and flavor.
Rare.
*
Sizzling outside crust
Layer of warm pink goodness
Bright cool red center.
Rare
*
“Bloody and mooing”
My husband is disgusted.
He likes shoe leather.
*
Rib-eye, sirloin, strip,
Burgers, t-bone, prime rib, all
Just licked by the flame.
Rare.
*
It melts in my mouth.
Carnivorous ancestors
Celebrate with me.
*
The number of times
A chef correctly cooks it
Perfectly for me:
Rare.
