Favored, flavored, and.....athletic.

Rather than meeting its new habitat on dry paper towel, the plantain somersaulted off of the spatula hitting the counter and swiveling on the surface in a perfect figure eight before teetering at the edge of the counter to preface a potentially new yet unwelcome residence--the floor. Missing the warmth of the stovetop and the camaraderie of its fellow plantains, it quivered undecidedly in hesitance of what to do next. After a few minutes it looked up as the bottom of an outstretched hand became its ceiling. Aware of being lifted from the countertop by the weightlessness of its surroundings, the horizon of this favored and flavored food's view brightened as it landed on a new surface. Content but still expectant for more adventure, the plantain nosedived from the edge of the plate and found itself amidst shiny utensils. In a reflection from a spoon’s concave surface, it turned from side to side in approval, looking admirably on its new tan. Beautified by its impeccable brown color with dark areas that lined its outer edges and followed by more textured lines that ran done its side and into the middle.
