I’ve been wanting to get involved in the Royal Foodie Joust* (see the Foodie Blogroll thing on the right) for awhile but before this month either the ingredients were too precious for me to play around with or I just didn’t have the time.

We tend to buy three bananas and eat only one, so I always have a supply of frozen bananas.
