'Nana Puddin'
Want my recipe, he asked?
You really can't beat my banana pudding.
I looked at him---
Tell me more.
Well, you need bananas of course.
Sweet
Ripe
Firm
And you need cream
fluffy
smooth
white.
And then his lips inches from my ear
he whispered
But the secret is the honey,
sticky
thick
and oh sweet---
folded into the cream gently,
add the banana
and mix
and stir
and fold
until it's just right.
Wow.
That was impressive...
only I'm not sure about the honey step---
can you show me again?
And Again?
Because Baby,
I love to cook...
