Cooking with Bao

 (first off Bao is pronounced like bow, as in bow and arrow)

From the farmer’s market,

To your kitchen table

Vegetables take the lead

Bao will show what’s able

Hand picked them just for you

Fresh as all can be

Radish, carrots, beets,

Even sugar snap peas

Hmong grown with pride and love

Cabbage and Potatoes, 

peppers, lettuce snd more

even cherry Tomatoes

Sit back and relax friend

She’s a sweet potato

Right from LaCrosse Local

Yes it’s Cooking with Bao

Thanks for the inspiration both to cook and to write this little ditty... it has music, and I love how singing it changed it up a bit from the original write. 

Here's one I know I'll be cooking this year, and Bao will show me the way.
