Well, she did it to me again................

Nevada Ed · Apr 11, 2026

Looks like I am going to have bananna hot cakes again,

since they were not used up, before they turned lightly "brown" again
which the little lady will refuse to eat, when they start to get spots on them.

Enjoying my coffee right now, the batter will have to wait for a while, this morning.
Got the idea of adding one pealed, seeded, apple to the pot, to see what turns out.

The Masters starts in three hours. Interesting news on a few players, this year.

Stay well.

Yes, banana pancakes with peanut butter!

Thanks for the reminder, I was gonna make French toast, but… banana pancakes it is!!!

You could also fry them … in a pan, butter + sugar, add some brandy and flame it off. Plus a scoop of vanilla ice cream if she likes.

bananas are the fruit of the devil.

I will not sully the temple that is my body with that evil produce.

Why do you say that?

A few spots on the outside puts your wife off bananas? Wow!

The missus usually goes with banana nut bread if they've turned.

I do you like me some banana bread!
But if you served banana daiquiris, I might agree to watch golf on TV.

Sigma Fanatic · Apr 11, 2026

Give me enough daquiris and I can watch paint dry.

Praying you never get brown spots on your hands.

Here, we blend them up with a quart of heavy cream and freeze them for healthy popsicles for the grandkids

Just had a big piece of banana cream pie, so good. But a big problem is shelf time on one. Two days top and into the garbage.

2 days ?? You have some left in 2 days ?? You’re not trying hard enough.

Get out a DVD or record a movie. Take the pie, a fork, and a napkin to bed. It’ll be gone before the movie is over.
If the wife objects, tell here the couch is comfortable! (I’ve heard that a few times)

Try wrapping the stem bundle in the plastic bag they came in. This traps the ethylene gas produced by the stem, slowing down the ripening process. Or so says Google. I've been trying it and it does seem to work.

I was thinking the same thing Before i read this post

My wife wraps the stem bundles in small pieces of aluminum foil she keeps handy for the pupose. She's been doing that for over a year and it seems to work well. The kids and I don't really care though, because overripe means her delicious banana bread!

wterrell · Apr 12, 2026

The Chiquita company is the absolute worst thing to ever happen to food. They convinced a whole generation of women that a ripe banana was no good. If the peel has a brown spot, then the banana was no good although the banana within was perfectly ripe.
And....bananas do NOT ripen after being picked green. They merely begin to rot.
I haven't eaten a ripe banana in 60 years. Ripe bananas are delicious. What they sell today is a chalking, bland piece of crap. Young people do not know what a ripe banana tastes like.
And the insanity spread to tomatoes, peaches, apples, and every other fruit. Nothing is picked ripe any longer. And people convince themselves that this crap tastes good.
Go figure!

Some people treat their bodies like a temple; I treat mine like an amusement park.

Bananas Foster!

REParker · Jul 13, 2026

I hope you guys know the rule:
Never eat a banana in front of another man.
That's what I heard, anyway.

mtgianni · Jul 14, 2026

With two active teens in the house, they each eat a banana a day and my wife and I probably eat 4 a week. There is no better source of quick potassium.

M29since14 · Jul 14, 2026

Bananas are ok - but not in pancakes!

Blueberries goin pancakes. Preferably quite a few of them, 3/8-1/2 inch in diameter. None of those freakish giant ones.

Well, she did it to me again................
