The New York Times is reporting that the price of bananas is headed for a dollar per pound.How crazy is that?Just a little while ago we were buying bananas for 44 cents per pound in our local supermarket.I don't know about you, but I am in no mood to have bananas DOUBLE in price.In fact, I am not in favor of ANYTHING doubling in price.This is getting ridiculous.And yet the government tells us that

I'm moving this weekend - for the third bloody time in a year. This place was supposed to be long-term but my roommate bought a house. I'm on the years long list for affordable housing in this city (something I'll write more about on a future date) and because of the oil boom, the vacancy rate is somewhere near -50%.

Hi my-blogmedia readers. Continuing the earlier post. Enjoy.BananasAthletes and performers are familiar with the calming effect of bananas — a result of the fruit's high concentration of tryptophan, a building block of serotonin.

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.

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.

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. It's fascinating to me the different ways plants flower and bloom at different times of year here, even without drastic climate changes.Tags: Photographs, Parrot Cay, Turks and Caicos, Providenciales, Living In Caribbean, banana tree, banana flower, lynda lippin

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

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? Well, EegahInc may have all the movie knowledge, but I have...the dragon!Snuffles the Dragon: Enter the dragon.D.G.D.: I know you've been waiting years to say that.Snuffles: I have.

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. WrightSean Penn is now Robert HeinleinDanny Glover is now Ray BradburyCharles Curran is now H. P. LovecraftAnd the new script, abbreviated, goes someth

"Run for your lives, children! RUN!"Knoxville, TN is only about 3 1/2 hours away, so it's not too much of a stretch to imagine a small group of Spirit of Vatican 2 parishioners forming a convoy of VW vans and Toyota Priuses (or maybe even just hitching a ride in order to further conserve fossil fuel consumption) for the purpose of traveling down here and picketing outside my theater. 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.

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.

Ripe eating bananas, mashed and cooked with starch, make a cake with a

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.

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.

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?.

The yellow-skinned fruit that can easily make you "slip" is perhaps the most under-valued of all fruits. We all know it can help in weight control, is rich in potassium and is delicious to eat. But did you know that it can help you quit smoking too?? Here's a brief write-up on the less-known medicinal properties of this fruit which I'm sure would help you some way in your life.Smoking: Bananas can help people trying to give up smoking, as the high levels of Vitamin C, A1, B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal. Stress: Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalise the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water-balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be re-balanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.

***Updated below*** Yesterday, after showering and waddling naked through my house, wrapped so tightly in a towel I resembled a sushi roll, I looked at my suitcase and schwag bags lying on the floor, taunting my lazy ass to unpack and put things away. I could just hear them dare me to leave them on the floor to become permanent parts of the decor. Do it, do it, they whispered. Not one to succumb to peer pressure (snort), even the pressure created in my mind from two inanimate objects, I took a deep breath and dumped the contents of the bags on to the top of my comforter. There! Take that! I thought. This way, I would have to go through my dirty laundry and schwag and put things away. It was on my bed. My precious, soft bed. I had no choice now. One would think that I would have immediately started putting things away, right? Nah. I was standing there, wrapped in my towel, and let’s face it, it was starting to get a little drafty.

Quem disse foi o Banco Central, vulgo BC. Relatório do dileto órgão dirigido por Henrique Meirelles apontou que em 2005 e 2006 as transferências de jogadores de futebol daqui para o exterior renderam mais divisas ao país do que as vendas de banana, importante item de exportação de nossa vasta pauta.Em 2005, a exportação de boleiros trouxe ao país US$ 159,2 milhões, já em 2006 houve uma ligeira queda e o total foi de US$ 131 milhões. Enquanto isso, dados do Ministério do Desenvolvimento mostram que as bananas renderam US$ 33,027 milhões em 2005 e US$ 38,460 milhões em 2006.Para quem não sabe, o Brasil é o segundo maior produtor de bananas do mundo, e perde apenas para a Índia no cobiçado ranking frutífero. A Confederação Brasileira de Futebol registrou a transferência de 851 jogadores brasileiros em 2006, 804 em 2005. No entanto, estima-se que o êxodo de atletas seja muito maior, já que a estatística se refere somente aos boleiros profissionais, sem incluir as

