Yes, We Have Some Bananas

Is there any food better than a banana? It comes in its own biodegradable wrapper. It's easy to open. It has a wonderful texture. It's tasty. In short, it's the perfect food. A banana is also one of those foods I can eat anytime. Sick as a dog? Havabanana. It's also good with another of my favorite foods: peanut butter. I think Elvis liked fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches. I've never tried one, but it sounds like it could be good. And a banana split is certainly a superb summertime treat. Everything else in a banana split is good in its own way, but the banana just puts it all over the top. Without the banana, it's just not the same. Bananas Foster is a specialty at a New Orleans restaurant. We saw some banana plants in Charleston, actually bearing fruit. Some people raise banana plants in the Atlanta area, but they do so mostly because they like the look of the big leaves. Now and then they may get a small banana or two. The plants have to be moved indoors in colder weather. I eat two or three bananas a day. I enjoy them with my cereal in the morning and as a snack during the day or as desert at night.
