Organic bananas anyone? For saying we didn’t do anything to our banana trees this entire year (you’ve gotta love Houston for outdoor plants –we don’t even water and the plants do fine, I can’t imagine how things would do if I took an interest in them - probably worse...) we have a pretty good crop of bananas out there. Our first bunch of the season was ready to pick today – actually it was overly ready, they were falling off the stalk as Troy and Tayne were carrying them into the house, but they were super tasty-Tayne had 3 of them before we made it into the house (since they are kind of tiny that’s really like a banana and a half from the store). Unfortunately, because we waited so long to pick them I had to mash this whole bunch up for storage – that's about 11 cups of mashed bananas! I see many smoothies and banana breads are in our future, and seeing that there’s at least 3 more bunches on the trees that will be ready soon and a tiny bunch just getting started, I see banana bread in the future of friends and family too - ahh banana bread - not only tastes great, it ships nicely...

Scoop and Slim says. Great bananas. Love your laborers. Banana bread sounds excellent for Thanksgiving goodies. Pallas is really getting into the sunbathing groove at the Y. If she is anything like Tayne she'll be in the water as soon as she possibly can. I agree with Cindy's comment on the inventiveness of the Holloween Pumpkins before and after pictures.
Hugs and kisses to Mic, Handi, Dusty and Pallas. OO... 4 of you now
