so i have this problem with bananas. deep down i know they're good for me, but i can't seem to eat them on a regular basis. it's not that i despise them, but i just can't bring myself to eat them sometimes. if i eat them on an empty stomach they will often give me pains as if jack bauer, CTU! is trying to get information out of me by extracting my stomach through a pinhole in my abdomen.

jon and i went through this song and dance every week where he would ask me how many bananas i wanted (he picks out the bananas at the store because he has mastered the art of how quickly they ripen). no matter what number i chose, i could never eat them all. even if i only got one, that banana would eventually be all spotty brown in the fruit basket. this is what i call the point of no return.

i would feel immensely guilty after the p.o.n.r and refuse to throw the banana away. a co-worker once told me that those bananas are the best for making banana bread. and hey...i love banana bread! i love cooking! woo-hoo! after a while, the bananas would disappear into the trash and i would scold jon for tossing out my perfect-banana-bread-making-bananas. he finally said to me, "just admit it...you're never going to make the banana bread".

ok fine. i have to admit he's right (see friday confessional re: procrastination). so my genius co-worker told me to just throw the bananas in the freezer until i'm ready to use them. she's a vet so you know she's smart.

so currently we have 15 frozen bananas in our freezer. it only takes 3 bananas to make a loaf of banana bread. excuse me while i get to baking.
