delight

Twenty minutes before dinner I put the wine in the fridge to cool.
Red, a Pinot Noir, a walk with raspberries, Oregon's valleys.

A fillet of walleye in a gentle baste, a hint of salt, an aroma -
Oregano. The fish pops in the heat of the skillet.

My God, I love the cool handle of the scrapper - flip the fish
Oh! see the perfect brown, taste it in the air, feel your lungs.

Lighting is essential. No candles and yet ambiance.
One fork, one spoon, one knife, plate, and table. Modify that.

I like wine. I like fish well prepared. I like perfect lighting.

And I love music twisting elegantly in the background -
fishing nets draped over candlesticks and the delight of dinner.
