a warm blanket

whispering i love you into my nose

tantalising

treasure dug from the oven

shiny, golden

impatient waiting for it to cool

heat in my hands

tearrrrrrrr

springy, light

one whiff, I'm back

homely clitter clatter

gentle thunk thunk of crockery on a wooden table

bubbling soup

sibling whine,

"but I don't liiiiike"

big red oven gloves

"careful! don't touch this pan!"

dunk, swirl

bite

rich savoury

mmmmm

happy tongue

happy belly

full, warm, content

pelting rain against glass

oversized sweater

and overlaying it all

around and between and under

the smell of fresh baked bread

+++++++

Thank you for reading! If this has got your tastebuds and tummy jonesing:
