Bananas

Well, our bananas never grew large to a "normal" size because our poor plant died! We chopped the hands off of the stem and brought them inside anyway to ripen. We never thought they would taste like "real" bananas, but to our surprise, they taste great! Travis has been eating his bananas on ice cream. Elizabeth & I have been eating ours with cut up grapes for breakfast.

I think this winter we will try to wrap them so they won't die back with frosts or freezes. We'll see how that goes!

On another note, tonight, we made Tuscan Lemon Chicken. It was super easy since it was cooked on the grill. The recipe calls for a marinade of olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, rosemary, garlic, and pepper. Grill or barbecue on low heat for 15 minutes a side. For the last 10 minutes, cut another lemon in half and throw on the grill. We drizzled the grilled lemon over our chicken and white rice. Delish! I will definitely try this recipe again. Thanks, Ina!
