sweets all day. though, i confess,
sometimes i need salt.

A double haiku about a much-beloved fruit :)

Yellow crescent joy,
fast to be devoured by I;
never to form spots.

How then, will quick bread
ever perchance comprise of
ripe uneaten banana?

perfect perfect eggs
cooked as many ways as there
are folds in my hat

Ode to an Apple/
Oh Apple,I am charmed and beguiled.
From the first intimate crunch,this mouthful of celestial joy begins to court me with its honeyed laughter and dreamy blossom field perfume.
I can't blame Eve entirely.

Chewy fresh noodles
from Oakland Chinatown with
homemade XO sauce.

;o) My deepest, heartfelt thanks to the wise (and generous) halfpint, for sharing on the Hotline the XO sauce recipe (from grubstreet.com), which has made many dinners at my house appreciably better these past few months.
