Ha ha ha ha ha! My Tosco close to me are rubbish at stocking bananas properly and always have a surplus. They sell off bags of 7 for about 13p. I currently have 2 in a smoothie every day. So I bought 11 bags of them as I use them from frozen, so stashed them in the garage, then woke up thinking I need to sort those! And when I couldn't sleep, I peeled them and rammed them all in the freezer!!!!! I hope that satisfies your enquiring mind

Thank you.........that really takes the...banana
I remain astounded (and how good that the *evil empire* is so inefficient at banana organisation)

Well just made hummus for the first time! Took minutes, can of drained chick peas in the blender, 2 cloves of garlic, 2 tbs of lemon juice, 2 Tbs of Olive oil, some paprika and curry seasoning! Whizzed up, made loads and only about 30p!!!! Woopie! Little bit pleased about it! Although running very late for work, best get off here!!!! Speak later

Littlies had porridge pots for breakfast again and I've had a smoothie for breakfast and I'll have the same lunch as yesterday. Loving this healthy vegan eating! Talk About energy!
