Dilemma...

I was cleaning out my refrigerator the other day and I found an acai berry mix to make an acai bowl. Have you ever had one? They are delicious, healthy and are extremely popular here!

Anyways, I had all the ingredients except bananas. I have never had good luck when I buy bananas. I can never eat them fast enough before they ruin. I decided a while ago to buy bananas when they were on the greener side so they will be ripe by the time I am ready to eat them. This works well, but they still ripen pretty fast because I live in a hot climate. I decided to google how to keep bananas longer and a lot of places suggested a banana stand.

Two Friday's ago I went to the grocery store to buy bananas, low and behold they were selling extremely cheap banana stands, so of course I bought one. I also decided to buy the greener bananas because I wanted to wait a couple of days before I made the acai bowl.

Well.. a couple days passed and the bananas were still extremely green. I thought, man my banana stand must really be working, that was a good two dollars spent! A couple of days later, my bananas were still green. I told David I didn't know if they were still green because of the banana stand or if they were just green bananas?

Can you see my dilemma?

Eleven days later and my bananas are still green. This is one amazing banana stand.
