Today I wanted something sweet to eat, something creamy like yogurt.  But yogurt is dairy and makes me hot flash, and I don’t really care for how dairy clogs my sinuses.  I broke down the components of what I wanted.  Something sweet but not real sugary sweet.  Something creamy but not fatty or dairy.  Something I could nibble hot or cold.  Hmmmm… I had an overripe banana in the freezer, so I thawed it to create the “creamy” part.  I chopped an apple and put in a saucepan with a half cup of water, a splash of white wine and about a 1/4 cup raisins.  I added a teaspoon of brown sugar, a pinch of sea salt, two coins of fresh ginger root, 2 drops of rice vinegar, 2 drops of vanilla extract and two shakes of ground cinnamon.  I cooked it on medium heat until the raisins got fat, the apples got soft and the sauce got thick and sticky.  I removed the ginger coins. I stirred the thawed overripe banana into it and poured into a small baking pan.  Into the oven at 350 for 20 minutes.
