Living Lessons #1 & 2
Since I'm living alone in my apartment here for the next few years (or until a roommate comes into the picture), I thought I'd start recording the lessons I'm learning as a 23 year old bachelor living alone in central Asia...
Lesson #1: Don't store bananas in the cereal drawer.
Lesson #2: Don't store bananas in the refrigerator.
Why, you ask?
#1 (Cereal Drawer): Apparently, stuffing bananas in the drawer next to cereal boxes doesn't give them air or sunlight or something they need, and they go real bad real quick.
#2: (Refrigerator): Though refrigerator storage works great for such fruit as apples and grapes, bananas tend to get hard and bad in refrigerators.
Hopefully Lesson #3 will include the correct place and way to store bananas...
Hint: Put them in the open air but away from other fruit. If you put them somewhere dark and warmish, of course they'll go bad. And I don't know what bananas have against refrigerators, but I've seen that too. If you put them with other fruit, they'll go bad more quickly than if they're by themselves, and I wouldn't recommend one of those things people use to hang bananas with--I think it stretches the stems so they go bad more quickly. As far as I know, if you leave them on a flat surface, they'll be okay.
You're welcome. I just know you wanted a banana essay.

Here's another suggestion...eat the bananas! Your stomach is the best place to store them...plus the carbs are really good for you.
