Market, a haiku
Meat and treats and fruit
Stalls and vendors line the street

A new year is here
Frozen lake, ground like tundra

Speed, a haiku
My eyes, watery
My ears, ripping, rushing wind

The Peregrine.
I crest the hill at 70 miles an hour. On the down slope I can see the town miles away and below me.
The road is cradled by steep basalt walls and uninterrupted by driveways or arterials.

Sleepy, a haiku
My tired baby
close your eyes, it’s time to nap
raindrops, lullaby

Patient hot chocolate
The recipe is easy. Making it requires patience. It should be a meditative process, resist speeding it up.
The recipe uses Abuelita, a dark chocolate with large sugar crystals and cinnamon. It is incredibly flavorful without being too sweet. To top it off I use a homemade whipped cream with a special touch. For the cocoa: - 1 quart saucepan - a metal or wooden whisk - 1 round of abuelita...
