The Virtual Cook

The kitchen filled with love and laughter

As we embarked on creating the batter.

The call to three countries reached

In England, Germany and South Korea each

Of us began the ritual of our Saturday bake.

We all knew what we had to make,

My Nutella-filled peanut butter cookie plate

that LaReine had seen and desperately wanted to taste.

We measured out each ingredient in no haste

And began the mixing that made our muscles ache

We scooped them up and placed them in the oven

As Jin’s first batch burnt up half a dozen

And LaReine’s firsts all merged into one

But before long all the cookies were perfectly done.
