We go through A LOT of bananas with all the smoothies we make, so we usually buy bananas in bulk. Sometimes, they go bad before we manage to use them all.
If bananas go bad too quickly for you, too, consider doing what I do: hang the bananas from their stems in your pantry!
…just don’t ask him for the recipe for anything he’s created — because he doesn’t know!
Oh he’ll start with a recipe in hand. Or rather, a HANDFUL of recipes — all for similar (but not identical) dishes.
Then he picks the best of what he likes from each of them, and he creates his “masterpiece”.
I figure I haven’t died yet, so I’m content to let him keep experimenting on me.
He definitely likes to “mix it up a bit.”
Actually, he likes to spice it up, and sauce it up a bit!
For example, if he’s making fried rice… it’s spicy/saucy fried rice with all kinds of leftover condiments he’s found in the fridge. (Oh, and some garlic too!)
If he’s cooking steak or chicken on the grill, it’s spicy/saucy beef or chicken — with some combination of rub-on allspice, barbecue sauce, Wild Turkey bourbon, and whatever else sounds appealing at the moment.
(…oh, and some garlic!)
In fact, you can almost always bet that WHATEVER he’s cooking will include these “fine” ingredients:
- ketchup
- mustard
- garlic
…no matter what it is!
And somehow, it works.
