Plantain Madness

Of course, green plantains that are purchased at the same time, ripen at the same time. I knew that.
So, why am I surprised that I suddenly have a plantain problem, now that they’ve all ripened at the same time?

Argh. Anyway, they’re delicious. So far, I’ve deep-fried them in oil (the sugars in the plantain caramelize beautifully), and wrapped them in egg roll wrappers & deep-fried them*.

And of course, all the bananas in the house are now way too ripe, too. So, they’re getting the Thai fried banana treatment…yuuuuuummmmmmy!

Healthy diet starts tomorrow. Probably.

(* I am of the waste-not, want-not philosophy when it comes to deep-frying, since it uses such an enormous amount of oil. We do it very rarely, like 2 times a year, so we just fry stuff all day long and collapse at the end, completely sick of fried food. It’s fantastic.)
