The other day, I went to buy bananas in Chinatown.
There was a giant sign warning me not to take apart the banana bundles so I didn't.
As a result of that experience, I usually buy the whole bundle, regardless of where I go grocery shopping.
I can only eat so many bananas until the inevitable "bruising and browning" start.
Usually I default to frozen bananas or banana bread, but I wanted to do something different.
So I made meatballs.
Yes, BANANANANANANANANA MEATBALLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!
You are probably thinking that the idea of adding a banana into meatballs is really wild, but.. it's not.
To me, bananas have a tropical flavour... just like pineapples, and people add pineapples to tons of stuff:
smoothies, pizza, sweet and sour pork, and....... even meatballs!
It was a little risky, not because I made up the recipe, BUT because I had never made meatballs before and I was still getting use to the oven in my place.
The meatballs turned out well!
They were tasty and the banana flavour was subtle.
I had some extra meat, so I'll let you know what I did with it another time.

What to do with eleven yolks?
This was from a while ago and I just forgot to post it up.
My friend made an angel cake and had 11 egg yolks left over.
I had a feeling that he didn't have enough time to make something neat and didn't want to eat a giant high in cholesterol omelette, so he gave the yolks to me.
I didn't know what to do 11 yolks, but thank goodness for Google.
I found this site, which lists recipes by the number of yolks in the recipe.
One yolk, two yolk, three yolk..... four. Very Dr. Seuss.
Unfortunately, nine and eleven yolk recipes are are harder to find.
I just improvised and used a twelve yolk recipe.
Lower in cholesterol than the normal 12 yolk recipe. A very good selling point.
There were two recipes that used 12 yolks: a Gold Cake and a Daffodil Cake.
I used the Gold Cake Recipe, but modified it by adding lavender. Still a flowery cake.
