Well I haven’t either…..I mean a totally black banana….but take a look at that picture. Weird huh?
Here’s what happened. Yesterday morning I grabbed a fresh, yellow banana from the kitchen at home, drove to work, and promptly forgot to grab the banana from the front seat when I got here. So it was in my car all morning and after the show, I had to go out to my car and when I got out there I found the banana….still fresh and bright yellow….sitting on the passenger seat! So I grabbed it to bring it into the station for a mid-morning snack. BUT…..it was TOTALLY FROZEN. I mean HARD AS A ROCK!! But, still yellow. So I left it on my desk to thaw out and figured I would eat it later. I noticed later in the morning it was starting to brown a little bit, but no big deal.
Well I did not eat it yesterday and when I got here this morning….that black banana is what I found. Completely black! Not a total loss though. I cooked up some oatmeal and then peeled the banana to see what it looked like, and it looked pretty good under that black skin. So I chopped it up and mixed it in with the oatmeal for my mid-morning snack today! Tasted just fine! Pretty weird though that it turned completely black overnight. Stay warm and safe!
