Leonard Cohen

Here’s a quickie to start out easy, but don't underestimate its potency.

Lifted from www.artistdirect.com

Named after one of my idols whose discography I own nearly all on vinyl, I call it the “Leonard Cohen” without his permission. I did ask on his Facebook page but Leonard Cohen hasn’t answered yet – but I hear him calling all night long (Tower of Song reference). I figure he would be honored as Mr. Cohen is a dangerously seductive, French-Canadian, Poet-King of Music. (And speaking of the King, you know Elvis had a thing for fried PBJs; however, they did not serve him well, RIP)

As with any of these recipes, mood is key. The atmosphere demands perfect lighting and sound. I suggest Maître Cohen’s Dance Me to the End of Love, I’m your Man, Closing Time, etc . . If you have none, stop being a Philistine and go get some! It may be all you really need.

Necessities:

Fresh Croissants (French)

Nutella (Canadian)

Peanut butter

Banana

Jam I like grape. She prefers raspberry. We compromise and use raspberry . . means-to-an-end, ya'll

Extra Virgin (LOL) Olive Oil mister Only if it’s available to you!

Let's get to it - this can get messy, but that can also be a good thing!

1. Lights, music, sexy eyes (requires practice in front of a mirror) 
2. Cut the moist, fresh croissants in long halves, but not all the way. They should be slightly attached and somewhat suggestive *wink* 
3. Ever so lightly, spray the croissant inside and out with EVOO. DO NOT USE A BRUSH – you’ll put too much on and fuck it up. The EVOO just makes it nice and crisp; you don’t want it greasy . . . yet. 
4. Open-faced, toast the croissants to a light brown in a pre-heated oven at 350 degrees. 
5. Spread Canada’s gift to the world on one side 
6. Spread George Washington Carver’s gift on the other 
7. Spoon on some jam 
8. Finally, arrange very thinly sliced bananas in the introitus

Now, say something funny, make her laugh, use protection, and if you’re adventurous maybe a little Nutella, jam and GO BANANAS!!
