NOT all foods that drink good are good for you, and not all foods that are good for you leaning good. Nevertheless high among the effects that are good for you and sample good must be located the really matured banana.

This morning I awoke to a bunch of brown bananas, which really irritated me. I am trying really hard to not buy and waste produce. It is a HUGE part of my weekly shopping list, but it always seems like lettuce or peaches or tomatoes are being forgotten and ultimately tossed out. Why is it we never forget to drink the beer?

Diet plans to lose weight are always popular. And if the diet contains a food or food group that tastes good, then folks become hooked. Everyone jumps on the bandwagon, hoping for major weight loss. If it sounds too good to be true, then maybe it is. The cookie diet, the pineapple diet, the same colored food diet, etc.But in Japan, bananas are becoming hard to find in supermarkets. Even Time Magaz

Remember how my only real splurges were my 86¢ Union Station bananas? Well, they went up. And not by a little, but by a whopping 12%!That's right, instead of getting my usual dime and nickel back from the cashier (they never bothered breaking down the 14 cents), i was handed over 3 measly pennies yesterday :(What a shame too. I was already sucking it up by blowing 86¢ every day, but 97¢ is push

We cross so many paths during our travels. Who´d have thought that one of those paths would be a string of bananas? I sat in a collective taxi in front of a yellow gate blocking the road on my way from the Costa Rican/Panamanian border to the Almirante boat launch for Bocas del Toro. A train is about to pass, I thought. Before I could figure out why there weren´t any train tracks for this locomo

When people think about freezing fruit, they often think about frozen blueberries, frozen cherries, frozen strawberries, etc. (all super yummy and great for your health/diet), but today I wanted to write about another type of frozen fruit -- frozen bananas!

I have always loved "vintage" pop-culture; even when I was a wee lass I was a huge Popeye fan. I don't know if it is genetic, but my oldest son Jojo also has a love for vintage television: he enjoys (and asks to watch) shows that were popular before I was even born; his current favorite is the Yellow Submarine movie, but he also likes Betty Boop and the orignial Batman (Adam West...with

Malaysians like to eat fried bananas during tea time. This is one of the popular tea time meals for us because its delicious, soft, sweet and easy to get. To fry bananas, make sure that the bananas are half ripe to ensure best results. If the bananas are too ripe, they will turn very soggy, hence will be difficult to fry. Moreover, they will not end up in the original shape and melt with the oil.

I love bananas! I could eat them everyday. Learning about all the different types of dessert bananas, the tastes between them, and since my other 4 bananas seem to be thriving in my yard I decided it was time to add 4 new ones.

These were all tagged at $15 each but that Sunday afternoon pass through produce some great deals and these were some of them.

CNN are reporting on the Israeli safari park that has gone kosher for Pesach. It is really just an excuse to show orangutans eating matzah. (If you can't see the video you can watch it here)Now that you mention it I think I've been to a couple of seders like this before.I suppose the Orangs don't have to worry about the custom of not eating matzah for 30 days before Pesach!What I'm waiting for is the follow up clip of them drinking the four cups of wine and singing Ma Nishtana. That would be worth watching!This blog is from Rabbi Sedley. You can see more divrei Torah, halacha and shiurim at my new website RabbiSedley.com.

This afternoon I went to visit Tony at Landscaping and he showed me this banana flower. Neither one of us had ever seen a flower this large (the petals are oval about 9" long and 5" wide) and certainly had not seen blooms at the ends of young bananas themselves.

The use of trees to produce paper has increased greatly over the last hundred years. This has placed great demands on the world’s available forest resources and it is now widely recognized that alternatives must be found. Recycling has been embraced in many countries as one way to reduce the amount of deforestation by the re-use of paper.

