Fruited Flight of Fancy

I love a full fruit bowl. Bananas begging to be slipped between two pieces of toast smothered with warm peanut butter. Nectarines needing to be eaten with gusto until the juice runs down your arms and stickifies your chin. Apples aspiring to transcend their bottom spot in the fruit bowl by hitching a ride in the lunchbox. Last but definitely not least, Mangoes mesmerizing the palate with the sweet flavors of a long ago place. The world is on my kitchen counter in a $2.99 bowl from Target.
