So, does anybody else make promises to their produce? Everytime I have bananas I dont eat fast enough and they ripen too quickly, I walk by and I tell them, YOU there...you are going to be delicious banana bread. The next day, I walk by and they are swinging on their fancy banana hook and they are looking a wee bit more speckled and I whisper, hopefully tonight? That night goes by and who the hell wants to bake at midnight after a long day? The next morning, the sun rises and there they swing, the dreaded freckled fruit...the oversugared bananas of doom that have a ticking clock of time hanging over their head. In my life I cant be wasteful. That is perfectly good food, there are starving monkeys all over this world that would love to have those. So, I put it in my mental checklist...tonight, MUST make banana bread.....aaaaaaand, nope. Totally forgotten until the next morning and I see them. Dejected, withered, forlorn and droopy. In a halfhearted attempt you see that they have pulled away from their skinny little dried up stem, the brown and deep yellow peel opened, exposing their naked and overripened, butter colored flesh now grown mushy and their scent cloying and overpowering the three foot radius around them like little old floozies who are in a bar, hoping to get that last, one night stand. So sorry, my intentions were good, I say to the judgmental fruit bowl standing as a judge and jury to my entitled and wasteful actions.