The banana is one of the oldest cultivated plants in the world. It is mentioned in the Buddhist Pali text (600 BC) and in the Indian national epic poems (Mahabharata and Ramayana).The first direct commercial shipment of 20,000 bunches of bananas arrived in the UK in September 1888.The banana plant is not a tree – it is the world’s largest herb.The trunk of the banana plant is made from wood. It is created from thick leaf stems wrapped tightly together in overlapping layers.Each plant only bears one single stem of bananas with anything from 100-2000 individual fruit on it.During the war, bananas could not be imported into the UK and people in Britain did not see a banana for eight years.One wartime song, from 1943, went: “I get along without sugar; I never drink any tea; Eggs and bacon, beef and ham – these things don’t worry me; But one thing I always crave, and that’s why you hear me sing: Oh, when can I have a banana again?”The first bananas after the war arrived ion Go

Apparently lots of things wash up on shore in the Netherlands. First it was the Giant Lego Man and now it is bananas -- and lots of them. Thousands of Cuban bananas have washed up on the shore of two Dutch North Sea islands. It seems that this is nothing unusual for Terschelling island (one of the now banana rich islands). Last year thousands of tennis shoes, aluminum briefcases and children's toys washed ashore. And twenty years ago it was sweaters.

Hey everyone, I know you’ve probably heard all about why you should go organic, but maybe you never thought of it as a great way to provide the healthiest food for your child. Organic fruits and vegetables are free from pesticides or fertilizers—products that are potentially harmful to our bodies. Organic animal products mean that the animals were raised without antibiotics and growth hormones—chemicals that are unhealthy for both the animal and the consumer. Going organic is healthy for farmers, healthy for plants, healthy for animals, and healthy for your family. You can start introducing organic foods to your family gradually, and a great snack to start with is the banana push-up. Banana Push-Up Preparation Time: 10 minutes Cooking Time: 0 minutes Ingredients: 1- 1/2 large organic bananas (cut up) 1/3-cup organic nonfat dry milk 2/3-cup plain organic yogurt 1/4-lb. organic frozen pineapple juice concentrate 2/3-cup water 8 small paper cups Directions: Combine all ing

Has The Sci Fi Catholic gone bananas?D.G.D.: It began when a guy calling himself Che' Lovell decided to write his own version of The Grapes of Wrath, entitled The Bananas of Revenge, a play in two acts. It continued when he challenged me and EegahInc of The B-Movie Catechism to review it. Well, EegahInc wrote a clever and hilarious review, though he doesn't seem to understand what the play is about: I mean, it's supposed to be The Grapes of Wrath and he treats it as if it's supposed to be Attack of the Fifty-foot Banana. Oh, he also has a cool photograph accompanying his review, so I figured I better get one of those, too. Here's what I got:Yeah. Pretty sad, huh?

The other day, the man who may or may not be named Che' Lovell challenged me to review his play, The Bananas of Revenge. Just to confuse everybody, Act I of the play is posted here, and Act II is posted over here. I recommend reading the whole play (it's not very long) before continuing here.Also, Eegahinc of The B-Movie Catechism has already reviewed the play. Because Che' uses real movie stars for all his characters, this is probably more up Eegahinc's alley than it is up mine. Eegahinc is rattling off filmographies while I'm asking, "Who the heck is Sean Penn?" Che''s pop culture references aren't quite fringe enough for me.For that reason, I have recasted Che''s script so I can be more comfortable with it. Here is the new cast with its equivalency to the old cast:John Travolta is now Charles StrossTom Cruise is now John C.

