I used to think that a banana that looked like this was ready for the bin.
Not anymore. When I open bananas like this now, I’m excited to see the beauty hiding underneath the peel. I know it’s going to be sweet, and soft, but not too much of either.
Look at that beauty. Ready for a banana shake, sweet, and no blemishes. Justo, our grocery delivery provider, delivers our produce when it’s quite young, green, hard as rocks. Just the way I want them delivered. When they come here so green, they can ripen in peace on our counter, without being bumped around in the bin at the grocery store.
This is a perfect example. If any bananas are left when they ripen a bit more, I peel them, then freeze them. That way, when we want a shake, I don’t have to do anything else but pull them out of the freezer, open the vacuum sealed bag, (you know the ones), and blend them with milk, sugar, (for YKW), and cinnamon. Yummy.
Anyway, that’s it for today. Until next time, stay happy, and healthy in the Lord.
