Thanks to this post and your other commenters I now know I'm not insane!<br /><br />I also prefer them on the greener side and could quite honestly do without them entirely except for all the other banana-loving monkeys in my life.AliBlahBlahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03335907266347761153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7374001.post-74223204359774042212009-05-06T17:18:00.000+02:002009-05-06T17:18:00.000+02:00It's funny because M likes her bananas on the gree...It's funny because M likes her bananas on the greener side and I like them when they are "flecked with brown and have a golden hue, bananas taste the best and are the best for you!"

Because seeing and smelling ripe bananas does not make me want to eat things with them in it - duh.<br /><br />I'll try freezing them next time. thanks for the tip.mccutcheonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08217827266135043154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7374001.post-71295191638207680902009-05-06T06:37:00.000+02:002009-05-06T06:37:00.000+02:00I like mine half green, half yellow. By the time ...I like mine half green, half yellow. By the time they have any brown speckles, it's just too late - save yourself!<br /><br />HOWEVER.<br /><br />Ripe bananas are the best for baking - the riper the better. If I have bananas that are too far gone, I just peel them and freeze them until I want to make banana bread.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10006115623631732544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7374001.post-75899239393599408532009-05-06T00:06:00.000+02:002009-05-06T00:06:00.000+02:00I like how we think alike a lot of the time :)

I'll edit in the link to the recipe above.mccutcheonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08217827266135043154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7374001.post-31253494014670496012009-05-05T23:22:00.000+02:002009-05-05T23:22:00.000+02:00That's so funny.

Ew, I see people eat them when they're yellow and spotted, and it makes my stomach churn. Those bananas should have died a happy death in a loaf of banana bread - or cookies! - by then.G (aka LG)http://www.canihelpyousir.comnoreply@blogger.com
