Neat layers or dice

It up, in tears; this pearl

Of flavor adds savor

No matter which hemisphere.

Of millet dough were found in a buried

Overturned bowl

Dating back 4,000 years in

Lajia, China we are told. Have you

Ever eaten pasta, or anything,

So old???

Equal parts gloom and sun.

Thanks for the word, Kristina.

A precious possession, one

Very soon learns an

Essential lesson.
