I Declare War on the Banana Diet!

We don’t have to sit by while the “Morning Banana Diet” marches across the planet, raising prices for the fruit and making emaciated zombies of us all. Here’s a brand new recipe – from the Chubby Hubby Blog – for homemade banana ice cream, served between brownie cookies – that I hope will be the beginning of a massive counter-strike against the craze that begin a few months ago in Japan.

Banana tip: freeze them when they go brown. They keep for months, and you can use them to make all kinds of delicious stuff. Next in the arsenal: this banana pudding recipe – made with vanilla wafers – from the chitterlings.com soul food site (the recipe is almost at the bottom of the page.) We’re going to make some this week. Report, with pictures, to come.

Thanks to my Dad for suggesting the recipe.

Using the blog…

THE BANANA BLOG is about the world's most endangered - and dangerous - fruit. THE BIG PARADE is about stairways, route and transit geekery, and pedestrian pursuits in Los Angeles. You can also read all the topics at once, which might also include productivity, geekery, DIY whatever, mountain biking, stuff that I think is funny that nobody else likely will, and other boring, useless crap.

Read and Buy Some Books

Nobel Prize winner Paul Krugman recommends it. Listen to my interview on NPR's Fresh Air. My own op-ed in the New York Times.
