Banana Boycott | Green Dog Wine

Even though I could have slept in yesterday since we got our long run finished Friday night – this MONSTER made sure I was up and at’em by 6:45!

It was pretty hot out yesterday, so oats were ruled out pretty quickly. Instead – I found this in the fridge:

and remembered I had this in my cupboard:

So I mixed it all together with a nectarine!

Then, I headed down to the Westside Market just to stock up on a few items for the week (and Mike came with me for the first time!!!!!!)

We ended up getting:

1 large eggplant
1lb of okra (only a few pictured here)
1lb of brussel sprouts (only a few pictured here)
3 seedless cucumbers

The shelling peas I purchase based on Roni’s produce pick (that Ryan – he really knows how to sell a product!)

There were TERRIBLE thunderstorms for most of the day yesterday – so Mike and I took advantage of that and curled up on the couch to watch a movie. When it cleared up for a few minutes, we quickly hit up Home Depot, Kohl’s, and Aldi. See? We know how to make an unproductive day seem productive!

When we got home, I was pretty hungry, so I made a FlatOut wrap and salad – all with the same ingredients: yellow pepper, pinto beans, lettuce, and cheese!

We hung around some more, took Lando on a few walks, and then Netflix came in the mail, so we plopped down in front of the TV again!

Halfway through the movie, I figured it was about time that I FINALLY tried this banana ice cream that everyone has been talking about:

Looks delicious right?? (How could it not?! There’s chocolate and peanut butter included!)

Honestly – I hated it. It was disgusting. It had a really bitter after-bite. Guys – I just do.not.like.bananas. I try, and try, and try, but I hate them. The flavor grosses me out, the consistency makes me want to gag. The only thing I can handle is banana bread or banana muffins. Sorry!

Alright – I’ve got to jet- Mike and I are off to see Food Inc. (wow, bet you haven’t heard that this weekend from a food blogger)

If only Sadie would let me sleep in till 6:45! Ha!! Can’t believe you don’t like bananas! They are my fav fruit! Guess everyone’s tastes are different:) Have fun watching Food Inc, interested to see what you think about it!

Bill will be so happy to see that you hated the banana ice cream because he did too. He said the exact same thing you did about it!

I must admit that although I love it, I can’t finish a bowl. I usually toss a little bit.

hmmmm i wanted to try the banana ice cream…glad to hear your thoughts on it! Your little lando is such a cutie…I think I need to see a picture of her sweet face every day!

Lando just gets cuter and cuter – no monster there, hahaha

I cannot believe you don’t like bananas. What kind of American are you.

Bummer about the banana ice cream!

Enjoy Food, Inc.!

Try the ice cream with frozen pineapple instead. Don’t argue or talk back. Just try it.

Hope you enjoy the movie!!!

Nine miles; nice work!!
keep up the good work…………………………

That dessert sounds so yummy! I can’t believe you don’t like bananas. Ah well, to each his–err, her own

Ha! Been there! There a loads of foodie blogger foods that everyone adores and I want to vomit back up (Larabars anyone?), so I get it.

And nine miles with your hubs? So jealous! I would love if Scott ran with me on occasion. Do you all run the same pace?

Also, I’m not ignoring you! My computer was down for several days so I couldn’t email you back but I will today!

[...] This was my first time trying out these bananas (and some of you may call my opinion of bananas from THIS post): [...]
