In Which I Sonnetize A Recipe For Homemade Granola for @PaganVixen

Four cups old-fashioned oats; with them combine
A half of toasted wheat germ and of nuts
(Sliced almonds); and some cinnamon, so fine,
Two teaspoons; and one eighth of salt (takes guts
So far, no?). Then boil in a saucepan these:
One-half cup each of honey and orange juice,
Two teaspoons of canola oil. Then please
Stir in one teaspoon of vanilla. Sluice
This liquid o'er the dry stuff and mix well.
Spoon into a lasagna pan and bake
At 350 for twenty minutes. Hell!
Once it is cool add dried cherries and take
Care it's a cup, dried cranberries, add too.
And there you've got granola! Toodle-oo!

BONUS SONNET: In Which I Plan To Order Up A Pizza... For Science!

At Stirling University, was learned
A fact I've long suspected to be true.
That same stuff which so many mouths has burned
Is what makes pizza taste good in review!
The pizza sauce has fibers in it which
Prevents the crust from getting soggy, and
Keeps cheesy goodness in its place, all rich
And lovely on the top. That's why it's grand,
That pizza, cold, the morning after we've
Had it all hot and fresh, delivered or
Homemade in our own ovens. Always leave
Some for the next day. Research is a chore
But it's important that these great results
Are proved and proved again, by smart adults!
