1 last minute hair cut, 12 banana breads and 4 X 4 dozen cookies later, Across the Bored realized that all the elves had jumped sleigh and today’s post would most likely wind up “This was Thursday (night)”….
ACROSS THE BORED 
If one more person asks if I’m ready for Christmas I might lose my mind. I am so far behind! Loved your post.

I love it! My special Sis gave me a Charlie Brown apron this year–I really should wear it! The 12 banana breads beg me to tell you something: I’d heard that bananas could be frozen for baking later, when they were too ripe to eat–however, I don’t know what the freezer time limit is, or whether they should be wrapped first. I stuck mine (accumulated total: 10) in the freezer “as is”, and every time I opened the door, they waged an attack (bruises on the top of my feet). Worst of all, when I used 6 for a recipe this past week–they really smelled “old” and “freezer burned”, as the bread baked. Thank goodness my neighbor is a smoker–says he doesn’t have a discerning sense of taste–as I didn’t tell him about the frozen part, and he thought they were delicious. Ramble, ramble….

I’ve been attacked by a few in my time! I think their shelf life is just under a year, although I’ve found that the breads cook way faster when you use frozen rather than just plain ripe in the recipe – I would wager the frozen ones make a tastier bread for the chemistry is a little different – broken down sugars, etc. I figure anyone who is lucky enough to get one shouldn’t complain!

Interesting about the chemistry–mine were definitely under a year (last summer’s), but if I try this again, I think maybe I should wrap or freezer-bag them. I don’t want to throw out the baking idea with the dishwater, to mix a metaphor!
