Was looking up to see if the plantain I fixed for breakfast was cooked right. It tasted great, but suddenly I remembered something in the back of my brain saying it couldn't be eaten raw, so was double checking the details.

Always good to check to see if you will die from eating something AFTER you've eaten it, huh? Oh well.

Found this site- after just last night buying a sack of ripe bananas for 25 cents a lb. Good, fast and easy ways to do a fun banana recipe for supper, breakfast or school lunches? Smoothie recipes seem nice, as do others. Look at their Menu Bar on the left.

Here is the plantain info. Just something different to make you smile.

And if anyone posts that bananas have sugar in them, blah, blah, blah...

[Eek!]

Let me say now I ONLY eat bananas when they fall off my hat while I'm dancing.

See........

Soooo, that commercial has not aired in, how many dozens of years? And now I'm singing it, not missing one word of the lyrics.

Thanks for the memories but now sure wish I could find other zippy tune to fill my brain !

Not what I was looking for but this one just too over: Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah!

Way to go Carol! Too cute! Isn't she lovely?

Hey Keebler- Is this the one? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhif_hPP56A

It says this commercial was produced in the 1940's and was only shown in movie theaters. I must have gone to a lot of movies cause I remember the song too!

BTW- Is it running through your head now? Over and over again? Sorry about that! HA!

Posted by Tincup (Member # 5829) on :

AH! I know NOW why I know that song- I wasn't even alive in the 40's so that had me puzzled! My dad use to sing all sorts of songs- especially on long car trips. That was one of them.

Here is one you might use to get the banana song out of your head.

Back in the day I dated a guy whose mom made these and they were delicioso! And she didn't have to balance a fruit basket on her head!

Yum, I need to start making these as a side dish!
