Later Saturday
Unfortunately my Good Samaritan deed made me run late. I missed my leg
waxing appointment and I barely made it to my hair appointment on time.
Soon,
all that was forgotten because I spent the rest of Saturday with a new friend
and her 16-month-old. We had a lot of fun. But I told her I was scared to hang out too much because I
was falling in love with her son. [damn maternal instincts]. He and I share an undying love
of bananas - or "bah" as he calls them. My friend said I could join them
anytime. I must resist. [Who am I kidding? I can hardly wait to see them again.]
Early Sunday
There's
nothing like an early morning beach walk and stop at the Santa Monica
Farmer's Market for a leisurely breakfast on Sunday morning. I'd forgotten how
good that feels. I just don't think I can live without fresh coconut juice on
Sundays anymore.
Lately I've been a big banana freak. Before
this new 'healthy lifestyle' I could take them or leave them. Today I love
them. I can hardly get enough. When I want a snack, it's a banana. When I want
food of substance, it's a banana. Well, I was out of ripe bananas. I found out
quickly that the Farmer's Market doesn't sell bananas. It's about the only
fruit they didn't have.
My roommate bought a lot of bananas for
us this weekend. A LOT. Like, they take up an entire shelf in the kitchen.
But none are ripe. I stopped at Trader Joe's on my way home today -
specifically for ripe bananas - and they didn't have any. All of them were
greenish-yellow. Not even CLOSE to being ready to eat. How can I speed up the
riping process? Anyone know? I mean, I know to put avocados in a brown paper
bag. But, just what is it that makes a banana ripen?

Hmm, I have no idea how to make a banana ripen... ::scratching head:: :) Now I know why You and Stephen have a connection. He LOVES bananas too. He doesn't eat them as much as he used to. I think he's eaten more bananas than anyone I've ever seen!
A morning walk on the beach....Oh, man..I wish I was there. Sounds great! I'll be doing that in 2 weeks! woohoo! But you LIVE close to the beach. How nice!
love you xo

hey, freee. I love banana's too! there great, I have one banana and a chocalate slim fast drink at dinner some nights, yum. I am not a fan of greenish banana's either, I know a few people are. I love them when there a warm yellow, with little black spots on the peel. mmmmmm. to ripen them faster, I think you also put them in a brown paper bag...or is that to make sure they don't ripen so quick...hmmmm. I don't know...put them in the sun. :P have fun!
Um, mebbe put one in the fridge? You can always try it. Just one little nanner ...
I'm a greenie fan! I'm a greenie fan! I'm a greenie fan! Neener-neener! I mean nanner-nanner!
okay - OOOOUCH! Leg waxing? OUCH OUCH OUCH! I think its bad that I had to get my eyebrows waxed before the wedding, but my legs? You are ONE brave woman.
I'm a big fruit person and bananas are one of the main staples. But, yeah, it's hard as heck to find ripe ones. I actually look for the green ones though because they ripen so fast. Pretty much any kind of fruit works in the brown paper bag in a cool dry place for speeding up the ripening process. :-) ---Robbie
Put the bananas in a paper bag with an apple.
If you are really jonesing for a banana, baby food bananas are awesome.
