Item: 5 Dole organic bananas

These are what's left after using some bananas today to try making a banana dessert recipe. The idea was to spoon fried bananas, toasted almonds, and cream into a tortilla and eat it like a taco. In theory this sounded good, but I realized after eating about 2/3 of one why I haven't ever been a fan of bananas in any state other than right out of the peel. Cooking bananas gives them a sharp taste, and adding them into anything (except maybe fruit salad) spreads a rubbery flavor over everything else.

Also as part of this recipe, I was directed to take sour cream and add powdered sugar to it, a defiance of logic which I couldn't help enjoying. Why not just use regular cream? But the powdered sugar/sour cream mixture actually turned out to taste pretty good - a little bit like cheesecake.

The problem was those stupid cooked bananas. I had fried plantains once at a South American restaurant in Chicago, and they were great, so maybe the problem is me. The rest of the bananas I'm just going to eat.
