I have managed to get an excessive number of bananas this week, and they are all ripe now. This goes way beyond 'make a cake' quantities, I think I'll need to freeze some for later.

    Frozen bananas work in smoothies. Sliced cake freezes well too. Hummingbird cake is a nice alternative to plain banana bread. If desperate take excess cake to work and leave in kitchen for some friendship points.

    I am already thinking of doing some cake for work. You can use banana for the icing as well - just beat the banana with icing sugar and some lemon, and it gives a banana-flavoured soft icing.

    The other thing I use banana in is porridge, it mixes through and adds flavour and sweetness. I'm not a fan of smoothies though, so limited use there. I might put bananas and custard on the menu for dessert tonight too.

    10 kilos, I suddenly feel like I have barely any bananas at all!

    I got a fruit & veg box from Funky Foods which had a higher than normal amount of bananas in it, plus I ordered some extra bananas because I ate them all really quickly last month. So I have nearly 20 bananas all to myself, which is too many for one person but nowhere near rum quantities, apparently.
