The following recipe is from the July 2007 edition of Light & Tasty Magazine. With 82 fresh tastes for summer, I picked one irrestiable dessert. The recipe is by Allene Bary-Cooper of Ramona, Oklahoma, and is found on page 34 of the magazine. The name is courtest of Alex's player, Chrystali.

 While Natsuki was out attending to Junsu, a waitress from Cafe Jubilee arrived in a pristine maid costume, similar to Shuura's. Sleek, lime green hair and white ribbons fluttered in the summber breeze as she approached the judges' area.

"This is Miss Yanagitani's entry for the contest. She wanted to make sure it wouldn't go to waste sitting in the sun too long." the maid said addressing the cook-off reception area. Placing the large white box with gold embossing on the table, she removed a ceramic plate, filled with crumpled brownie. To the general passerby, the dessert appearted to be a far cry from the decadent creations of Natsuki's fame. However, the maid snapped open a stainless steel canister and poured out the piping hot, berry topping. Nodding in satisfaction, the girl snapped the lid back on the canister, and slid it gently into the white delivery case. She placed a card in refined penmanship beside the entry, one side displaying the description, and the recipe for success on the back. From her satchel, she took a bag full of disposable plates and flatware and handed it to the receptionist with a gorgeous smile. 

"There is enough for 24 people, so please enjoy it with everyone after judging is complete." At that, the girl in the bright wig turned in her heel and bounced off, ruffles and crinoline flouncing behind her.

 
Title: "Natchi's Famous Lady Lumps" 
Entrant: Natsuki Yanagitani

Rich French vanilla ice cream nestled between a crumbled brownie crust and topping surrenders sweetly to the juicy, fresh berries. Each spoonful is a rollercoaster of creamy chills and steamy thrills, as the gooey strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries burst in your mouth and the ice cream lingers ever-so-slowly on your tongue. Decadent fudge brownie laced with hints of crisp, refreshing apple sauce amplify the strong bittersweet kisses of lime, basalmic vinegar, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper, taming even the strongest health nut, and making them beg and plead for more.

Oh, please don't worry about the sweet berry sauce trickling down your hungry, ravenous lips... Natchi's Lady's Lumps have that insatiable effect on everyone. Merely, lick your slips slowly, bury your face again, and keep going, relishing every last drop.
