A food combo I've never even contemplated, much less eaten.  I'll have to
keep that recipe in mind!  Thank you.  On the other hand, I'm mostly
eating my foods like animals and Instinctos now, one food item at a time,
so I don't often "do recipes."

So how does one go about buying a 40# crate of bananas anyhow?  How long
do they take to ripen, and how fast do you have to eat them when they do?
 I assume they all ripen at once, no?
