Seduction Push-over dough wants only to please you, strokes chrome machine teeth, spreads skinny ribbons of pasta. My wooden cooking spoon whispers flirtatiously to waiting hunger, chases tender mushrooms, erotic garlic through shimmering oil. I invite appetite to pull up a chair, settle in and feast at my bounteous table. Thick tomato sauce crooks a beckoning finger, simmers with oregano, wears the scent of promiscuous basil.   c2000 by Jennifer Lagier
