10 Bananas

I'm house sitting. The person has left 10 bananas and they are going bad. Other than eating bananas for every meal, what should I do with them? Any ideas?

Put them in your deep freeze, and make Banana bread in a month or so.

That's the most interesting personal dilemma anyone has ever posted on NS General before.

I suppose you could use the banana peels for slapstick.

Good idea. However, I wanted to do something right now as I'm not here for a lot of time. May be I'll look for a recipe for B-bread. Yet it is quite hot.

A few ideas:
banana cake

Banana smoothies

banana chutney

Banana banoffee pie (great for clogging the arteries but not so good for diabetics)

And my favourite for old bananas:
fry the bananas in brown sugar and butter, with a hint of orange juice and peel. Then flambe them with rum. Serve with fresh cream.

Very simple if you're feeling lazy. Cut a long gash into the banana, take some dark chocolate and stick it in there wrap the banana in tinfoil. Fire up the grill, leave the banana on there untill the chocolate is melted and the banana is mushy. Then eat it with a spoon.

Get a blender and cream them. Then add some honey. Mix some of the product with an equal volume of milk and viola, you have a banana smoothie. The most addictive drink I have devised.

If you want to use them up quickly & easily, just make a banana shake. Simply put them in a blender together with milk. Add ice cream if you want/have any.

pick one of these banana recipes then throw the rest away

10 bananas is an unreasonable amount for one person to deal with.

Freeze them and make banana daiquiris with them tomorrow. If you use frozen fruit in a daiquiri, you can use less ice and it is more fruity and less watery.

Although I do admit a certain fondness for the banana cream pie idea. Perhaps COMBINED with the daiquiris? Oh, and by the way, I am never inviting LG to house sit for me... :)

As the banans are already famous now: sell them on eBay (or another online auction site of your preference) ! ;)

Banana shakes - milk, bananas, vanilla ice cream or, for variety, an flavor of ice cream that goes well with bananas. Whip it all together - mmm.
