Paleo diet and burnt cookies

I have to admit that there seems to be a theme revolving around cookies in my blog. It also seems that I intend to share the cookies with Stephen, but he doesn't end up getting any of them somehow.....

Paleo diet and burnt cookies

It was a paleo diet dinner, a sparse
plate covered with multiple colors
of suitable root and cruciferous vegetables,
hold the white potatoes, please.
A few chewy pieces of grass-fed, free range,
humanely raised, Boulder County
buffalo purchased frozen from Vitamin
Cottage, our all-organic local food market.
How unsatisfying!
Then I remembered those cookies from
Mom that I threw in the freezer a month ago,
after eating the first half of what she sent
in one sitting. Peanut butter criss-cross cookies,
one of my favorites from childhood.
My mouth started watering as soon I
put four of them in the microwave,
two for Stephen and two for me.
Alas! Smoke poured from the microwave
when I opened the door. Not wanting to
offer Stephen poor quality cookies, I had to eat
the unburnt portions all by myself.
It’s all in the name of love after all.
