I love the taste and texture of bananas, and all things banana-related (hold on there, girls, I'm being serious here!).
To clarify, I'm talking about fresh bananas, barbecue bananas, roasted bananas, banana loaf, banana pancakes, banana with chocolate fondue, banana milkshakes, banana smoothies (there's lots of banana in smoothies), banana ice cream, banoffee pie... I could go on, but will stop with these as they're all things that I've made and enjoy. In addition to these, I love those 'penny' sweets - you know, the ones that are made from 'stuff' which is coloured yellow, flavoured then shaped into banana-like treats. I know they're cheap and unhealthy, but I love them.
My banana obsession is known to all my close friends and family, so it was no surprise that on my birthday my son gave me a small parcel wrapped in tissue paper, with a ribbon and a bow, and inside was a small 'bunch' of sweet bananas that I intend not to share, but to indulge myself in. I've already started, but I'm saving some for later. Opening the parcel in the evening when all my day's work is done, and treating myself to a banana goodie, just makes me smile. (just like a banana!)
