OMFG WAS GONNA POST ABOUT GREEN BANANAS

❝ (David M. McIntosh) "I, for one, do not want to eat the suspiciously green bananas from the government store," ❞

this pendejo

my son bought these. they look exactly like Chiquita Bananas but aren’t. as they ripen, the skin stays green.

the thing is: BANANA RIPENESS IS GAUGED BY SKIN THICKNESS & SOFTNESS NOT COLOR.

these green bananas are super sweet and bananay in flavor after the skin thins & the fruit softens

"Day-O (The Banana Boat Song)" is a traditional #JamaicanFolkSong. The song has #mento influences, but it is commonly classified as an example of the better-known #calypsoMusic. It is a #callAndResponse #workSong, from the point of view of dock workers working the night shift loading #bananas onto the large ocean-going cargo ships known as #bananaBoats. The lyrics describe how daylight has come, their shift is over.

This is a pic from a few years ago, Dec 2021. The banana is a Blue Javan, also known as an Ice Cream Banana.

I liked the detail you see for several stages of the blooming process.

Taking another look at this because a banana peel is not just changing color. It is quietly showing chemistry at work.

Green, yellow, brown, and even unusual blue or red tones can reflect pigments, waxes, ripening, and time.

Another large banana flower out at the moment. There are several more flower stems emerging which will flower in about 3- 4 weeks. Even though its cooler over the next few months here in the #farnorth of #aotearoa, the bananas continue to develop, even though more slowly. #bananas

Island Spider – Harry’s adventure

This is the cover artwork for my story, Island Spider. It’s the story of Harry, a very hairy tropical that gets gets caught up in a bunch of bananas and is transported to a far away land. After surviving various adventures he needs to try and get home.Luckily for him there are some locals to help him do it.

The story in printed and ebook form is available on all Amazon sites. This is the .co.uk link, https://www.amazon.co.uk/Island-Spider-Paul-No%C3%ABl/dp/B084Z42CDC/. This is .com, https://www.amazon.com/Island-Spider-Paul-No%C3%ABl/dp/B084Z42CDC/.

The book contains a number of line drawings that are repeated at the end of the printed book so that they can be coloured in by younger readers. This is where Harry makes a run from it from the bowl of fruit that he has been hiding in.

You know what I miss? Small bananas. And what's frustrating is that there's no place I can go to particularly find small bananas. It's a crapshoot, but 90% of the time the only bananas I can find in the markets are huge.

The small ones taste better and are a much more convenient size unless you're starving for a giant banana. So why aren't they available most of the time?

Weathered White Brooklyn Banana Bench

Back in 2021 I documented a well-painted banana bench in Brooklyn. Five years later, the bench looks a bit worse for wear.

Scientists just discovered a remote Caribbean island where every banana grows perfectly arrow-straight. Zero curves.
The banana industry is ecstatic: 'Finally, easier to pack and transport!'
Meanwhile, the public is horrified: 'Nobody’s gonna trust a straight banana.'
