Something useful and delicious...

I'm hoping this blog will be something useful to the people who choose to read it, not just me spouting soliloquies and babble. So here's something useful!

Bananas go bad. Here in Korea, they go bad really, really quickly for some reason. It's a waste of money and resources, and it's really frustrating; the banana looks so yellow and perfect in the morning, you're going to come home from work and snack on it. You look forward to it all day. You get home, eager with anticipation for that delicious infusion of potassium. And there it is, all black and nasty looking. Ewwww...

Well don't despair and DON'T throw it away!

Peel the sucker, cut it into bite sized pieces and place in a single layer in a good quality Tupperware container. Place in the freezer and allow to freeze solidly, about 12 to 24 hours. When you taste the frozen banana morsel it will be sweet and delicious, almost like banana ice cream! I don't know why, but the freezing kills all the slimy, yucky taste of over-ripe bananas and turns it into something sweet and delicious instead. They're also great for using in smoothies. These treats will keep well in your freezer for about 2 months.

Enjoy!
