Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'm appealing to the hive mind here as I know there was a recent conversation about frozen bananas. I threw some ripe bananas in the freezer and pulled one out for a smoothie. It was impossible to get the peel off while still frozen. I ended up microwaving it briefly just to peel it, not ideal for a smoothie.
Do people freeze their bananas pre-peeled?
I peel and mash before freezing, because I usually use my frozen bananas in banana bread.
I freeze my bananas in their skins and then peel with a paring knife while thinking that I should have peeled them before freezing. Typically.
Heh -t that would be my experience too.
It's good to know that they don't turn into some kind of fiendish banana monster when frozen pre-peeled. I think I'll peel and skip the mashing.
Timelies all!
Yesterday we day-tripped Shore Leave, a local, fan-run media con. Decent guests. (Edward James Olmos, Katee Sackoff, Torri Higginson, Kevin Sorbo, Catherine Hicks and Dominic Keating) Attended EJO and Katee Sackoff's talks, and a discussion panel/group on Fringe. Got home late after filking.
I def peel before freezing.
Tour de France:
Oh, dear, Armstrong. I think I will be rooting for Leipheimer now. And Schleck.
So, I'm off to bed here in a minute, and when I wake up, it will be my last full day in China. I'm sort of freaking out about it! I didn't foresee being this sad leaving. I suppose that's a good sign? Being sad leaving a place? I would rather be sad that I'm leaving than be super excited to get out, I think.
Thank you for the birthday wishes Nilly!
Not only LeBron, Calli. There was a lot of schadenfreude aimed at ESPN, too.Which was funny for a while...who doesn't love mocking the bad boss? But he kind of kept it going to the point that even I was like "Well, glad you're over it." He could've ended up *doing* that interview, after all.(Well, actually, he wouldn't, he would stamp those huge feet and quit, probably.) I want David Simon as a Countdown guest. Surface differences aside, I think they would feel like brothers from another mother.The Eastern seaboard would experience an outrage shortage, though.
