waldorf salad
the apples and walnuts chopped
carrots and cheddar sharp of course grated
not raisins no soltanas not good enough nope tart montmorency cherries dried
lemon juice just a splash
granulated sugar one quarter cup
mayonnaise the tang is just right scooped with no clear gauge
vinegar apple cider of course its sweet bitter meets the mayo and makes a marriage
one quarter cup
big metal spoon two hands hold the bowl several stirs and turns
just enough of a surprise making one scoop memories
the other relish something new

I like this recipe poem with interrupted comments! I read this so many ways, like with “makes a marriage” and “relish something new” — a recipe of relationship? I love the ambiguity I see here! Any time a poem holds a bit of ambiguity. . . .
Wonderful recipe poem!
