Shark attack! Not really…but my brother made this pretty awesome watermelon shark for my sister’s graduation party. Yes, those are Sweedish Fish that he’s eating.

Garlic scapes: a garden bonus this time of year. I am in love with their curly shape. Quickly sauteed with olive oil and tossed with pasta, these are sublime.

My parents live in a Small Town. I did not grow up there, and am thus somewhat skeptical of its charms. However. Check out this sign. That’s right. 99-cent margaritas twice a week. Sure, they are only open ’til 9, but note that these ain’t no happy hour specials.

Maybe these small town folks know what they’re doing after all.

Endless Bananas

I think it’s safe to say that at some point or another, we’ve all been faced with spotty bananas that we knew we just weren’t going to get to before they turned that final corner into banana heaven (the compost pile). Not due to lack of ideas, but due to lack of time. Luckily, there’s a quick and easy way to extend the life of your ripe bananas.

First, peel the bananas and lay them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Put the sheet in the freezer for two or three hours, until the bananas are solid. This is called flash freezing. It will enable you to pull one banana at a time out of the freezer. If you just put them all together in a bag they would freeze in one giant banana lump.
