20. A bit of yellow

It's yellow. Not happy, sunshiny yellow. Give a bit more orange to it. And some brown. But not too much or you've got the wrong shade. Now speckle it with that dark brown you were thinking of. Only a few here and there. Take that besmattered yellow and fold it into a tube. Point your ends. Now stretch one end out a little. Don't pull it too far or you'll ruin it. Just a small tug. Perfect. Square out that end a bit. Now the other. Just the tip, mind. Just the tip. Now bend that tube. Not that far! Easy does it. Like a spoon, not an unbrella hook. Smooth out the sides a bit. Just a bit. No, they don't have to be even. How many? Hard to say you don't want definite creases. More like bends. Those squared ends -- make them brown. That same speckley brown you used before. Perfect. Now rip off that longer brown end. Pull it down, down, down. Pull that yellow. Down. Take your first bite. What do you taste?
