Think Tank Thursday

Poets United prompt #54 is Inanimate object; perhaps the sun has fried my brain. It has been an interesting day. It all started at the DMV; my daughter took her permit test. It is like an episode of Seinfeld. The Nazis were in full performance today; they are abrupt, no smiling, it is always a strange experience. "Straighten the line, Why are you here?!" augh... Today didn't disappoint. Rude, no eye contact, no smiling. Geesh... Yes, my daughter did pass; we are happy!  I am in need of some chocolate therapy(okay, low blood sugar) so this is how it all began...

I am the 4th generation to have this item; I don't know all the stories that go with it, but I know the last 3 generations like to cook, bake.  I'm included in this mix :D

My Mistress beats me; she has worn me down,

Sometimes she hands me off to the Master, he is much worse

 I'm a family heirloom tempered, my luster is lacking

My first owner(great gram) called a lot of kettles black including my grammie

she stirred up gossip; she was really the tarnished one

Pregnant with a married minister's child, but tossed her pregnant daughter aside

I hold secrets, I tantalize taste buds,

I can impart pain, be careful I get really hot

ended up twins were born about a month apart from her daughter's child

memories stirred, lives forever changed

I usually get the raw end of the deal,  I don't mind

I do mind being tucked away

Halloween through Christmas I 'm loved again

My current owner has held me close since age seven

baking magic, memories stirred

She became ill 

I was used less

sugar free became the norm

bleck, I have feelings too

I'm a purist

Worn down I am

I have scooped, lifted and mixed many decandent dreams

I serve you, I help you prep, I lift, coddle you and what do I get

the dark void of the utensil draw

Your daughter now wants to learn, 5th generation

she caresses me with frosting, pizza dough, n' blueberry muffin batter

I'm family again, not a tossed aside heirloom

my cheeks are once again rosy and I swoon when I am held~
