Kneading and Stirring

Nothing to do, nowhere to go
Summer has passed, soon it will snow
The honey has settled to an amber glory
In the kitchen I'll prepare a story
for the senses: the smells, the taste
the feel on the tongue
You'll be drawn to the scents
I'm certain you'll come

A soft butter dough for the lightest of biscuits
Onto my board while it is stickiest
A dark, rich rue in the pan with some broth
for this gravy, the recipe has no auth
The tender roast has rested, ready for dissection
I've kneaded and stirred a meal of perfection

For dessert? A sweet treat paired with coffee or wine
An apple-cheese tart with crust flaky and fine
A meal fit for lovers: there'll be moaning and sighing
Kneading and stirring, love-making through dining
