The Kitchen:

As I casually meander into the kitchen I become overtaken by the intoxicating aromas that consume the atmosphere. I sense so vividly the aromatic foods being created. Too my right crowning the stove lies a gargantuan pot. Its contents draw my attention. The long slow ululation of the meat sautéing in the oiled pan awakens my senses. To the left of the stove I see a vermilion sauce draping lusciously flavorful pasta contained within a large chartreuse bowl. As I pass the oven and look into the window I witness the mocha-brown color of a pan of warm bittersweet chocolate brownies. Finally I turn to dispense myself a glass of frigid sweet tea. As I turn to leave these ingratiating flavors seem to draw me to remain in their midst yet I must continue on because my purpose only is to pass through.
