Bananas

[Wayne]

Its been my limited experience that every signpainter I meet, -eats a lot of Bananas.- I myself- (although it might be my Ape heritage)- have a couple during the day, and always have a bunch in the shop somewhere.

Is it just the convienience? (clever little energy food -convienetly packaged for those painty hands)

Or does it go deeper?
colour? design?-shape?-Taste?-
or does it contain some vital creative vitamin ????

Whatcha reckon?..are you all banana-ers?...or is it just me...:)

[Adam May]

No Bananas here. Large quantities of Caffeine and Nicotine though. It usually helps to offset the sleep deprivation when Thursday and Friday roll around.

First time anyone has mentioned bananas though. It might be worth the research though. It also might be the key to better sign writing. Like the the Rosetta Stone if you will.

Good for the concentration i believe. And thats something we all need in this trade.

must admitt the site of a banana a hunger senser goes off ... but then again I'm a lots of fruit and vegie eater, and less then a pound of meat a day ...
smoke or drink very little.
likes some excercise before lettering a sign to me seems more important to good feelings in doing the job on hand

signwriters live good

[dave parr]

They are a good source of magnesium, potassium, vitamin C, B6 and fiber. One every morning, if I haven't run out. :)

[Signoholic]

Absolutely fantastic I say.. a mars bar (snickers bar) that grows on a tree all in its very own special wrapper, would be intresting to see some of you guys do a wrapper for one with the branding- pen & ink scanned or computer, lets see them banana wrappers lol :cool:

[dave parr]

So you're going to start marketing fruit under the "Signoholic" brand? Pete, have you gone bananas?

Okay, we'll get to work on the labels. ;)

[Wayne]

made me chuckle when the icon for "sign Banter" came up !:)

[sentinal43]

some times i drink that stuff that you get from ldil simmular to red bull but only 25p a can jst as good god 3 cans and im like im on speed

[Signoholic]

The Banana Bar! Here's my take on the commercial Banana Haha. Lets SEE yours! :)

[dave parr]

Haha, do these guys ripen in the wrapper like their natural counterparts? So you are going to use the new chameleon paper? That stuff that turns colors and gets spots on it with age?

[Mark Fair]

I love them "Nanners" (in my best southern accent)

My weakness is roasted peanuts in the shell.
spread raw peanuts on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.
No salt or oil. great quick treat!

[dave parr]

Oh no, you got Peanuts on Wayne's Nanners. Next we'll see a lable for the new, "Mark's Nanner-Nut Cups."

I'll give that peanut roastin' a try, Mark. Thanks

[Mark Fair]

hahahahahahaha good one dave!

The Great Banana Post "High-Jack!

2.4 billion pounds of peanuts are consumed in the United States each year. About 50% is consumed as peanut butter.

Hey Mark,

These might seem like a silly questions, but are you roasting the peanuts in the shell and do you buy them raw in the shell? The only peanuts I can find in the shell are already roasted.

Perhaps you have better sources where you are; maybe a heath-food store would have them here. Hey, I could start a peanut garden. :)

[Mark Fair]

hey dave,
I get them at Publix grocery store.
They have them raw and store roasted.
I like to roast them myself.
send me a private message or e-mail me and I will send you a couple bags.
they is gooooooood!

[dave parr]

Oh yea, they goooooooood! Just like you said Mark. I gotta work out the banana combination, it just sounds good. A fresh banana, split down the middle with fresh baked peanuts spread through the middle. We have to have a culinary artist among us. What else should I add? No salt, no sugar. Why do fried green tomaters keep coming to mind. . . . Probably cause it's late.

Thanks again, Mark.

[Chunkie]

Split banana (still in skin, add peanuts and grated chocolate, heat in oven till skin is black so banana is hot and chocolae bubbling. EAT!

[dave parr]

Ummm, I had a that split banana with fresh peanuts. That's it, nothing more, it's great!

:)

[Wayne]

Make up your minds fellas..

are you Nuts ..or Bananas?:)

[John Lennig]

growing up..a favourite family salad....
cut bananas in half lengthways, then in half crossways...lay them out on a bed of chopped iceberg lettuce...put a blob of peanut butter* on each pie`ce, with another blob of mayonnaise on that.... eat!!
*i use free range crunchy peanut butter nowadays...

btw...i have this for breakfast sometimes, too, just hold the lettuce!

btJohn

[dave parr]

A friend of mine suggested this:
Toast 2 pieces of bread, butter both, slice up the banana and layout on first piece of bread, sprinkle on the fresh peanuts, pour on some honey to hold it all together, add the second slice of bread. Sweet Peanana Sandwich. Eat

[Signoholic]

Hmm, they both sound great, am reconing peanut butter the way to go for me on the toast with the banana, just the thought of those hard peanuts getting jamed in my teeth, Im thinking here Dave the next swap might go gud on this theme - but thats your call mate ha.