It appears that their EcoChurch Director Che' Lovell (or perhaps his evil doppelganger) is currently scripting a play with the hopes of getting it produced on the stage, or maybe even someday as a movie. (You never know, I hear the Instituto Cubano del Arte e Industria Cinematográficos is always on the lookout for fresh talent.) And it appears the SOViers were hoping to convince me into reviewing the work in progress.Of course, I tried to explain that The B-Movie Catechism is a film-centric blog, but they started going on about the suppression of the freedom of self expression and my being a slave to th

Green bananas are used as starchy vegetables. They are not as nutritious as some starchy roots such as sweet potatoes or taro and should not take their place completely. They make a good starch for puddings. Green banana flour is used in the food industry. Ripe bananas may be used in drinks, salads, meat dishes, sandwich fillings, cakes, or other desserts. Ripe eating bananas make a delicious

For easy peeling, green bananas are boiled, steamed, or baked until they are soft, and then peeled. Ripe cooking bananas boiled with coconut syrup make a tasty sweet dish. A traditional chiefly drink in some Pacific countries is prepared by pounding ripe eating bananas and mixing them with lemon-leaf-scented coconut cream. Ripe eating bananas, mashed and cooked with starch, make a cake with a

From the weird, wacky and wonderful file… This site asks the question that’s on the lips of many a banana-toting New Zealander: “Are you fed up with bringing bananas to work or school only to find them bruised and squashed?” The unique, patented Banana Guard device allows for the safe transport and storage of individual bananas, letting you enjoy perfect bananas anytime, anywhere. They’re designed to fit “the vast majority of bananas” and feature “small perforations to facilitate ventilation…preventing premature ripening.” Well, I’m glad someone’s got their priorities straight. Go mad in our fresh produce section and grab yourself some fresh (unbruised) bananas. Share This

My road trip friends are awol. It's been almost a week. I'm sure they're making their way in a southerly direction, without thinking too many Florida thoughts. They last reported chilly tidings from Boston. They simply cannot have purchased coats. That would be too weird. But I bet they ate great apples. I miss great apples.If they're heading south, but not home, they should go to Dollywood. And they should buy me a snowy orb souvenir thingy from there. With Dolly Parton in it. It's a pilgrimage worthy of their adventuring hearts. And I haven't seen snow in ages.Anyway, I sent them a picture of my bananas to tempt them back. Of course bananas take so long to ripen they still may not be ready when the gang returns. I'm about to go off on an ADD-inspired string.Somewhere I read that bananas are a really labor intensive crop, they can only be harvested and handled by actual people, never machines.What should we do with the dead leaves? We can only wrap so much food in them. Maybe m

Jenny from Absolutely Bananas gave me this awesome award: Gotta love the graphic (and big, fat, wet kisses--who doesn't love those?). Thanks, Bananas!

It’s a bird. It’s a plane. It’s …. a giant BANANA, floating 30 to 50 kilometres above Texas, where it will stay for about a month. Why is the artist doing it? A few reasons, and one of them is: This is a daring action, defiant like a cowboy act. And the banana is macho and phallic, they say. It is in Texas because it has oil, and a lot of Walmarts, Exxons and Halliburtons. (and The Ranch) Interesting! Monkeys have gone into space and now a giant banana up in the sky!

Hello Friends,This is a very simple and cute game. All you have to do is steer the monkey away from the creatures and fill his tummy with bananas and other goodies. A great time pass.

Te tragas algo y viene la policía, te lleva a la cárcel y te obliga a comer bananas para que largues lo que tragaste. Jajaja. No existen los laxantes? y Cómo te quedará el trasero después?. Lean esta historia insólita:Un ladrón de Calcuta fue obligado por la policía local a comer 50 bananas para hacerlo evacuar una costosa joya que había tragado en el intento de no ser descubierto en su delito.Sheikh Mohsin se convirtió en el preso que más haya comido en la cárcel de Calcuta, pero no por un premio a su intachable conducta, sino porque la policía pudo constatar que se había tragado un collar de cerca de 900 dólares luego de haberlo robado.Dotados de una suerte de orden de allanamiento estomacal, la única unidad a la cual pudieron acudir los policías indios fue a la conformada por 50 bananas, las cuales fallaron en su cometido de convertirse en el laxante revelador del delito.Afortunadamente para los policías, el arroz y el pollo triunfaron donde las frutas fallaron y l
