Squishy bananas

After the rain finally blew away on Friday we had a pretty good weekend here. Saturday and Sunday mornings were chilly, afternoons mid-seventy, and a nice breeze blowing through, all the windows—all the windows—open wide. This afternoon it’s a little muggy and 80º, still not bad. 

But I need to revise my banana-buying plan because in weather like this they get squishy fast, all black on the outside and perfect for peanut butter and banana sandwiches, the best kind of peanut butter sandwiches there are. 

My Dad used to talk about eating bread and honey, He said, first you run out of bread but you still have honey left, so you get some more bread and then you run out of honey but you still have bread left, so you get some more honey…

Squishy bananas in the summertime are sort of like that. Bananas get squishy any time of year but in the summer it happens fast and you either have too many or too few. I have one left this evening, so I’d better go tomorrow and get more.
