I have bought the bananas for this recipe four times. Four stinkin’ times I’ve thought I’ll whip this up yet something always comes along to derail my plans. With great hope and good intentions, a nice firm, just barely yellow bunch of fruit goes into the cart. With despair and a slight sense of failure, I later watch them blacken on the counter. For nearly two months now, this is the recipe that could’ve been but wasn’t. Instead, I’ve made 4 loaves of banana bread, untold smoothies and I’m certain there’s the odd banana tucked into the back regions of my freezer that I just couldn’t deal with. Despite our best intentions, sometimes life just gets in the way.
