Thankfully, there is absolutely NOTHING phallic 'bout nanners!

Nope, they absolutely do not resemble each other in any way.

Not phallic at all, and this video proves it (1:25):

Currently enjoying a nanner ice pop!

I can't believe it didn't occur to me to post this beauty in both Lardy's birthday thread AND this thread.

Well, better late than never.



BANANAWESOMNESS!

Just tried out the cheap garage sale ice cream maker I picked up last month.

Because we're also trying out a buyers' club and ended up with a ton of bananas, it was logical to make that the first ice cream flavor.

Plus, I made some killer Banana Pecan Bread from my copy of James Beard's Beard On Bread.

Woo!

I had a banana smoothie this morning. The supermarket were getting rid of bruised bananas yesterday. Yums!

I think it's smoothie time this morning. Sure they're loaded with sugar, but I'll have some veggies and crackers on the side, for the sake of balance.

I hid some bananas in this collage, in case anyone wants to test their fruit-seeking skills:

I really like the effect Cleome. It didn't stop me printing it and eating it once I spotted the nanners though.

Mmmm... fiber AND... vital minerals!!

The banana I ate for breakfast gave me energy I needed to make it to lunch!

BTW, I'm sorry that my old flickr banana links are going dead. After procrastinating for a century, I'm finally getting my images moved off there and over to ipernity. But I can't do a mass action and move everything at once. So it's going rather slowly. Anyway, here's the source of thoth lad's impromptu snack from a couple of days ago (in its new home):

I used to routinely get nanners at work for my snack with lunch. But they're always too green. They come in super-green and are still too green on the day before the next truck arrives. Yeah, I know I could buy some, take 'em home and bring 'em to work when they're ripe--but damnit, I want instant nannerfication!!!!

I've seen some articles warning that a banana mass extinction is inevitable. The primary reason is that almost all the fruit raised worldwide is a single variety, which is very vulnerable to diseases and/or pests. There are lesser-known varieties which, for varying reasons, aren't seen as viable or profitable to raise and ship worldwide. So I guess even if those varieties continue on, our beloved fruit will ultimately become like peel-a-ble caviar.



So my advice would be to gather ye nanners while ye may, green or not.

Dear Cleome,

Since you posted your most recent excellent artwork, I've been making clocks out of nanners. Their curved nature makes them perfect for a clock face and the two curvy nanner clock hands make for interesting time telling. Now that's completely normal, and I'm sure we've all made nanner clocks at one time or another. What I'd like to know is if my phrase "You've always got time for a nanner" will take off? Or, will all the cool kids still be saying...



Or



... in the months to come. I fear that my catchphrase not being cool enough will relegate Nanner Clocks behind Tangerine Tea-cosies and Kumquat Kettles as the must have kitchen accessory.

Sincerely,
Fruit (Loops) Lad

I'm troubled by the implication. Perhaps yellow wasn't the best choice for the color of his gloves.

Reiterated, just because it's NANNERIFFIC!

I made some banana bread with chopped dried cherries and pecans. I steamed it for four hours in the slow cooker instead of baking it in the oven.

Good bread... cake... pudding. Whatever.

Yum! Send me some whatever for breakfast! Did it come out more pudding and less bread-like because of the steaming?

If you steam for about 3 1/2 hours, it will maintain some pudding-ish characteristics, especially while still warm.

But if you go for the full 4 hours, the overall texture is like fruitcake, but without that nasty rubbing alcohol-waxy fruit quality you get from the store-bought kind.
