Bananas

When I was growing up, my mom stored our bananas on top of the pile of plates in the kitchen cabinet. Whenever I opened the cabinet to get dishes to set the table with, a nasty whiff of banana smell would viciously attack me.

I think this is why I don't like bananas. I find the smell exceptionally awful to bear. E thinks it's funny to wave his banana peel at me... it's not though. Especially now that I'm pregnant and nasty smells have the potential to make me lose the last meal I consumed.

I can handle eating bananas when they're still a bit green. They don't smell as strongly at that point. I also really love banana bread. It doesn't smell at all like bananas. E made banana bread from my mom's recipe the other day. We consumed it at lightening speeds. Mom's recipe is awesome because it has chocolate chips in it. I think it's probably time to make more. Too bad that means having to buy bananas at the grocery store!
