Well, I can send you the recipe; the fruit prep half was actually the baking drabble I did yesterday (or was it Wednesday?)

Deb, That e-mail we were using the other day is being a little weird right now, so in case you don't get my insent...tell the Husband I'm vibing for him, and it's okay that you've not got the comments out yet.

erika, email came through fine, and backflung.

This is my first drabble that's not 100 words. I just don't want it shorter:

If the Garden had been in Jamaica, it could have been very different. Adam would have been forced to kill the snake before it ever spoke, just to stop Eve from screaming in terror.

We'd have gotten there eventually - we don't need encouragement to do the illicit. But would we have gotten the right tree? Or would we have been delayed by the creamy slipperiness of the custard apple, or the wine dark skin and crystal pale insides of the otaheite? Lying under the trees, staring at the sky, imagining we had indeed tasted what was forbidden, and that we did indeed know everything. Would we have looked at the complexity of a pomegranate and popped open another guinep instead?

Most likely, however, the man upstairs wouldn't have been so caught up in the Tree of Knowledge once we'd shown him the Herb of Relaxation.

OK, it's official - ita owns the 'fruit' category.

I'd say yuh, pretty much. Although there have been some really sensuous entries this time, yours among them.

Thirded. ita is Queen of the Fruits.

This one's about bananas...more philosophic than porny, though.

There is always one banana that doesn’t get eaten. Always. No matter how many or few we buy, there’s usually one. Sometimes mom makes her fake-it banana bread but even without a recipe you need more than one lone banana, usually three, though she’s mixed it with two before. It starts out like the others but maybe something bruised it. It has weird spots or maybe it smells overwhelmingly. But somehow it’s hard to toss, because this was the week we were gonna eat all of them, and we don’t want to let that go, even if we like the taste of slightly green bananas the best. Sometimes in life, I think I’m the lone banana.

Does this mean erika needs to be peeled?

There will be NO PEELING OF MY INTERNET WIFE.

Ahem.
