Evolution of a Dessert


9:00 AM : Decide to take chance on a yellowish banana
9:03 AM: Yuck! Banana is not ripe enough
9:30 AM: Guilt struck at seeing banana lying there, tuck it under the peel
9:35 AM: Remember substituting green bananas for plantains in a recipe years ago
10:21 AM: Thinking of fried plantains
2:41 PM: Banana no longer causing guilt, proudly announce "I'm gonna make dessert with that there banana!"
3:18 PM: Pull out can of chocolate cocoa
4:59 PM: Find bottle of triple sec in basement
6:15 PM: Slice banana thinly, put into hot pan with smidge of oil
6:16 PM: Lightly pepper and sprinkle cocoa on top of banana slices in pan
6:17 PM: Drizzle triple sec over frying bananas, get giddy with glee over the aroma
6:18 PM: Flip banana slices and turn off heat
6:19 PM: Put once small scoop vanilla ice cream into 5 bowls
6:22 PM: Carefully transfer 3-4 slices of banana from pan to ice cream bowls
6:25 PM: Finish eating banana

  1. That sounds really yummy! Whenever bananas are too ripe or not ripe enough to eat plain, we slice them and put them into pancakes, then you don't notice the over/under-ripeness too much.
