I don't think this is going to take a banana specialist, but just in case you know one let's give them a call.
Why does it seem like when you buy bananas, regardless of ripeness in the store, they are brownish and mushy within 48 hours? Brian and I joke that it's just our kitchen, but so far science has yet to prove this. :) Perhaps we're bad banana-keepers! Anyway, I bought a bunch of fruit, including bananas the other day and they're already threatening to cross into the light! Once a banana is covered with brown spots I'm not really interested in eating it. They just taste too different and overripe. So it's time to do the only thing I can think of to revive them--bake 'em!
I adore banana bread, but to me banana bread is absolutely meant to have pecans or walnuts as an ingredient. And Will is too little to have nuts yet because of the allergy potential. And unless you've been living under an air-conditioned rock, the heatwave in Massachusetts the last few days has made baking quite possibly the last thing on Earth that I want to do!
So I'm putting it out to my "readers." Anyone have any banana recipes that they might like to share? The heat's supposed to break tomorrow a bit, so baking tomorrow night might be a possibility.
Oh yeah...1,000 cool-kid points to who can tell me where the title of this blog came from!

"It was my lucky day today on Avenue A..." Ok, not the exact timing of the script, but RENT is the answer. Where are my brownie points?
Aw, she beat me to it! I am singing that song right now in my head!
