I have a friend who uses frozen bananas to make smoothies. I'm guessing that any extra moisture is beneficial in that usage.

I'm not going to quote from the article in case anyone has maggot fear....

Bless you, my child.

I'm trying a tea latte with chocolate powder instead of vanilla. It's interesting.

I'm flabbergasted by the nasty frozen banana ick. I freeze bananas all the time, peeled, in orderly little rows in a ziplock.

When I'm ready to put one in a smoothy, I just rap the bag against the counter and one volunteers for duty. I break it up in chunks, whirl and devour.

Then again, I don't let them really thaw, so perhaps I'm spared the nastiness. I'll file that away for future reference though.

Speaking of bananas. Possibly NSFW.

Ooh, reverse cowgirl! Kinky!

It looks very scifi. Why can't we have buildings like this in the US?

There's a highrise that's sorta similar to that going up in lower manhattan -- more chrome than glass, but the same kind of vibe.

Well, Chicago was supposed to have The Spire, but it's currently a hole in the ground for the foreseeable future.

I do like the Spertus Museum for a rather funky looking modern building.
