One thing that really irks me is when fresh produce goes bad before I’m able to use it.  I try my best to use it up before it gets to that point but sometimes it just doesn’t happen.  We have a compost pile out back so my sad wilted produce goes out there.  I was about to take two little bananas to the compost one day when I decided against it.  I would turn them into something despite their blackened state.  So I whipped up some bananas foster French toast and saved the day. 

I know what you’re thinking.  And no, I didn’t have rum for breakfast.  Real bananas foster has rum and banana liquor added to the mix.  I didn’t think it was breakfast appropriate [even though I know it cooks down] so I skipped it.  What I didn’t skip was the chance to taste the spoon while the banana fosters was boiling.  Yup, I licked a hot spatula.  And it was so worth it. 

Can we just talk about this bread before I go on and on [and on] about the bananas?  This is my first ever homemade white bread.  I made that myself!  And it was amazing before it was French toast so you know it was even better after.  Making bread sort of scares me but I used Annie’s Eats best white bread recipe and it was easy.  [Seriously!] 

Now back to the banana topping.  Yes, I licked a hot spatula.  I had to taste test the recipe.  I’ve made this before and wanted to make sure it was right.  [It was.]  So while the sugar and butter were bubbling with the mashed bananas I dipped the spatula in and took a quick taste.  Then I had to patiently wait for the French toast to be done before I could devour it.  And that’s exactly what happened.  And that’s how two over ripe bananas saved the day.
