Today’s Jumble haiku:

Just sniff the air as you pass an …)

Odoriferous Food Court

A spurt of cherry
updates (& honors) even
onion-flavored drinks.

In Yellowstone, where geysers lurk
A hydrologist is an expert.
When an old geyser
Is a retired high-riser,
That gusher becomes an ex-spurt!

Orijinz:
A goodie package you must share,
Homemade cookies or such fare.
Most of the pelf
Keep for yourself,
What your Mom baked with such care!

OwenKL said...

Cherry and onion make a chutney
Adored by some folks, absolutely.
Or a compote, somewhat sweeter,
They can keep it in their freezer.

On your honor, can you say
You like what you cooked today?
Updating for an air fryer kit
A recipe for onion cherry comfit?

Onion may make an odor-ly kitchen
Which will make the family bitchin'.
But at state fair, the taste will court
The judges, who'll buy it by the quart!

The social media celebrity needed a maid to deal with the scraps left in the hall from the excess goodies sent in my adoring fans.
Corridor Ort

There were so many onions in the stew,
He would have dyspepsia he just knew;
But he would eat it anyway,
In honour of this auspicious day.
The juices from the meat did spurt,
Leaving stains upon his shirt;
A care package with homemade rolls
Filled all the other stomach holes.
And like the cherry on the top,
He knew the gifts would not stop.
Soon he would update his blog site,
As was his custom every night.

OMK- great title. Yes, I had the dilemma of trying to make a meal with onions and a cherry. I smiled at your solution. You are succinct as always, while I rambled on. But I did get all the J, W, and O words included. Phew.

Owen gives us the onion/cherry combo too with several recipes - all award winning according to the judges. I smiled at the kitchen/bitchin’ rhyme.

Owen- LOL re your repurposing of the W.
The O took me 1:11 today before the Aha moment. Then I saw how your poem fit the theme. I received many from my Mom during university days.

"Renewed Food"

The chef had the honor of making
great meals that included baking.
He skipped onion but often used cherry
and good products from the dairy.

His recipes he did update
and some new dishes did create
with a lovely odor designed to court
new diners of an elderly sort.

These clients loved his tasty new food
and this put him in a grateful mood.

Misty- your poem today makes me hungry (although I don’t consider myself elderly).
You wisely had the chef skip the onion, since it does not go well with cherries. And your chef had great results.
I liked how you used a different meaning for court.

Re Wordle- OMK’s haiku, Owen’s Wordle poem, and my poem all contain it. Plus, I gave you a clue with my W results.
Good luck!

I like your blogger's attitude, CEh!
So grateful for his fans' support, he'll consume whatever they send him by way of foodstuffs.
I can't help thinking, though, that he'd be better off in the end if he were to get on line to thank his donors but explain how his gut can tolerate only certain items.
He could name his own goodies, then, in hopes they'd follow through--meanwhile donating the stew to the Salvation Army...

Thank you for liking my shortie. As I re-read my poem, I see it can bear an explanation--that the words "updates" and "honors" must be read as verbs, not nouns.
You got 'em right, but I even stumble over the wrong reading when I review them.

Owen is certainly master of the limerick form. I don't always comment, but I admire them.
I sometimes try my hand. I will get the first two lines down, but then get stumped trying to find the short rhymes, or to come up with enough of a zinger to properly close.
("That gusher becomes an ex-spurt"! That's good; "ex-spurt" is good.)

Misty ~ Your chef wisely saw the creation of meals as an honorable task, while he (and you) skipped the onion!
Look at that: NO onion!
(Who says the words dictate where you must go?! That chef knew when to toss an ingredient!)
His successes were obviously a "two-way street." His gratification of his clients put him also in a happy mood!
Hurrah for good food!
~ OMK

Thank you, thank you, CanadianEh!, especially, but Ol' Man Keith and Owen too---you all helped me get today's Wordle!
