Mum's recipe for Apple Almond Pie
coming down through the wires to me
left shoulder raised, holding phone in place
scribbling ingredients on a scrap of paper
butter and sugar – beat together
add the egg and almond essence
mix it all with flour and baking powder
the chopped apples and milk come last
PTO for the time and temperature
plus a poem about Dad and me

| An actual scan of the recipe I wrote down - everyone in our family loves this pie! |

| PTO and it's part of a poem I wrote about an early childhood memory - complete with spelling mistake! |
Simply wonderful, Kirsten. The phone call, the scribbled recipe from your mum, and a poem, too. How purely delicious.