How's that for simple?   Going Bananas Over: #1 My Child Cara's sleeping through the night (finally!), she's taken a couple of steps on her own (not half bad for 7 months, 3 weeks and 5 days) and she's thrilled to see her Dad

“OPEN WIDER, PLEASE…” If all of this is true, I have a new outlook about flossing and keeping dental appointments. One of China’s “players” behind the growing world food scare is Zheng Xiaoyu, former head of the State Food and Drug Administration. Xiaoyu was indicted in China in 2005 on charges of taking bribes from [...]

Ray Comfort just doesn’t know when to quit. He’s tried to prove the existence of his god with a banana, brought up a coke can during a debate with the Rational Response squad and in a soon to be published book titled “The Atheist Delusion” he’s comparing disbelief in the existence of his god to disbelief in electricity. There were once three men who considered that they were very wise. They lived in a country that had only just been introduced to electricity. One dark night, the men were invited by Edison Electric to see a demonstration of electrical power, because it was well-known that the three of them were skeptics when it came to electricity being a reality. The reason they denied its existence was because they didn’t believe in anything that could not be seen. These men were rationalists, and electricity was said to be invisible1. They refused to believe in something that couldn’t be scientifically demonstrated. When they entered the dim

These bananas finally ripened and made quite a few loafs of banana bread. The kids have been enjoying fresh fruit and vegetables from the garden. They have been picking at least 10 cucumbers a day. These they either love to eat fresh or as a cucumber salad with sour cream....that is until I told them what sour cream is. Now suddenly they are grossed out by it. That's kids for you.The kids had their bowling league awards ceremony today. They all came home with pins and Asia received a trophy as the most improved player. They are all very proud of themselves and I'm proud of them too.

How cool is this? A banana shaped case to protect your bananas from getting bruised. Another fabulous find from Firebox, this is available for $8.95. The perfect idea to stop you from going...er, bananas!!

Not so fast. You're going to have to read on to find out...If you're heading over to teach English in Seoul, you're gonna miss a few things from back home. Some people miss the chocolate selection. Some miss the junk food selection (although Seoul has more than enough convenience stores to fill the void). Some miss clean air that involves living on the westcoast of Canada (there's nothing wrong with yellow dust--actually, who am I kidding the stuff hurts your throat, eyes and mouth). What do I miss? I miss the fruit and vegetable selection at a decent price.The price of fruits and vegetables here can be outrageous ($6US for one pear, $2US for one kiwi) compared to the prices we're used to back home. The selection can also be an issue as well. However, we've always tried to make the best of it. Golden kiwis from Costco. Apples, frozen durian, cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, and pineapple from Homever. Grapes, strawberries, and oranges from the farmer's truck on the side of the road

A couple of weeks back I picked up two String of Bananas plants at Home Depot greenhouse here in Chicago. I already owned String of Pearls (Senecio Radicans) and have been wanting to add this plant to my cacti and succulent collection. Since I've owned my String of Pearls it has flowered twice for me and I didn't know until the flower had died. Today I went into check on the new plants and saw that my String of Bananas was flowering. I quickly remembered that the flowers were suppose to be fragrant so I picked it up and sure it enough they smelled like cinnamon. I spent a good five minutes just inhaling the wonderful aroma from this flower and tried to snap a few pictures. Unfortunately we're back to winter here in Chicago and there's a lot of cold but very little natural sunlight and only managed to get one photo of this flower that I thought was usable for my gardening blog.This is my first time participating in Green Thumb Sunday and I couldn't wait for it to actually be Sunda

