Coulee walls of Banks Lake, WA showing the inspiration: Flat layers of clouds Flattened basalt formations Flat coulees filled with nature: prairie bunch grass and mule deer FLAT Flowing clouds stretch into the beyond Lingering above towering basalt walls— Ancient lava rivers later leveled by glacial floods Teeming coulees, endless ravines of nature’s bounty.

a picture of a blueberry crepe-- a blueberry blitzen on a blue flowered plate: recipe and poem: Blueberry Blitzens A Family Tradition From Uncle Ron's Recipe 2:1 eggs to milk; So make it 2 eggs and 1 cup milk; Add 3 Tablespoons melted butter; Sift in 1/2-3/4 cup flour; Top with 1/2 teaspoon salt, Mix it up; Mix it thinner than pancake batter. Spread 1/4 cup batter thinly around on the bottom of a curved frying pan-- It's crepes you're making, spread it thin; Wait 'til the around the edges the crepe turns in Then flip it over to brown the other side; Pop it on a plate; spread thin with sour cream; Plop on and spread the blueberries; Sprinkle the sugar, atop the whole thing. Now roll it up, smile and sigh, Take a bite: divine--- Blitzen style. Blueberry Blitzens A family tradition Courtesy of Uncle Ron Ingredients: just a few: a bit of flour, pinch of salt, pad of butter: 2:1 of eggs to milk Mix them up, smooth as silk; Around the fry pan-let’s begin— Spread some batter very thin As the edges start turning in Flip the crepe to brown again; Plop it on a plate while warm Spread sour cream all around Top with blueberries all across A bit of sugar then you’ll toss; Now- roll it up, smile and sigh: Take a bite; “Divine!” you’ll cry! That’s the way to bring a smile: Crepes you’ve made: Blitzen style! Sheri Edwards 02.21.23 052.365.23 Poetry/Photography
