So ok...I love to eat bananas. You all know that. But this is going a little too far....
My host mom is also aware of the fact that I love bananas. Thus....every morning I eat two bananas with my yogurt. I can also take one for a snack. Or I can have platanos fritos...which I kind of like banana chips but more natural. When I go to cafe's I like to order banana smoothies. When I get ice cream I like to mix a scoop of banana with whatever other flavor I feel like trying (Pistachio, rum, Beso de Oaxaca, Mamey...). For postre/dessert my host mom gives me platanos dulces. One time I even had Platanos con tequila (a weird dessert thing) at a restaurant. Oh, and I musn't forget Agua de Platanos. Ay Dios!
BUT NOW....today my host mom informed me that for comida she is making Platanos Llenos (filled bananas). Chiles llenos here are quite common. But platanos? Filled with cheese and chicken and then cooked. Probably fried. I"ll let you know how it goes....hahaha. Either Mexico will cure my love of bananas or "feed" it into an obsession!
PS....Allie just informed me that bananas might go extinct. WHAT??????
PPS....Mom....your mission for when I return is to PLEASE buy all the bananas you can and freeze them in order to preserve them. I'm talking I'll need a lifetime supply! Oh....and like...a trunk full of banana chips! Andwhatever other form of banana you can think of!
Hehe. Love to all!
