Eat bananas backwards

Happy Hump Day! Please excuse my absence yesterday. It's winter and with winter comes colds and flu and I was feeling under the weather. 'Nough excuses... I'm back :)

A January Giveaway entrant told me about ecoSUAVE 2009 yesterday. ecoSUAVE is a "party with purpose" in Toronto next month. Thank you to the awesome Anonymous commenter for telling me about the event to "raise awareness "for health local food production." Click on the banner below or here for more info. I may be attending a retreat that weekend, if not I'll definitely be there. I certainly like to consider myself "effortlessly gracious and green in a social manner!" ;)

As I just happended to purchase bananas and other fruits at Kensington Market yesterday evening... Therefore found this tidbit very handy... "Peel a banana from the bottom and you won't have to pick the little 'stringy things' off it. That's how the primates do it. Also, take your bananas apart when you get home from the store. If you leave them connected at the stem, they ripen faster." - from an email forward from my Uncle M.

That's it for now... If you're in Toronto or an equally snowy locale... Enjoy the snow. There's lots! Oh and I say treat yourself to some homemade hot cocoa with tons of marshmellows on top!
