Martha Watson Carver I have the opposite problem…ours turn brown in a day of two..LOL. I always have to remember to put the bananas AWAY from the apples (not in the basket with the other fruit).
…from ezine article ‘You can place the bananas in a paper bag with an apple.
This is the best mistake I’ve made in a long time !
They are on display on my desk at the Art Center now as I have evicted them from my kitchen. I felt like they were being a bad influence on my under-ripe tomatoes.
I was saddened yesterday to discover that I only had two of the miracle bananas left. Then my friend Denise called with a wonderful suggestion. We all went out to the Little Hawaiian last night and took the remaining two bananas to the best bartender in the world, Jeff. He concocted fabulous drinks with them. I have pictures! The drinks were delicious, too especially since Denise and I followed them with a lava flow and a dirty martini!

Even Dan had his own banana story, a good year and a half later:
Dan called me from the University and asked “Do you see a banana and some letters on the kitchen counter?”
Me: “No.”
Dan: “Well it’s the strangest thing. I had them to take to work, but I can’t find them.”
All of a sudden, I had this deja vu vision of my drive home from work! I said “You know what? As I drove home today, I think I saw a banana squooshed in the middle of the road about five houses up.”
I said goodbye and went to investigate. I walked out the driveway and up the road, and sure enough there was our mail in the middle of the road. I think somebody laid them on TOP of his car before driving off. And the banana? Pretty much road kill. I was a little surprised that none of our neighbors stole our electric bill, water bill, and Belk sale flyer.