Hold the phone! There is some seriously crazy shit happening in the shoe department lately. From bright patent leather to animal prints to raffia to beady bijangley thingies to super stilettos to chunky, funky wedges and strapilicous flats, there is just so much going on and quite frankly, I'm loving it! Afterall, an outrageously fantastic pair of shoes can save face on any otherwise blah ensemble. And if you think you couldn't possibly find these designer oddities in a wallet friendly price range, think again - see what I spied at Wet Seal.Left: Patent leather wedge, $795 (Pierre Hardy at Bob Ellis shoes)Right: Crinkle Patent Peep Wedge, $24.50 (Wet Seal) also in black, fuchia and turq

Dole (Standard Fruit Co.) and Chiquita Brands (formerly United Brands, formerly United Fruit) have a 100-year long history of contaminating land and water, suppressing unions, bribing government officials, exposing and even knowingly spraying workers with carcinogenic pesticides, and violating even the meager worker protection laws that Central American countries have.Workers' lives in the banana republic, which referred to an interesting story called Life in the banana republic written in Ireland, sparked so many comments that I thought you might be interested in some other articles and studies done about the real cost of bananas. I've included some quotes from each of the articles below each link.The Price of Bananas: The Banana Industry in Costa RicaEcosystems have been destroyed on an ongoing basis, and the rights of workers and indigenous minorities are regularly violated.Big banana companies own the land:Over time, the existence of this huge monoculture -- supported by large c

Corporate Responsibility Mondays continues with a look into the fruit industry, and my personal favorite, Bananas. For those new to the Corporate Responsibility Mondays, my goal is basically to highlight a company in the industry that is being corporately responsible. My co-blogger, Josh, will be highlighting a company with a poor and sketchy history. This week we will be talking about bananas. My hope is that each of these posts causes you to seriously consider your purchasing choices. I’ll be honest this will be the toughest one for me, because I love bananas, but if there is an option, I feel pretty compelled to take it. Today will be a brief lesson in corporate identity stuck into the middle of our banana conversation. The logo above is one you might recognize if you’ve ever looked for ethical coffee or tea. The first thing we need to clear up is that the logo above is for a Trademarked corporation, it is not the exclusive label for fair trade items. This means it

From recipes for fried bananas, to banana sandwiches, banana pies, fruit salads and more, there are great types of different tropical food combos that are perfect with the sweetness of a delicious banana. Bananas are picked after once they have matured, but while they are still green. However, before eating, bananas should be completely ripened. Banana fruit baskets would make a great gift for any culinary enthusiast who loves to cook with tropical fruit.The fact of the matter is the downfall, as well as the blessing, of the nature of banana trees. These trees produce fruits that ripen all at the same time. Therefore, you send them to be sold, dispersed and used, or they rot and are wasted to mush or are food for hungry insects. An over-sized banana is likely a plantain. A plantain is a part of the banana family, however, they are much less sweet and are used for other purposes. For example: plantains are often used in recipes for other cultures.Bananas are great for cooking. They tast

Bueno, mientras en España periódicamente nos conformamos con hacer una cutre campaña sacando al Arguiñano de turno diciendo que el plátano canario es bueno, los de Chiquita se han puesto las pilas para aumentar sus ventas de banana a nivel mundial. En el reportaje aparecido en el International Herald Tribune dan cuenta del ambicioso plan de la empresa, basado en una nueva forma para mantener frescas las bananas una vez separadas del montón. Es decir, una forma de vender bananas de una en una y perfectamente frescas.  De esta forma la empresa podrá ampliar su cadena de distribución más allá de las fruterías de supermercados y grandes superficies, llegando a cafeterías y pequeños comercios que no tienen un suministro diario de productos perecederos.Por ello en colaboración con Gen3 han desarrollado un nuevo envoltorio para su envío y conservación que mantiene la temperatur

That banana post made it onto the Health page of the Reuters news website, Friday March 9th,  apparently through Blogburst. According to Mike, this is a big deal. A very big deal, so big a deal that he made a copy of the page for posterity. He’s so cute. I’m a little stoked about it. A little.
