“Little Snail, hello, what are you doing?” - came the loud voice of Lyalya, on a video call, WhatsApp. –
.
“Come on, have breakfast together?” - the friend did not let up, cutting the bananas into two halves, - "freeing" them from the yellow skin, as the sun.
O! I will be all for it - I replied joyfully . -
.
“Can you imagine? You appeared on time! I'm terribly hungry! I’ve been inventing a game all night, and finally, I’ve come up! - I breathed
.
In the mean time, Lyalya, already poured brown sugar in a thin layer and on this "sweet pillow" she laid the halves of a banana.
.
“Little Snail, there are so many ideas in your head that the Black Sea would have turned out” - a friend winking, she spoke in verse. -
.
«That's right» - I laughed in response. –
.
"What are you cooking? Is it really ...? Caramelized bananas with bread toast? We know each other for a long time and, you never cooked anything, except for French cuisine " –
.
“Yes, yes ... It is true” - Lyalya nodded, in agreement, - So much I wanted to do “something” pleasant for you, and I couldn’t resist ”- she answered softly and continued to say - “I ran into the kitchen and ... look, what a magic I got today - caramelized bananas,” Lyalya finished speaking, pointing a plate at WhatsApp’s camera, on which lay a “honey-yellow” treat. –
.
«I see you teasing me» - I slyly smiled –
.
"May be?" - Lyalya answered playfully, adding another serving of sugar to the pan where the banana “was sleeping”” –
.
“Little Snail, it seems you came up with a game. What game is this?" –
“Let's play?” - I asked. –
.
“Emotions are what we now need, like the sun after winter - when quarantine in the country and being at home is the best. Let's start! ” - Lyalya answered cheerfully, adding 50 mm cream to the caramel. Constantly stirring it, until the “bubbles” turn into a honey-chocolate cream. –
.
"What is your favorite color? My favorite colors are yellow, black and red ”- I gave my friend an example. -
.
“My favorite colors are the color of pomegranate, dark chocolate and ... mandarin- lemon. Is it tasty after all? ” - “How delicious it is,” - I nodded to Lyalya. –
.
"What is my favorite flower? - that was my next question –
.
"Let me think ... yellow tulips?" - exclaimed Lyalya –
.
«Yes, that's right. What else?» - «More ... what else ... mmm ... for sure! These are red rose buds! I guess?» - “You guessed it,” - I smiled. –
.
“Little Snail, I want to ... ask you a question - Come on!” - I agreed - “Now ... just put on the table plates with toast and caramel. Mmm ... delicious, what a tasty breakfast I have got, ”said Lyalya, serving dishes on the table. – «Now, I can ask a question: what is my favorite dessert?» -
.
"Creme brulee!" I blurted out, lifting my index finger up. –
" Exactly! Gues ... - Lyalya didn’t have time to finish speaking, like ... a call to the door ... I threw off my headphones and hurried to the exit ... –
.
“Ta - Dam! this is your favorite dessert - banana caramel toast. I made them early in the morning and ordered Home Delivery”, - Lyalya admitted when I returned to the kitchen with a large white box on which it was written; "Little Snail, come on, have breakfast together?"
