Mmmm! Fried Thai Banana...

Have you ever tasted a Thai banana?

They are DELICIOUS.

They taste completely different from the regular supermarket bananas.

And they're the cutest little things.  Minis! 

 

VN's parents have a Thai banana tree in their backyard.

Yesterday his mom taught me how to fry them in tempura batter.

One word: YUM.

Here's a lovely picture of my handiwork.

I'd say I did pretty well for my first try.

 

Stripped Down 80's...

I'm not sure if you watch Glee, but I certainly do. I love the music numbers! Even if the story lines are a bit too dramatic at times. This week one of the male actors (Cory Monteith, who plays Finn) sang a stripped down version of Cyndi Lauper's 80's hit, "Girls Just Want To Have Fun." I'm kind of in love with this cover. If you click on the player below and listen to it, I think you'll hear why. It's very different from the original, but I think it's nice. Go on; click it. You know you want to...
