Peggy: That sounds delightful.

Bette: Good thing I went to the gym this morning and only had a salad for lunch.

Peggy: I must admit, Amos has out done himself and this Kadijha is delightful.

Bette: I would feel as if we missed the final act of the play if we skipped dessert, so I’ll persevere with you.

Kadijha returns with dessert, Mango Fool (mango, cream, mint garnish) served in a tall glass. The Papaya Fruit Salad is made of cheese, oranges, green grapes, apples, kiwis, bananas, papayas and water melon and is served on a small plate with slice of Banana cake.

Bette: Wow, what an artistic display, a great way to end the meal.

Peggy: I’m going to need that coffee to keep me awake after this meal.

Kadijha: Ladies, relax and indulge, these desserts are just fruit, they can’t hurt you.

All three ladies laugh and Bette and Peggy make valiant efforts with each dessert.

Bette: OK the Mango fool is just awesome.

Peggy: Yes, very good a something unique. It’s the kind of dessert I’d come back for.

Bette: Thanks for sharing this place with me I’ll have to bring Tina here some time.

Amos: So how did we do ladies?

Peggy: Amos that was absolutely sensational.

Bette: Yes, the only thing I wish I had was more room for all of that delicious food.

Amos: Well just make more room for us on your schedule we’d be happy to have you back. Thank you both for coming and it was a pleasure opening up our kitchen for you ladies.

Bette and Peggy chat a bit longer as Peggy settles the check. Amos knows to call Gerarado and he was waiting outside for the ladies as they exited. The ladies chat on the way back to Bette’s.

Bette: Thank you for a wonderful afternoon. I don’t think my solo day would have even come close.

Peggy: I promise we’ll do this again. Don’t forget Easter at my place. Gerardo will be here to pick you up at noon. We do an easter egg hunt at the house.

Bette: Are you sure you’re ready to have Angelica rummaging through your things.

The ladies laugh and Bette exits as Gerardo holds the door for her. Once inside the apartment she immediately puts in the Fela CD, takes her shower and dresses for bed. She calls Tina to check in and tell her about her improbable day.
