Or even in a lifetime..bananas for me ..yuck!!
Same here! The taste and the texture both do me in--I can't stand bananas.
I only like greenish bananas, when they're still kinda hard. But I've read that those aren't great for your digestion (there's a compound in them that breaks down during ripening, but it causes GI issues for some people) so I don't really buy bananas at all anymore, unless it's for banana bread (which I do really like. Sliced, warm, with butter. Yep.)
Sorry you're having a grumpy day, Susie. Found any good anger-relievers yet? I bought an adult colouring book a couple months ago and that's now my go-to when I'm annoyed. It's totally soothing.
It's just resistant starch, similar to that found in beans (which is why they make people gassy and sometimes cause GI discomfort). I've actually never tasted a green banana, but I don't think it would make it taste any better.
They're less sweet and therefore better IMO.
EXACTLY. I'm all about not-quite-ripe bananas. If they have even the smallest of brown spots, they become dessert.

Have any of you ever read about banana flavouring?
Apparently, when artificial banana flavour was being made, it was based on a specific variety of banana which was popular at the time but hardly grown at all anymore. So apparently, artificial banana flavouring DOES kind of taste like real banana, but it's a kind of banana most of us have never tasted. Weird, right? Here's a link to an article that says it's kind of an urban legend but there is truth to it. This is another cool article on artificial flavours if anyone is interested.
I know this because fake banana is by far my favourite of any artificial flavour - I think I may have mentioned this on the thread before but I used to fake ear infections as a kid so I could get the banana penicillin.
Artificial grape, on the other hand, is like garbage in my mouth. We have a 125-count box of freezies in our deep freeze right now that's just had all the other flavours other than grape picked out of it because no one in my house likes it. I should throw them out because they will literally stay there until next summer otherwise.
I feel this way about artificial watermelon. I LOVE watermelon, but anything watermelon-flavoured is disgusting.
I loved the banana medicine too
Apparently you are my watermelon opposite. Get that fresh, drippy nonsense away from me and bring on the Jolly Ranchers!0 -
Update: I have finished writing all of my reviews. Said reviews will take place over a few days next week.
I was supposed to have dinner with a friend, but she had to cancel, so now I have no idea what to do with myself tonight.0 -
I own 1528 right now.
With my newfound power, I request that some of you lurkers (you know you're out there) say hi! 0 -

Hi!! I confess that I don't like banana or watermelon flavored anything. I like bananas and I can eat them just about any ripeness. I think watermelon is okay. 0 -

I was actually considering taking my run outside today. But I'm supposed to lift, so it seems silly to go to the gym AND run around outside.
I still might do it!0 -

You gotta get rid of that grumpy scarf. It's ugly. Trade it for a sunny yellow one!
I know, right? Super ugly. But then, yellow makes me look sallow...Susieq_1994 wrote: »MissKalhan wrote: »Susieq_1994 wrote: »Confession: I totally have my grumpy pants on today. And probably a grumpy shirt, grumpy jacket, and grumpy scarf, too.
Lol poor grumpy Susie! Obviously this means it's time for happy music yes? That tends to get me out of the funks
No, no. Definitely not. I'm in the kind of mood where I want to smack anyone who looks too cheerful. I'd probably punch the radio.
Disclaimer: Not really. I'm not a violent person. I'd most likely yell at it to just SHUT UP ALREADY.
Sounds like you need to find a different ensemble to wear!
Do you have any cheerful pants I could borrow?
How about a nice pink?

So I sacrificed 6 minutes of my lunch walk to go and buy bananas.
While at the grocery store, I saw one of my coworkers and -- momentarily oblivious to the fact that I had talked about craving banana in here and not IRL -- raised my bunch of bananas in a triumphant "see? I got them!" salute. Then realized that she had absolutely no idea why I was waving at her with bananas so excitedly.
Real life and virtual life are becoming somewhat muddled.
And the bananas themselves are an exercise in delayed gratification because they are too green to eat right now, even by my banana-liberal standards.0 -

Off topic, but when people used to ask my grandpa how he was doing (in his last few years) he always responded with "I Aint buying green bananas, if you know what I mean"

*post date update*
first date #13
yet ANOTHER dude that has pics posted, that upon meeting in person, were VERY out of date.
the funny bit being that he says to me, wow, you look just like your pictures!
WHAT?!?! isn't that the point? and i flat out say to him, you look absolutely nothing like your pics!
his reply? yeah, they're pretty old. *smh*
have a few beverages, pretty average basic conversation, dude was nice and all but seemed a lil toooooo laid back. like he had this grin on his face like 100% of the time and his eyes were never fully open. so after a few beverages i'm finally like what the hecks this dude's deal? so i simply ask him, dude, are you stoned? to which he starts laughing and he's like no no, i don't smoke pot. and i'm like dude, are you sure about that?? he laughs a bit more and says, well like klonopin and xanax...yeah. greaaaaaaaat.
AND he's drinking soda all night because he's got one of those built in court mandated car breathalyzers. now don't get me wrong, a designated driver is totally something i need in my life, and baby jesus knows i could easily be stuck in that situation given my shenanigans, but this dude was just not it. plus he smokes a pack and a half a day. no, no thank you.
first date #12 - update!
after our super quick first date, he texts me and asks when we're going to watch documentaries together (i've previously confessed a love of all the docs on netflix). so i say, "well unless it's in a theater it's going to be a while. *stranger danger!*" and he replies, oh, ok, have you lost interest? and then anytime this dude texts me and i don't respond within an hour or so he'll send me another msg asking if i've lost interest. it's a bit irritating. i'm not seeing a second date.
whomp whomp whoooooooomp

I love bananas. I could probably eat a whole bunch in a day easily.
And I just weighed myself and had to gape at the scale. It said I was down seven pounds from last night. I repositioned the scale, got back on, and now I'm seven pounds up again. The weight slides back on SO easily. 0 -
