When Jay was a baby he would ask for "Doose" which was, as far as I can recall, essentially anything he could eat or spill all over his little diapered self. A few days ago in my kitchen he invented a dessert out of miracles and cream. This dessert explored it all: smoke and spice, excruciating tartness, a rolling sweet cold warmth. He could probably sell it for eleventy dollars a teaspoonful at the local Bistro. I think we should call it "Doose."
